A few pointers: In Portuguese the river is called Tejo. If you do want to ride on the 28 tram avoid peak hours or you will likely find out how sardines feel inside the can. In August so many locals go away on holidays that the city can feel a bit deserted so its ideal to go around and enjoy it with a bit more sense of freedom. Granted all the versions are good, there are plenty of places that produce pastéis de nata that are better than the pastéis de Belém. You won’t get the same feeling of history and tradition but it might well compensate on the taste buds. Your choice, either way you can’t go wrong. Have them sprinkled with cinnamon and an expresso and you get to experience one of the very affordable ways the locals have to spoil themselves with a small, not so guilty pleasure as contrary to the popular belief they are not very high in calories for a pastry. Tipping isn’t a common thing amongst the locals, certainly not “mandatory” like you would see in the US. It’s up to you to tip someone who serves you, perhaps in the more touristy areas it’s becoming more common due to the tourists themselves. You might see Portuguese people tipping them, it does happen, but that shouldn’t mean you get a less quality service if you don’t. Having said that, the waiters don’t get paid a huge amount so they will welcome tips if you hand it to them. What people should realize is that there is a lot to see in Lisbon, so try to spend at least 5 days, ideally 2 weeks to really get immersed in the local vibe. Or just visit the city several times and visit different places. It can be limiting if you are traveling with children that attend school as the holiday period is confined to the high season, but Lisbon has different feels to it according to the seasons. Spring and autumn are also great times for visiting, especially for Brits who are not accustomed with a lot of heat, it’s a good choice. Food wise, I would say stick to the traditional Portuguese dishes, the cuisine is so diverse that you will likely find several options that fit your palate. During the colder months you have plenty of options that can be classed as soul food. It’s literally love on a plate. Overall a very nice video, it was a good take on the subjects you’ve approached. One cannot expect more from a short visit. As a final thought, there is more to Portugal than Lisbon and the Algarve, so having a chat with Portuguese people to get some pointers over hidden gems might prove fruitful. From north to south including the Madeira and Azores archipelagos it’s an amazing country to visit and live in. Overall safe and laidback, the atmosphere is welcoming. For the most part all you need to watch out for are pickpockets as you would in any touristy area anywhere in the world. Just use common sense and you should have a great time.
Holiday Extras Travel Guides they have the largest freshwater tank in the world (according to a little plaque in the aquarium). The main salt water tank is in the middle of the building and is several stories tall. It’s large enough that the tank has several “zones” with different fish in it, so each vantage point looks unique even though you are still looking at the same tank. Part of what made the experience so interesting for me is it was my first time seeing a living sunfish. I have read about them and seen them on TV, but never in life! Then when you look at the different zones, you can see the sunfish swimming off in the distance in the open water section of the tank. It was really incredible!
I think it'd be ok to have a brazilian teach you portuguese(native) if you were a brazilian traveller learning Lisbon stuff from another brazilian but since you are in portugal i guess it only makes sense to have a local teach you how they roll.
Gorgeous face, very beautiful, "Sunshine" smile, and a delightful voice. Brilliant presentation, all in a perfect balance. One of the best presentations of the city I love so much I have seen. My heartfelt thanx !!!
Well, I am from Lisbon and I just wanted to correct two things: No, it's not custom to tip 10% at all (actually I've never heard that before, this is not the US) and on the language part you should have mencioned that you were talking with a guy speaking brazilian portuguese, not portuguese from portugal. Even thought it is the same language the difference is huge. Apart from that I really liked the video, thanks for showing my city
Hey: most people here is trying to help. Personally, i'm tired of people getting here with the wrong expectations. Don't take it as an offense. Take it as constructive comments! :) (and I do hope you guys read our comments. They're also honest and sincere.)
@@ZEROZERO-xx3qm Not the same. My brazilian friends have no idea what I say when I speak in my portuguese dialect. So there. Same language - cant understand each other 70% of the time. *facepalm* To communicate with them I use THEIR dialect, their words, their everything. With my portuguese friends I use mine.
