If, like me, you do not know how to swim, do not despair, I found the perfect pool for us!
Curious? Well, the answer is a very simple idea that will become a major idea after you try - please visit Hub New Lisbon and find a ball pit! Yes, like the ones you used to play in when visiting McDonald’s, but much bigger and also for adults.
Hub New Lisbon is located in Lisbon, 200 m from Príncipe Real Garden. It is very easy to find and it is a great spot to go to after a day of sightseeing.
The ball pit is not the only highlight of this hostel: in the interior patio you will find some great sofas and beds for a relaxing break, and the games room includes a foosball table. There is also a terrace for the smokers with an amazing view over the city.The ball pit, however, is the most fun thing that you can do. You just need a pair of socks and energy because after 5 minutes you will be exhausted either because of the force you have to do to keep yourself up or by laughing so much!
Ohhh I almost forgot to say that if you find a rubber duck in the pool you will get a free drink... good luck!
