I've been to Lisbon and the stadium before, you don't want to stay near the stadium, it's just your average city suburb, go for a central hotel, there are plenty to choose from and the metro makes it easy to get around the city and is cheap, a day ticket costs around 5 euros and is valid on the buses too IIRC.

TIP: Don't try and fare dodge on the metro.

Re: Sporting Lisbon v Man City 1 night stopover
Im staying at a hotel near
Praça dos Restauradores nº78 - 4º andar, Baixa / Chiado
lisboa, 1250
Portugal
though the reviews are not too great, 75 euros from tuesday to Friday and then heading to Faro for an early saturday flight home.
The hotel does not get a great review, but it is a decent location close to quite a few cafe-bars and restaurants (that are reasonably priced, it is also beside the railway station and its own metro stop, and a short stroll to the city centre.
Cant recall any decent waterfront bars in Lisbon the last time i was over (unless you head out to Belem, but the riverboat cruises are well worth the money to get a different view of the city (and a complimentary beer, the rest you have to pay for)

Re: Sporting Lisbon v Man City 1 night stopover
For me the best bars in Lisbon were in the Square Parca dos Restauradores or the Square Dom Pedro, these are at the bottom end of the Av De Liberdade, theres some cheap little local bars and if you get the chance, get into the Ginja bar where they sell the local Licor, Esphinhera.
I spent 8 weeks there for the Euro's and never had a bad meal or found a bad bar, locals were spot on.
Theres a couple of late night spots to be disclosed at a later time.
Theres some affordable hotels in those areas and your right on the metro system which is also very efficient

I'm booked. My 4th or 5th trip with Spike. I have arranged a couple of trips out for me and a few mates, but only when we wanted to and could stay a bit longer. With all the hassle of booking, the extra cost of taxis and trains etc, any saving on a DIY trip is hardly worth it in my view.