@@ZEROZERO-xx3qm perhaps you aren't in Portugal but Portuguese from Portugal (PT-PT) it's not the same as Portuguese from Brazil (PT-BR). Unless you are a Brazilian trying to make money in Portugal, because it is not the same, as English from the USA is not 100% the same (accent and expressions) as on Scotland or Irland or England. As the German in Switzerland is not 100% the same as in Germany. Not to offend, and Brazilians can teach Portuguese from Portugal IF THEY USE the Portuguese accent and expressions. Not to teach Portuguese in Portugal as if it was in Brazil... "cómo si cháma você " (vocally, as the Brazilian has said) is not as a Portuguese would have said it "como é que você se chama?".
Also the aspect that you are aiding to the profits of a company that doesn't give much back to its host country - e.g. in the form of taxes. Supporting local businesses is important.
Could not agree more! Americans don't know any better because their country is overrun by Starbucks but as she is from the U.K she should know better, these days there are great coffee shops in the U.K. unlike years ago when it was terrible.
Exactly of course people will understand you but will wonder why you talking Brazilian Portuguese to them. Also I don't get why people don't teach the mannerisms of Portuguese like we tend to say "tchau" much more than "adeus"
Firstly, there is no such thing as "portuguese portuguese". You could say "european portuguese", but I think whether you´re in Angola, Brasil or Portugal, we just say we speak portuguese, and that´s it. No need to complicate things with irrelevant regional specificities, for which foreigners don´t care. This animosity towards our brazilian brothers is, quite frankly, idiotic. Get over it! We are stronger together!
Great video. As for costs, keep in mind that this was filmed in a high-tourist area. You can rent a 2 bedroom apt for 300 Euros, by the sea... outside Lisboa. Once you get to know the city and country, you'll find the affordable places to stay and eat WELL!
Well I am a Portuguese woman travelling around the World and I must confess from my heart and soul Portugal is one of most kind of a Country you all from Europe and even from another Countries can't deny: we are a very friendly people and couriously the mostly secure Country in all world.

@@fl5192 its not jealousy, its two different ways of speaking portuguese. Different ways of saying things, sentence construction, words with diffrent meanings ...

Nice video! Anyway, learning Portuguese won't fit to 48hr visit. I'd suggest learning somebasics beforehand :) And a HUGE THANK YOU for leaving the "point name" thoughout the topic related clip ( not, for instance, leaving it only for 1 second and then one forgets what it is and has to rewind to remember what it is and how it is called etc.) Make more videos like that! Good luck!
Thanks for the tip Juri! It's always a good idea to learn some basic phrases before traveling to a new place :) we're glad you enjoyed the video! Have you got any plans to visit Lisbon?
Actually I have just eaten two Nata cakes you've talked about in the video :) and leaving Portugal tomorrow, been for a week here. Lisbon is great! I and my partner were visiting Oceanarium there (it was one of the main goals of our visit)! But predominantly I was staying in Sesimbra and its beaches. This place also has its own traditional cake called Farinha Torrada (dry cake with dark chocolate), and the best beach I've ever been to - Ribeira de Cavalo Beach. Check this place out and maybe it'll inspire you for another video ;)
Yes... like England's English, and South Africa's English... Lol! Brasilian Vs Portuguese Como vai você? Vs Como está? Como você se chama? Vs Como se chama? Thank God she just asked him to count to five! If she asked him to count to six, he would answer "meia" instead of "seis"... Nothing against the brasilians but... it's Lisbon, not Rio de Janeiro.
Travel tip from an experienced traveler. Subways are almost always the cheapest and the fastest route from airport to city since they don't stop at traffic lights. Also uncomplicated.
Not yet, but since I'm planing a Europe-Tour in September, I'm gonna be sure to check them out :D Do you know anything/one in particular I should look for in the following cities? :) London Amsterdam Paris Lissabon Barcelona Milan Venice Prag Very grateful for tips/tricks or connections :D
Nice video. The only thing that was just wrong, was getting Portuguese lessons from a Brazilian in Lisbon. Imagine the opposite way, a Portuguese girl in London doing a video taking lessons from an American, and telling everyone back home that the English say "trash", "highway" and "iogurt". Nevertheless, apart from that, good video.
