I really enjoyed using the book and doing the walks.

Non-specialist guidebooks like Lonely Planet/Rough Guide don’t give details of any walking routes outside the city, so a book like this is great… (ESS, Amazon)I spent four entire days in and out of Lisbon with this book as my guide during Easter. (HH, Amazon)
