Facing long interruptions, she's bored of nasty European city (6)

I believe the answer is:

lisbon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european city' is the definition.
(capital of Portugal)

'facing long interruptions she's bored of nasty' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'long' could be 'l' and 'l' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'isbn' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