Cute video, but so many mistakes! Beef croquettes are NOT the most popular, that would be the cod fish ones by far! Brazilian guy trying to teach Portuguese, is like getting someone from Alabama to teach the queen’s english! What she did get right is that Pasteis de Belem are THE BEST, and taking a taxi from the airport is actually not all that expensive, especially if you’re traveling with at least one other person.
Tourists who have no clue about Portugal go to either Lisbon or Algarve. That is the first mistake. Research a bit and you will find hundreds if not thousands WAY BETTER places than those two. Like Évora for example. Places way cheaper....with much better food..less to none tourist ripoff. Portugal is not only Lisbon :p just saying this because our country has so much to offer beyond Lisbon.
There are so many beautiful areas around Lisboa. You don’t have to go all the way to the Algarve or all the way to Porto either :) Thanks again for a great video!
Good guide for the first time visitor in Lisbon. The only major problem with it is picking a Brazilian Portuguese teacher to teach the Portuguese language. As similar as some might claim it to be, it's actually quite different on many levels. Nice work otherwise.
Dont go to Portugal to learn the language from a Brazilian person. As much as we share the language, it is very different indeed. Also NO we dont do the tipping thing ... dont come here tipping like crazy and make things harder for us later ... You are never obliged to do it and if you do, it's just to show yr appreciation, there is no 10% rule ...
I do visit Lisbon every year and I'm already learning Portuguese so that I can retire there haha Great video btw! Also like Porto, I feel like Porto has more an Amsterdam vibe and the Azores, Madeira and Algarve are beautiful too!
Learn portuguese next time from a local and not a Brazilian :) It's notthe same. You can have Starbucks but it's not a Portuguese thing and for 0.70 you'll have a better coffee...
Holiday Extras Travel Guides no i have not!I am a bit of a travel dummy,so your video was very helpful!Travel is a new interest!I want to go to Portugal ,Florence and Belarus!
Buen video , lamentable la última parte , ese " traductor " utiliza el brasileiro y no el portugues , comete errores graves en su traducción. Obrigado pelo video , bom trabalho !
The guy at the end is not even a Brazilian teaching Portuguese: he's OBVIOUSLY a non-native speaker of Portuguese that learned Portuguese in Brazil/from Brazilians. VERY poor choice...
Learning Portuguese in PORTUGAL with a Brazilian??????????????????? TOTALLY WRONG! WRONG TRANSLATIONS! Omg, what has my country got to! My heart is totally broken.
Disorganized, yes, it was a medieval city, with narrow streets. Ugly by no means. We lost a lot in the big earthquake. Lisbon back them put to shame London or Paris. We lost the gigantic Ribeira Palace with the truly spectacular opera do Tejo and the bell tower. The Basilica of João V was in construction during the earthquake, it would be a marvel. We also lost the Todos os Santos Hospital with the incredible Manueline Portal and the big Conceição Velha Church. Today the only remaining of this church is the truly outstanding manueline Portal. We lost the Estaus Palace, the São Domingos Convent, the São Jorge Castle and the Tombo Tower, The São Francisco Convent, another Lisbon Marvel, the Carmo Convent, the Rua Nova dos Mercadores with its palaces. Lisbon was a architecture marvel. Remember, nowadays cities like Prague share the same features of the old lost Lisbon and are consider the most beautiful cities.
