BBC NI have a travel show called "Getaways".

Last week's episode covered Lisbon and it's still viewable on BBC iPlayer, see here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pwd44

You might get a few ideas from it, though I don't know if the beach at Estoril is as big a draw in February.

Hazy memory but you can buy travelcards for the trams which also allow you in a few lifts (yes, really).

The expo centre and aquarium were good - cable car ride too. Make sure you eat Pasteis de nata (custard tarts) and wash it down with port!

yep, expo and aquarium very good, and a ride on the cable cars.
go 1 way on the cable cars, then walk back along the "promenade" plenty of restaraunts and bars on this stretch. normally pop in the irish bar when we are there doing a gig.
my mates run the hells angels clubhouse, if you need anything smile nice bunch smile
