“ApeFest Lisbon | Oct 18-20,” the BAYC tweeted along with a Sardine can animation featuring Curtis on a sailboat.

1. What should Apes know about Lisbon before attending ApeFest 2024?
“Lisbon is a vibrant capital, and almost everyone speaks English. Avoid the tourist spots and try the less beaten path; it will not disappoint. An interesting alpha: it's super cheap to take an Uber to Caparica Beach.”
2. What are the must see sites?
“Principe Real, Belém, Castelo São Jorge.”
3. What are some must try restaurants or dishes?
“Ramiro is a must; If you want a local experience with chicken piri-piri the "Valenciana" is a great spot; Foods to try: Caldo Verde (traditional soup); Cod à brás; "Um bitoque", a traditional steak with an egg on top with fries.”