Cities are visited because of their monuments. Prague or Rome are visited because they retain it's medieval layout, the one that you call a mess are the most visited parts and the most photographed. Prague in the 18 century was also a mess without sewers. Nowadays it retains the medieval layout with all the benefits of a 21st century metropolis. The most beautiful part of Lisbon is its medieval, disorganized neighborhood, Alfama, nowadays with sewers, of course. People loved this stuff, I also love. The same in Prague or Rome, the old narrow, maze like streets with the big buildings is something remarkable. Lisbon was all of this and more. It was the 18 century, of course there were no sewers, the same in Paris or London in that period of time. Imagine Lisbon nowadays with all that Buildings, with all that towers, with all that palaces. The reconstruction was good, but we lost architecture wonders of that time. You cannot compare the nowadays Terreiro do Paço with the 18 century majestic Terreiro do Paço with the imposing palace. It's not the same. Even Castelo de São Jorge today is a mere reconstruction of only the walls, there's no Palace or tower inside. You cannot compare a 18 century city with a 21st century city. What I'm saying is that we lost architesture wonders. If the were still standing Lisbon would be with any doubt one of most incredible city ever. Evem without this marvels, Lisbon is still one of the most beautiful cities...I think you understand what i'm trying to say.
Ok, OK, There are tiles showing Pre-earthquake Lisbon in the tile musuem. It was magnificent. There are also drawings and a 3d reconstruction. Please visit Lisbon story center in Terreiro do Paço, you see why i'm saying that. The Lisbon from King João V was a city to put to shame Vienna, Prague and others. We won the Pombaline Lisbon witch is amazing but we lost AMAZINg stuff has i said previously. My opinion is that we lost more than we gained. Only the lost of the Hospital de todos os Santos in Rossio square is more terrible than the gain of a few blocks of Baixa Pombalina. It was the envy of that time, it was spoken in all Europe, there are Flemish texts speaking of it. The lost of the Opera do Tejo is another catastrophic event. It was the best opera house of its time. Terreiro do Paço was renovated before the earthquake by the King Filipe 2. By the time of King João V it was a huge palace. He headed new features to the palace including a amazing bell tower. Imagine the new Basilica that was under construction during the earthquake. It was build to the image of Saint Peter in Rome. Don't forget during the time of João V, Portugal had the gold from Brasil. Mafra Palace was build during he's reign. Of course these was the spectacular buildings. The poor people lived in bad shape houses without any conditions. That is not amazing. I also don't agree with you. Many medieval layouts are still there in lots of cities, they were not demolished, but have been renovated. Examples: Prague, Krakow, Barcelona (gotic quarter), Cadiz, Paris (montmartre), Lisbon (Alfama), Porto (Ribeira), Rome (Trastevere) vimeo.com/67673625 Glad you recover from your illness :)
@Carlos Saraiva As Luís Marques clearly mentioned, Lisbon was a marvel and a monumental city. It also possessed the most churches in Europe. I suggest you read a history book about Lisbon. I think you are a little bit opinionated with a kind of "know it all attitude", judging by your comments.
Sergio Ramalho Está errado, confundindo a expressão com o verbo. "obrigado" e "obrigada" são as fórmulas de agradecimento usadas respectivamente para masculino e feminino, porquanto significam "estar grato/a" ou "estar agradecido/a". A mulher nunca deve dizer "obrigado", pois, no caso, não está obrigada a nada, mas sim grata/agradecida.
Flying out out of London is way cheaper than she mentioned, using Ryanair / EasyJet. That would come to around £120 for a return ticket. Hotels can be pricey indeed, but restaurants are quite cheap if you don't head to the tourist areas. Regarding the tipping.. I've never heard of that in Portugal nor in Europe either. Pasteis de Nata (or Pasteis de Belem) are heavenly good. As mentioned by many, she's getting language tips from a Brazilian guy, while that's no big deal, he's isn't quite correct. As for many of you guys who planned to discover the country, don't limit yourself just to Lisbon, maybe fly-in to Porto, which is located on the north of the country. Rend a car, drive down to Lisbon, and then drive down to the Algarve. Fly-out from Faro's Airport. Good video BTW. (Out of Topic, she's quite a cutie)
A few pointers: In Portuguese the river is called Tejo. If you do want to ride on the 28 tram avoid peak hours or you will likely find out how sardines feel inside the can. In August so many locals go away on holidays that the city can feel a bit deserted so its ideal to go around and enjoy it with a bit more sense of freedom. Granted all the versions are good, there are plenty of places that produce pastéis de nata that are better than the pastéis de Belém. You won’t get the same feeling of history and tradition but it might well compensate on the taste buds. Your choice, either way you can’t go wrong. Have them sprinkled with cinnamon and an expresso and you get to experience one of the very affordable ways the locals have to spoil themselves with a small, not so guilty pleasure as contrary to the popular belief they are not very high in calories for a pastry.
