I need some help and this would be the best place to ask.

Does anyone know of an English website that has info about the Estadio Da Luz? Are there any beaches in Lisbon? and is there an english website of the Lisbon zoo?

about Estádio da Luz, i think only worldstadiums.com and similars what kind of info you want?

There are plenty of beaches, not properly inside Lisbon but in the suburbs area. Costa da Caparica, Carcavelos, Cascais, etc.

the zoo don't have a official site (at least i didn't found one) but it's a great place to visit.


check this sites for more info:

Well it was almost a hell for the players, the fans screaming and insulting the players, throwing them bottles and water, only watching the images u could see how it was... basically a group of Benfica fans were pissed off because of the defeat and went to the airport to relief all their frustration in the players and in the coach...
