After my trip to Lisbon, Portugal, I can now understand why so many people are coming to visit this charming city! Let me know what you think of Lisbon down below! 👇🇵🇹
Lisbon is awesome! Great value, amazing squares to chill and have a coffee (and pastel de nata, or course). The walk up to the castle rewards you with amazing views. The only downside, scumbag drug-dealers in the main squares trying to sell you drugs. Avoid them like the plague!
Matt I have been in Lisbon twice and I can say that it is probably my favourite European city, I love it !! The buildings, the views, the lifestyle, etc. Specially the contrast in it (e.g: in the same place you can be hearing the roosters like in a small village but also teenagers skating or doing grafittis hehe). Enjoy, hugs !!
Note about Palacio da Pena: It might seem that it was built by adding different types of construction along the years, but no. It was built like that from the ground up, using many different construction styles that Portugal experienced along it's history. It was a gift project from the king-consort Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg to his wife Queen Maria II... instead of just doing a simple summer house renovation project :) he insisted on having all the influences of Portuguese architecture in one place (sometimes distinguished by color). That is what turns it into a magical place. Cool you have liked Lisbon. Welcome!
Nice lil intro but in one day or in a 15 minute UA-cam it barely scratches the surface; I’ve been living here since last July and I feel like I haven’t even gotten much beyond the surface. As an example there is the gardens and the chapel in Estrella, Gulbenkian Museum of fine arts, Avenida Liberdade, Belem,,the huge Monsanto park, the aquarium, and barrio alto.To name a few.
Loved watching your tour of Lisbon and Pena Palace, as we were there just 3 weeks ago! Took a Tuk Tuk tour of the Alfama and tried some of the cherry liquor there. Hope to return some day to spend more time there and in Porto! Great video!!
Hi Matt, we just watched this video and loved it! We are thinking of spending the winter in Lisbon, so we really enjoyed your tour...especially the ginjinha that you tried. Cheers :)
New subscriber here ⭐ really enjoy your production and editing style. And, of course, the destinations you visit are stunning. Thank you for sharing your content :)
how long were you there for? I am considering a trip to different cities in Portugal and spending a few days in each....end game is to possibly retire there from the US
Parque Edward VII was before named Parque da Liberdade (freedom Park), but because the British King Edward VII comes to Lisbon for an important visit and to confirm the treaty between the British and Portugueses, so decided to change the name from Parque da Lisberdade to Edward VII.
Great Lisbon, Portugal Vlog! Looking forward to visiting Lisbon for Thanksgiving week. I noticed a Christmas tree in one of the scenes. Was your visit during the holidays? Wondering what the weather will be like towards end of November?
Lisbon is very charming because is old. depending where you want to go.My opinion is a very old city a lot of building degraded if not the most building are degraded. I think Portugal needs a New Capital with good info-structures connection to the rest of the Portugal.
I visited Lisbon last week, honestly, it seemed overrated to me. The center is crowded, not very clean and many people were unfriendly and arrogant. Maybe it was just a bad luck. But there sure is some great food, the Belém neighborhood is beautiful and Sintra is definitely worth visiting. You can also manage to see Cabo da Roca and the town of Cascais on a full-day trip.
@@insolitmag5824 Não vás por aí. Tenho família na zona norte do país, e foram dos que me deram maiores desgostos. (Falsos). Mas como não generalizo, sei que há pessoas boas. A maior diferença que se nota, e aí sim, as pessoas do norte são mais abertas à socialização.
Both Porto and Lisbon are great cities! I think there is a little more to do in Lisbon and Lisbon is a little more "picturesque" but Porto felt more authentic Portuguese to me!
Matt, just a heads up, to you and to all future new people that come to Portugal, careful when sometimes pronouncing a word more to the Spanish way. 5:21 you said "Como se dice" which is spanish, you can try to say "como é?" or "como se pronuncia?" or even try to say better "como se diz?". I know our language is kinda hard for some people and we are very friendly with the strangers but some people may not be friendly if they hear strangers using spanish words to talk with a portuguese person. we have the problem of many people saying Portugal is not a country but a "city" of Spain. Our languages have some similar words but most of us don't like how confident people come here to talk with us, speaking in spanish. We are Portugal, talk in portuguese at your best or English, if you want to talk spanish then go to Spain. Come visit Portugal as many times as you want, we open arms to everyone and thank you for visiting the country!
Thanks for sharing this perspective Cláudio, and I agree it's best to speak the local language when traveling! I hope to come back to Portugal soon, and with a few more Portuguese phrases!
Hi! I liked the video but as a portuguese I just got to give you a quick fyi. Dont. Speak. Spanish. In. Portugal. *unless ur spanish of course* Most people understand english at a basic level, and trying to communicate in spanish will just give you a lowkey ignorant personna. These are 2 completely different countries, and even tho their languages can be considered similar, it is way more considerable if you try to memorise a word or two (as you were doing with the obrigado) than speaking in spanish XD
Lisbon lost his Charme...If you would be there like '17 would be totally different. Whoever told you that didnt look on the deep dark side of lisbon...By the way the breakfast was already wrong...
Good to know you made it to Lisboa, my favorite European city as well. But you gave us nothing but the usual hackneyed touristic bits which clearly shows your trip to this beautiful city was just like most Lisboa vlogs - rather superficial! Also, try not to place your physical self always center stage on practically every frame of every shot in your video, too annoyingly narcissistic.
@@andrefrazao5281 culpa o governo?? 🤣🤣🤣 Mas queres um governo que impede o livre mercado (proibindo a especulação imobiliária) ou um que segue o capitalismo? Ou és daqueles burros que qualquer problema em Portugal a culpa é do "comunismo do Costa"? 🤣 Deixa lá eu sei. Deves votar no Chega. #grandeburro