Tipping isn’t a common thing amongst the locals, certainly not “mandatory” like you would see in the US. It’s up to you to tip someone who serves you, perhaps in the more touristy areas it’s becoming more common due to the tourists themselves. You might see Portuguese people tipping them, it does happen, but that shouldn’t mean you get a less quality service if you don’t. Having said that, the waiters don’t get paid a huge amount so they will welcome tips if you hand it to them.
What people should realize is that there is a lot to see in Lisbon, so try to spend at least 5 days, ideally 2 weeks to really get immersed in the local vibe. Or just visit the city several times and visit different places. It can be limiting if you are traveling with children that attend school as the holiday period is confined to the high season, but Lisbon has different feels to it according to the seasons. Spring and autumn are also great times for visiting, especially for Brits who are not accustomed with a lot of heat, it’s a good choice. Food wise, I would say stick to the traditional Portuguese dishes, the cuisine is so diverse that you will likely find several options that fit your palate. During the colder months you have plenty of options that can be classed as soul food. It’s literally love on a plate.
Overall a very nice video, it was a good take on the subjects you’ve approached. One cannot expect more from a short visit. As a final thought, there is more to Portugal than Lisbon and the Algarve, so having a chat with Portuguese people to get some pointers over hidden gems might prove fruitful. From north to south including the Madeira and Azores archipelagos it’s an amazing country to visit and live in. Overall safe and laidback, the atmosphere is welcoming. For the most part all you need to watch out for are pickpockets as you would in any touristy area anywhere in the world. Just use common sense and you should have a great time.

I understand in both forms, nothing wrong in both.
I TOTTALY AGREE
Great job love the videos.
Thanks Raynel, what's your favourite Holiday Extras Travel Guide?
Never been to Lisbon so here I come ....... 🍻 🍮🍸🍾
That's as good a reason as any. :) If you liked this video, check out the rest of our Portugal content. > ua-cam.com/video/hqLtFYz6wHQ/v-deo.html
You're loosing a lot of your life ;)
Portugal is not only Lisbon so much more to see and visit, don't forget that...
Absolutely, we loved the Algarve - ua-cam.com/video/cD3RQWnyoxo/v-deo.html. We'd love to get over to Porto to make a video there too.
very informative video! thank you!
Hi,Thank you so much for your video
You're totally welcome Jahid- we're glad you enjoyed it :)
World Traveller, GREAT video, excited for first trip to Lisbon in Oct. May I say you are a prettier version of Kate(THEE Kate) :-) Good luck!
I will also go in October
Travel tip from an experienced traveler. Subways are almost always the cheapest and the fastest route from airport to city since they don't stop at traffic lights. Also uncomplicated.
Great visuals and thanks for all the tips :)
You're very welcome Summer! Have you seen our other travel videos?
Not yet, but since I'm planing a Europe-Tour in September, I'm gonna be sure to check them out :D Do you know anything/one in particular I should look for in the following cities? :)
London
Amsterdam
Paris
Lissabon
Barcelona
Milan
Venice
Prag
Very grateful for tips/tricks or connections :D
God bless Portugal.. and the Portuguese sailors who discovered the sea route
Nice video. The only thing that was just wrong, was getting Portuguese lessons from a Brazilian in Lisbon. Imagine the opposite way, a Portuguese girl in London doing a video taking lessons from an American, and telling everyone back home that the English say "trash", "highway" and "iogurt". Nevertheless, apart from that, good video.
