“There is an overall problem with drugs in Portugal (more than 7000 junkies). It is not really dangerous but it is a hard experience to see the dammages caused by them and to live it day-to-day. Some places of Lisbon are better not to live in because of that.” Read Review

FINAL COMMENTS

There is an overall problem with drugs in Portugal (more than 7000 junkies). It is not really dangerous but it is a hard experience to see the dammages caused by them and to live it day-to-day. Some places of Lisbon are better not to live in because of that.
