When in Lisbon, Hostels Top Hotels

If you're a hostelling backpacker, there's a haven for you at the edge of Europe: Lisbon, Portugal.

Lisbon is home to the world's top three hostels, and Lisbon hostels occupy the top spots on Hostelworld.com's rankings of large and small hostels.

Most hostellers will tell you Lisbon offers the best accommodations a backpacker's budget can buy. And they're right. For prices similar to those at lesser European hostels, expect perks like free pub crawls and walking tours and cheap chef prepared dinners, complete with wine.

Why are Lisbon's hostels so great? Tough competition among highly ranked properties, local hostel operators say.

Which brings me to, where in the world is (was) Meena??