Very narrow-minded individual you are; plus, if you are referring to the guy teaching words and phrases to her, that is real portuguese, dummy!
Amazing video. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Well made video with useful tips 👍
We're glad you enjoyed! Have you ever been to Lisbon? 🇵🇹
This very helpful. Thank you!!!
You're welcome, Rangelico! 😀 Are you visiting Lisbon soon?
Cute video, but so many mistakes! Beef croquettes are NOT the most popular, that would be the cod fish ones by far! Brazilian guy trying to teach Portuguese, is like getting someone from Alabama to teach the queen’s english! What she did get right is that Pasteis de Belem are THE BEST, and taking a taxi from the airport is actually not all that expensive, especially if you’re traveling with at least one other person.
Thanks so much for the tips Matthew! Sounds like we need to go back to rectify these mistakes 🙈
Matthew Amaral I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
Have you gone to "manteigaria" in camoes plaza, they give the "Belém" ones a Run for their money
But are you obliged to learn the "queen´s english" anyway?!
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides Do not go to Portugal and ask tips from a Brazilian. That's basic. If you go to a country learn from a local.
May I know what brand of the leather flapover backpack you used? Thanks!
You may have saved my life. I am going to Lisbon in around 40 hours
We're more than happy to have helped! Hope you have a wonderful trip and do let us know your recommendations for our next visit!
Tourists who have no clue about Portugal go to either Lisbon or Algarve. That is the first mistake. Research a bit and you will find hundreds if not thousands WAY BETTER places than those two. Like Évora for example. Places way cheaper....with much better food..less to none tourist ripoff. Portugal is not only Lisbon :p just saying this because our country has so much to offer beyond Lisbon.
Thank you for the video 😄
Very informative 👍
Loved your video ! Can you tell me where you purchased your back pack ?
Probably the best travel guide video I've watched!
Thanks Taylor! Have you checked out our other travel content?
Love his great English explanation of this wonderful pastry
Love the video but there was something strange. Why did you have to try to learn Portuguese with a foreigner?
Very nice video !!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your great tips about Lisbon, it's a great place to visit.
There are so many beautiful areas around Lisboa. You don’t have to go all the way to the Algarve or all the way to Porto either :)
Thanks again for a great video!
You're so welcome Jen, thank you for your kind words! 😁We couldn't agree more, we had a wonderful time here.
Good guide for the first time visitor in Lisbon. The only major problem with it is picking a Brazilian Portuguese teacher to teach the Portuguese language. As similar as some might claim it to be, it's actually quite different on many levels. Nice work otherwise.
PORQUÊ????????
5:40 No. 28 and 15 trams
9:30 Food
11:00 Walking tour
Dont go to Portugal to learn the language from a Brazilian person. As much as we share the language, it is very different indeed. Also NO we dont do the tipping thing ... dont come here tipping like crazy and make things harder for us later ... You are never obliged to do it and if you do, it's just to show yr appreciation, there is no 10% rule ...
Lovely Lisbon!
We had such a marvellous time there! 😍 Have you visited it yourself?
I do visit Lisbon every year and I'm already learning Portuguese so that I can retire there haha Great video btw! Also like Porto, I feel like Porto has more an Amsterdam vibe and the Azores, Madeira and Algarve are beautiful too!
Thank you so much for this travel guide! Can't wait to visit Lisbon!
Just subscribed to your channel😊
Thanks Laura, you're the best! When are you visiting Lisbon?
Holiday Extras Travel Guides In 3 weeks!
Learn portuguese next time from a local and not a Brazilian :) It's notthe same. You can have Starbucks but it's not a Portuguese thing and for 0.70 you'll have a better coffee...
i am really agree! um bom café não tem comparação.....
Yess.. Thank You for sharing, i'll be there in a few days!
Have an amazing time! Let us know your favourite things to check out?!
this is such a good video and it really helped!!
nice guide
Such a great video. I loved how you told us how to get there and portugese phrases! Very helpfull! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😁Have you visited Lisbon before?
