I have the opportunity of purchasing a UK registered car which was previously registered in Portugal from new. Can anyone advise me if the re-registration of this car back to its original plates in Portugal is possible and would I be liable for any tax/import duty, even though this (Tax) was already paid when the car was first purchased in Portugal.

Where can I find the times for the airport bus?

We plan on doing some sightseeing in the old area of Alfama. How easy will it be to find parking there? Are we better off taking a bus or even Metro?