I spent 3 days in Lisbon, but there are lots of good places to visit around the city as well!
definitely visit Porto, Algarve, Braga and Aveiro .

São Pedro de AL CAN TA RA do not accent the 3rd A. Thanks for visiting my neigbhorhood as a child. Bairro Alto. Come back soon.
Your childhood neighborhood is very beautiful, I hope to return again!
I you want to try the best Pastel de Nata, you have to go to Belém, to the Pastéis de Nata, where they make the real ones
Thank you for the recommendation Bruno, I will try it next time!
Tradicionalmente os melhores mas os da manteigaria não ficam atrás.
Great Lisbon, Portugal Vlog! Looking forward to visiting Lisbon for Thanksgiving week. I noticed a Christmas tree in one of the scenes. Was your visit during the holidays? Wondering what the weather will be like towards end of November?
I was in Lisbon in October and I found the weather really pleasant. Enjoy your trip!
@@MattKramerTravels Thank you!
O Parque Eduardo VII , foi feito em homenagem ao rei inglês com o mesmo nome.
O que não faltam são referências à monarquia em lisboa... Uma cidade conservadora parada no tempo
Thank you for sharing this!
The park was named after king Edward the 7th of England. England and Portugal were/are close friends
Thanks for sharing this Keith!
I hope you went north to see Porto. If you didn't, you missed quite an adventure.
I did visit Porto, and I absolutely loved the city too! Thanks Peter!
😊😊😊 will be there soon.
Enjoy your trip!
My friend the biggest park/wood in Lisbon is MONSANTO
Thanks for sharing Paulo!
the best pastel de nata is "pastéis de Belém", in Belém.
I will have to try it next time, thank you!

Arrogant people is normal in Lisbon. Next time come to Porto to meet very nice and friendly people ;)
@@insolitmag5824 You cannot generalize. Bad people are everywhere.
@@CGScarf I agree. Special in lisbon ;)

LISBOA❤️
Such a beautiful place, isn't it!
You came to Porto, Portugal? Then compare!
Both Porto and Lisbon are great cities! I think there is a little more to do in Lisbon and Lisbon is a little more "picturesque" but Porto felt more authentic Portuguese to me!
José - Ele também tem um vídeo sobre o Porto ...
E todas as cidades têm prós e contras !...
How many languages do you speak?
Besides English, I am conversational in 2 other languages!
@@MattKramerTravels you're awesome. Very smart. Keep sharing vlogs.
O Cristiano Ronaldo tem um apartamento bem ao lado do Parque Eduardo VII !... ⚽️ 🏆
I had no idea, thanks for sharing Graca!
I think this'll work as long as natives consider you nice and exotic and not invasive. So don't buy each condo, home and grab each piece of land.

I always try to learn at least a few words when I visit a new country, but thank you for sharing your perspective
Lisboa e' Lisboa o resto e' paisagem !
A grande maioria dos que nos visitam ficam DESLUMBRADOS com a PAISAGEM.
Prefiro a paisagem que Liboa em si.
Lisbon lost his Charme...If you would be there like '17 would be totally different. Whoever told you that didnt look on the deep dark side of lisbon...By the way the breakfast was already wrong...
what do you mean? it hasn't lost any of its charm. lots of people still find it amazing. no wonder so many are moving there.
Ho come on dont said that
Pastel de nata....not pastel de nada ..kkkkkkkkk

Lose the fn mask dude.
The city where no portuguese person can live in his capital because of the tourists. Thank you so much for getting our life worst :)
