Liliaicha Sep 2016 5:30pm, 27 Sep 2016 9,657 posts	0 Liliaicha I'm off to Lisbon for a few days on Monday, and wondered if anyone had any info on good places to run? I'm probably just going to put on on my trainers and head out towards the sea for some sightseeing but if anyone has any suggestions for a nice route/park/lookout point these would be gratefully received

I've only got a couple of short runs planned so looks like I'll just have to play it by ear when I get there - I imagine I'll just be running round the block checking out places for breakfast!
