Hello!
I'll be out of town when you're visiting so I can't guide you, but you don't really need a guide. Lisbon is a nice, friendly, easy sort of place to explore.
Just get a book if you want (time out guide to Lisbon is probably the best - avoid the lonely planet, it's for kids), then just go downtown and let the true beauty of the city jump out at you.
Visit the old neighbourhoods - Bairro Alto, Castelo, Graça, Alfama... Take a train ride up the coast to Belem and see all the stuff there, then go further afield on the same train line to Cascais. If you can, try to make it to Sintra, which is up another train line - fab place full of forests and palaces.
Hope you enjoy yourself!

Once you get to lisbon you will have lots of places to buy good guides of the city at a very cheap price

You don't need a tour guide! Print the Lisbon pages of our Portugal travelogues and follow in our footsteps! FREE is good. Lisbon is GREAT!

i used to live in lisbon. best place to start is the castle. work your way down the hill. cross to the chiado. then walk along side the avenida da liberdade all the way to the river....
that's just the start. enjoy,..
