I don't really think that Lisbon per se is a dream city. Lisbon + Cascais/Estoril + Sintra + Costa da Caparica, yes - it's truly an outstanding metro area.

Just for starters: why the hell only in this city most quality shops can only be found in Shopping Centers and one or two additional spots (Chiado, Avenida da Liberdade)?

"Lisbon is considered a dream city; but when it comes to its housing market, many people who live and work here are fighting to survive."
