The streets of Nha Trang are lined with restaurants offering local Vietnamese and international food.

The ibis Lisboa Liberdade is located in the Principe Real neighborhood, a great location to explore Lisbon’s sights and it’s nightlife. It offers a simple, clean room with a comfortable bed in a central location at a reasonable price. The breakfast is very good. The ibis Lisboa Liberdade has a lot of potential, but a lack
Lisbon reminds me a lot of San Francisco and one reason is the great restaurant and bar scene you’ll have in both cities. Lisbon has lots of little neighborhood bars and restaurants with loyal, local followers that offer unique food and drink options, great ambiance and friendly service.