No. I'm planning a trip this upcoming October to visit Portugal for 10 days
I’m heading to Lisbon this week! This video was super helpful
Cheers Tyler! We're glad you found it helpful and we hope you have an amazing time in beautiful Lisbon 🇵🇹
Tyler: How did you like Lisbon? I'm researching it to go next summer. Thanks in advance.
This Is Portugal!
Very nice Video. Love the footage and editing. Let's keep in touch
Learning Portuguese from a Brazilian in Portugal! It’s like someone comes to England and learns English from an American! Not advisable!
Nice video! :-)
Thanks ConnollyCove! Have you visited Lisbon?
On my top list. :-)

Holiday Extras Travel Guides no i have not!I am a bit of a travel dummy,so your video was very helpful!Travel is a new interest!I want to go to Portugal ,Florence and Belarus!
So beautiful video
Thank you :)
Don’t drink Starbucks in Portugal,
Instead go to a local coffee shop and drink coffee like a local (and much cheaper too)
Buen video , lamentable la última parte , ese " traductor " utiliza el brasileiro y no el portugues , comete errores graves en su traducción. Obrigado pelo video , bom trabalho !
The guy at the end is not even a Brazilian teaching Portuguese: he's OBVIOUSLY a non-native speaker of Portuguese that learned Portuguese in Brazil/from Brazilians. VERY poor choice...
SUPER...............OBRIGADA...........
Learning Portuguese in PORTUGAL with a Brazilian??????????????????? TOTALLY WRONG! WRONG TRANSLATIONS!
Omg, what has my country got to!
My heart is totally broken.
100% de acordo. Uma autêntica vergonha
Podes crer!!!
bem, não exageremos, ainda dava para perceber que era português... com um jeitinho brasileiro
Mais tu sabe que eles falam nossa lingua muito bem, cara. Hahah.
O choro é livre
Obrigada!!!
Imagine what would have been Lisbon before the earthquake, the capital of 1st global empire...
Disorganized, yes, it was a medieval city, with narrow streets. Ugly by no means. We lost a lot in the big earthquake. Lisbon back them put to shame London or Paris. We lost the gigantic Ribeira Palace with the truly spectacular opera do Tejo and the bell tower. The Basilica of João V was in construction during the earthquake, it would be a marvel. We also lost the Todos os Santos Hospital with the incredible Manueline Portal and the big Conceição Velha Church. Today the only remaining of this church is the truly outstanding manueline Portal. We lost the Estaus Palace, the São Domingos Convent, the São Jorge Castle and the Tombo Tower, The São Francisco Convent, another Lisbon Marvel, the Carmo Convent, the Rua Nova dos Mercadores with its palaces. Lisbon was a architecture marvel. Remember, nowadays cities like Prague share the same features of the old lost Lisbon and are consider the most beautiful cities.
Cities are visited because of their monuments. Prague or Rome are visited because they retain it's medieval layout, the one that you call a mess are the most visited parts and the most photographed. Prague in the 18 century was also a mess without sewers. Nowadays it retains the medieval layout with all the benefits of a 21st century metropolis. The most beautiful part of Lisbon is its medieval, disorganized neighborhood, Alfama, nowadays with sewers, of course. People loved this stuff, I also love. The same in Prague or Rome, the old narrow, maze like streets with the big buildings is something remarkable. Lisbon was all of this and more. It was the 18 century, of course there were no sewers, the same in Paris or London in that period of time. Imagine Lisbon nowadays with all that Buildings, with all that towers, with all that palaces. The reconstruction was good, but we lost architecture wonders of that time. You cannot compare the nowadays Terreiro do Paço with the 18 century majestic Terreiro do Paço with the imposing palace. It's not the same. Even Castelo de São Jorge today is a mere reconstruction of only the walls, there's no Palace or tower inside.
You cannot compare a 18 century city with a 21st century city. What I'm saying is that we lost architesture wonders. If the were still standing Lisbon would be with any doubt one of most incredible city ever. Evem without this marvels, Lisbon is still one of the most beautiful cities...I think you understand what i'm trying to say.
