As a person who lives in Leiria for more than 10 years, I'm glad that you guys enjoyed Leiria! It's a very nice city to visit!
Thank you so much. We really did enjoy our visit to Leiria and wished we had had longer there. Mandy returned on another day and filmed more so look out for another Leiria video soon. Thanks for watching 🙏👍 ~ Lee
Yeah love that acient music on it❤
Obrigado 🙏
Been there not a month ago. Loved it and very few tourists.
So glad for you that you made it there. It is a lovely, underestimated city indeed. 👍 ~ Lee
Thank you so much, it’s beautiful ❤️ Portugal and the people.
Certainly the food is amazing and a great complement to the country.❤️
Thank you 🙏 We love Leiria and the silver coast in general. We spent so much time in the region and will return for further house sits so will be making more videos here. ❤️🇵🇹
I love your enthusiasm, both of you. You make traveling so much fun. I love it when I find deals and turn out to be great deals…
Thank you so much. We do get rather excited to discover a new place. There's always something new to find around the next corner. It's a pleasure to share it with you. Thanks for watching 🙏👍 ~ Lee
Good video of my home town 👍
We had such a great time in Leiria - the castle is wonderful, as are the many excellent value midday meal options! 😃😋 Thank you for your comment, Paulo! We're so pleased you enjoyed this video of your lovely home town! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers , I’m a fan of your channel.
You should visit São Pedro de Moel beach.
Keep up the good 👌 work and good travels 👍
Thank you for taking us along the beautiful city of Leiria! Greetings from Belgium
Thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed it as much as we did. Great city! Greetings 🇧🇪 from 🇵🇹. 😊 ~ Lee
another great video, thank you guys, another castle to add to our bucket list, keep the great work!!!
Thanks so much. Portugal really does have some amazing castles. We never thought we'd see so many when we first came here. Next will be the Knights Templar stronghold at Tomar. 😁. Keep an eye out for that video! Cheers 👍~ Lee
What a frugal day - free funicular and then only €2.50 for the castle - that's my kind of day! A well deserved 7000 subscribers - won't be long before it's up to 10,000!! Enjoyed the video as usual, looking forward to seeing more of your adventures :-) Andrew.
Thank you Andrew. It was a perfect frugal day out. Once again Portugal delivers in great places to visit for amazing value for money. We're still on the move and there will be more to come. Keep on frugalling! 😁~ Lee
❤ loved this video. I remember seeing the castle on our bus to Nazare last year. I want to take my neice to a castle and I think this is it! Thank you.
It is a really interesting castle to visit not too far from you. If you go in the summer months you'll get to see the free falconry show which is great. 👍
23 de abril de 2024. O castelo de Leiria é um local digno de ser visitado como este casal do video, até a festinha ao gato fez-me sorrir e continuação de outros videos com o mesmo entusiasmo! Obrigada
Muito obrigado. 🙏 Este castelo é muito impressionante. Outro lugar incrível para visitar em Portugal. ❤️🇵🇹
Thx Lee & Mandy for showing us the castle that we’ve been told by Victor, our driver, to visit. He also spoke about the churches you pointed out. I agree that there is more to see there than one would think. Your videography is excellent.
Thank you so much for the kind comment Sandy. It's thanks to you guys we ended up seeing Leiria. Agreed it is a very interesting place to visit and worth a day trip or two. Portugal keeps delivering plenty of surprises and we feel so lucky to be here. 😍 ~ Lee
Hey guys ❤ wellcome to Leiria, im from Vieira de Leiria 😊
That's so lovely, Paulo! We really like Leiria, and actually made 2 more videos about this fascinating city:

Wowow I would never havre thought it was such an amazing place thnx sooo much for sharing
Thank you. We thought the same about Leiria. Wasn't expecting much and were pleasantly surprised. That's the beauty of travel. You normally never get what you are expecting. 😁. Thanks for watching 🙏 ~ Lee
Nice visit! Mandy, loving your orange sweater!! Continued grand adventures...I mean brilliant!!! Take care
Thank you for your lovely comment, Tamara! I absolutely love my orange cardigan... best €1 I ever spent. The market in Cascais is absolutely brilliant... I went to one in Leiria at a later date, and it also looked interesting! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Thank you for publishing this amazing video about our city!
You are most welcome. We loved our visit to Leiria and are pleased to show its special places. We hope to return. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏😊 ~ Lee
Never have seen guys like you both...one smile lovelier than the other... WOW ... can't concentrate on the city ore anything 🙈.
Greetings from "good" old germany 🌺,
yours,
Petra
Aww... That's so kind of you to say. We did have rather a lot of fun that day. 😁 Leiria was great! Greetings Petra, from good old Portugal 😍
@@FrugalTravellers
My neighbour and girlfriend is from portugal, and she got a property their ... to make a long story short: we want to live their together with my cat and other animal (chicken etc.), and this place is not far from Leiria.
So thanks for your nice presentation and again:
for your wunderful "common" smile.
I feel the love between you.
God (or whatever) continue to bless you.
🌈👋😘
@@petras6017 Thank you so much, that is so lovely! Wishing you all the joy and happiness as well with your future life in beautiful Portugal! ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers
🌈😘
Amazing
It really is a beautiful place 😍
That footage of the castle was brilliant! The medieval music and your eye for the details really gave a feeling of the place.
Thank you so much, Carolina. It is a very atmospheric place and wandering around there with it virtually to ourselves was a really special moment. It felt like we had stepped back in time and wanted to portray that feeling. 😊.
We love discovering these less visited gems where the tourist crowds haven't reached. Happy to share it with you. 😍🏰😍
Congrats on the 7k subs to the team MandyLee. Nice short video, pity you guys were short on time.