Ok, OK, There are tiles showing Pre-earthquake Lisbon in the tile musuem. It was magnificent. There are also drawings and a 3d reconstruction. Please visit Lisbon story center in Terreiro do Paço, you see why i'm saying that. The Lisbon from King João V was a city to put to shame Vienna, Prague and others. We won the Pombaline Lisbon witch is amazing but we lost AMAZINg stuff has i said previously. My opinion is that we lost more than we gained. Only the lost of the Hospital de todos os Santos in Rossio square is more terrible than the gain of a few blocks of Baixa Pombalina. It was the envy of that time, it was spoken in all Europe, there are Flemish texts speaking of it. The lost of the Opera do Tejo is another catastrophic event. It was the best opera house of its time. Terreiro do Paço was renovated before the earthquake by the King Filipe 2. By the time of King João V it was a huge palace. He headed new features to the palace including a amazing bell tower. Imagine the new Basilica that was under construction during the earthquake. It was build to the image of Saint Peter in Rome. Don't forget during the time of João V, Portugal had the gold from Brasil. Mafra Palace was build during he's reign. Of course these was the spectacular buildings. The poor people lived in bad shape houses without any conditions. That is not amazing. I also don't agree with you. Many medieval layouts are still there in lots of cities, they were not demolished, but have been renovated. Examples: Prague, Krakow, Barcelona (gotic quarter), Cadiz, Paris (montmartre), Lisbon (Alfama), Porto (Ribeira), Rome (Trastevere)

Glad you recover from your illness :)
@Carlos Saraiva You are silly. During Dom João V's reign, Lisbon was regarded as a very beautiful city.
@Carlos Saraiva As Luís Marques clearly mentioned, Lisbon was a marvel and a monumental city. It also possessed the most churches in Europe. I suggest you read a history book about Lisbon. I think you are a little bit opinionated with a kind of "know it all attitude", judging by your comments.
Nicely done! Fun to watch video. 😊 Thank you. Mohammed
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed 😀Have you ever been to Lisbon? 😍
Obrigado é para ambos! Obrigada vem de obrigar, não se usa, muito menos na hora de agradecer.
Sergio Ramalho Está errado, confundindo a expressão com o verbo. "obrigado" e "obrigada" são as fórmulas de agradecimento usadas respectivamente para masculino e feminino, porquanto significam "estar grato/a" ou "estar agradecido/a". A mulher nunca deve dizer "obrigado", pois, no caso, não está obrigada a nada, mas sim grata/agradecida.
great video, very specific
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed 🇵🇹Where's your favourite place to visit in the world? 😍
Very nice vedio my dear sister.
Thanks :)
eu em Portugal quero e ir a Portugal quero e ir morar lá e um bom país tudo de bom lá amei
wow...Very crazy to see Lisbon.
Beautiful!!!
We thought the city was very beautiful too! 😍Have you visited Lisbon?
Flying out out of London is way cheaper than she mentioned, using Ryanair / EasyJet. That would come to around £120 for a return ticket. Hotels can be pricey indeed, but restaurants are quite cheap if you don't head to the tourist areas. Regarding the tipping.. I've never heard of that in Portugal nor in Europe either. Pasteis de Nata (or Pasteis de Belem) are heavenly good.
As mentioned by many, she's getting language tips from a Brazilian guy, while that's no big deal, he's isn't quite correct.
As for many of you guys who planned to discover the country, don't limit yourself just to Lisbon, maybe fly-in to Porto, which is located on the north of the country. Rend a car, drive down to Lisbon, and then drive down to the Algarve. Fly-out from Faro's Airport.
Good video BTW. (Out of Topic, she's quite a cutie)
Thanks Sergio! Some great tips, we'll bear them in mind if we ever head back to this beautiful city 😍
very good informative video with prices, tips and cool places, The girl is beautiful and nice!THANK YOU
Many thanks! 😘 Have you visited Lisbon?