Lovely castle and town with nice streetart, but pity that so many grafity-gangs exist in Portugal.
StreetArt is beautiful, but tags ruin everything.
To Mandy.. That 1€ cardigan suits you perfectly! 😊
Thanks Sergio! We enjoyed Leiria a lot and Mandy returned there alone while I was house sitting elsewhere so there's another Leiria video to come. 😁
We love the street art here. The tagging is so prolific we hardly notice it anymore, but yeh, it's everywhere.
That cardy purchase of Mandy's was a very smart one and she's still getting plenty of use out of it. 👍 ~ Lee
Never visited here, but will do hopefully later in the year now. That castle looks amazing and is my kind of price to get it (It'd be about £18 to get in if it was in the UK). Cheers
Having seen the Leiria Castle numerous times from different buses, it was such an amazing experience to visit... and such incredible value at only €2.50! We really enjoyed our time in Leiria - it's a working city with a fair bit to see, and some very good value lunch menus! Let us know what you think of it if you go! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
You got a new sub… great job guys👍
Thanks so much. Welcome to our channel. 🙏😊
Thats the city of the great D Dinis
So brilliant! ❤️🇵🇹
I live in Danmark, i would love to invite you to my home town 😊
After travelling through Leiria numerous times, it was wonderful to explore this interesting city & to finally go up to that stunning castle!
Check out this video for my return visit to Leiria:
ua-cam.com/video/Yp2d9k1BL2c/v-deo.html
Awesome video! I was born and raised there. Thanks for the great video!
Greetings from Sacramento, California.👍😎😃
Hello Pedro. It was a real pleasure to explore your birth city. We loved its charm and the castle is incredible. Friendly people as well made it all the more welcoming. We're so pleased you are watching all the way from California. Thank you. 🙏. There will be plenty more coming of other places in Portugal. We are currently in Tomar and loving it here too. 😁 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers I lived in Tomar too! The capital of Templar Knights 👍😎😃
@@pedroluis758 Excellent! We're really enjoying our time here in Tomar! Do you have any recommendations for us? 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Hi Mandy! I was living in Tomar a long time ago, but I can send this link with the 5 good attractions to visit in Tomar!
I hope you enjoy your stay!

By the way, Where are you from?
Great video guys, glad weather was not too bad for you. Love the orange jumper Mandy, looks great. (It's the one from market in Cascais right?) Lunch looked amazing, still great prices, but no wine??
Hey do you still have to wear masks in Portugal or your choice?
Well done, you guys cover so much even in a day trip.
Hello Cindy! It's always so wonderful to hear from you. I still credit you with setting us on the road to Nazaré, six months before the HBO series came out. We didn't have great luck with the weather in Leiria in March... there were grey skies every time we went there.
I'm so pleased I had my orange cardigan with me, the beautiful €1 cardie from the Cascais market that Lee had to talk me into buying, and which I now love. I also love the fact you remembered where I bought it!
This was a very rare lunch where we both opted for a non-alcoholic bebida as I had a doctor's appointment, and we wanted clear heads in case we needed to use Google Translate... otherwise we'd have had wine for sure!
The mask regulations have changed in Portugal, and are only necessary in a few places, including on public transport. We've been hidden away at Praia d'el Rey for a few weeks so aren't sure what things are like in the real world, but are heading to Tomar on Monday to stay in a hostel, so will soon find out!
As always, thank you so much for your wonderful comment and your kind words, Cindy. Your support and positivity is always so lovely to hear! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
What time of year is that? Is it often rainy?
I think it was January if I remember correctly. The weather can be mixed in the winter. You get rainy days and sunny days. We seemed a bit unlucky as it rained on our first two visits to Leiria but the third time it was sunny. 😊
The city looks quite empty. Nothing going on, shops closed? Also from where is it best to visit? Lisbon?
It was quiet on that day. Yes we did notice quite a few shops closed down in the centre which is always sad. We visited from Nazaré but you could get there from Lisbon in a few hours.
Go there in the weekends, Friday or Saturday nights. During the day people are working and students at school.
I know Mandy loves toilets but I reckon lee should show some awesome Victorian urinals. They’re some great ones. Probably uk but they could potentially stretch to Europe. Weird request but I’m sometimes in awe of awesome Victorian urinals. 🤷♂️
Hi Ryan. Great idea! I do like a good Armitage Shanks or a Royal Doultan. Seen some amazing ones in pub toilets over the years. There could be an entire UA-cam niche in this. 😂. I'm just a bit nervous of hanging around the gents with my camera out. 😬 ~ Lee
Haha Leiria is Portugal's own purgatory, but glad you liked it
Haha.. Really? We didn't see much wrong other than the usual graffiti and some run down buildings. It had a certain charm. 😊
and what hole are you from?
@@FrugalTravellers It's not that there anything wrong with it, it's just that there isn't enough right going on it either, but this mostly affects people that live here, services, entertainment, healthcare and so on...
@@ruirodrigues8103 Leiria has some charm, and now a lot of good work has been done regarding its "looks", the availability of "experiences", a lot of improvement in (some kinds of) culture and sports. But maybe it has to many "events" and this marketing intense approach to all of that.
At the same time, there are some real problems with services, economic development, etc., specially in the freguesias.
Just my opinion.
@@eduardoserrao7372 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences as someone who lives in Leiria. We only went a few times for day trips so just saw a tiny slice of life there.
I really liked the buildings, loved the castle, and was so pleased to find some great value menus dos dias (???) after the more expensive ones in Nazaré.
We really appreciate hearing different opinions and the experiences of locals, so thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🙏😁 ~ Mandy
