- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | Lisbon, built with the riches of Portugal's New World discoveries, has a rustic charm. We'll remember great navigators, eat lots of cod, enjoy pastries hot out of the oven, stroll the city's back lanes and its reinvigorated waterfront, marvel at an exquisite church built with spice taxes, and enjoy some soulful fado music. Then we'll side-trip to Sintra to explore the fanciful castles of Portuguese royalty and climb hilltop ramparts with grand views.

I've never been to a place where no one bothered me at all. Lisbon was awesome, I felt free. And at peace.
Ahhhh! Thats what Im talking about. Beautiful European culture.
i love so much lisbon a old beautful european city cheers from kosovo love you portugal 💙💙
No matter what people say Portugal is with no doubt one of the most relaxing and beautiful countries in the world.
Besides the country being small there is so much diversity especially food and sightseeing so beautiful.
Bruno Torres it’s cringe what you said because you are portuguese
It’s like posting a meme on Facebook and then like your own post xD
Well but I guess what you said it’s true
The people is kind 😊
Bruno Torres I am not Portuguese. I am an English speaking Canadian who travels a lot. Your comments are right on. Portugal is one of the most beautiful and sanest places on the planet. With a nick name like lifeislong I might find it difficult that he/she would find good in anything.

You might not know but it means life is happiness and brightness
The post wasn’t like this it was edited
Nos it’s much better
Im Portuguese and I said that what he said it’s true
But the way it was before looked like he was promoting Portugal xD
Don’t need to judge me for my opinion but whatever
@@XmarlonXPT The Chinese say that silence is gold. Keep that in mind.
You're Still The Best Video European Tour Guide On The Planet, Rick!!! Thanks For The Great Tour!!!
why just europe?
@@BT-pi1tk Because Rick doesn't do China, Asia, South America, Africa, Much Of The Middle East, Russia etc.
@@BT-pi1tk .
WHY JUST EUROPE ?
WELL..IF YOU HAVE TO ASK THIS ...SADLY YOU DID NOT STUDY MUCH HISTORY...
@@juliad.6372 I meant that Rick is great in ALL regions he explores with us!
I'm not sure where you're even coming from with the history thing. Your botted internet outrage muscles must be in overdrive to somehow make it that way tho.. LOL
Peace, love, and long live the RICKSTER!
I totally agree. I have enjoyed all of his guides so far and still have many to watch. I appreciate anyone who can pursue a career over many years and still keep to and standard throughout.
Portugal is indeed a European gem. It captivated my heart. Would love to visit again soon
Wow Portugal is so beautiful
Preciosa Lisboa. Saludos desde Barcelona, Espanha
I love ❤️ purtgal from pakistan 🇵🇰 I have been travel lots of time for Lisbon the people of purtgal are very beautiful and very nice long live purtgal
I truly love Portugal. The people are friendly and welcoming. Also love the pastel de Nata and travesseiros ❤ in Casa Piriquita in Sintra. I will be back for more 😊
I am Brazilian and this video brings tear in my eyes looking all architecture that I really admire in my country and makes me realize how Portuguese is the splendor in the best of Brazil that's fading away with time. Looks like in Portugal this memory is still really vivid. Great video!
4:08 Notice the purple trees on the left? Those are Jacaranda trees! You might be familiar with them because they're native to your country, Brazil. They were obviously imported to Lisbon. Jacarandas are gorgeous and exotic because of their brilliant purple flowers: they're very particular about where they grow, so they're rare, but they happen to grow nicely in my home town of Los Gatos in the Bay Area! Thanks Brazil! Thanks Gustavo!
SIMKINETICS They grow in Australia as well. There’s a city in Austrália that is famous because of the Jacaranda trees “imported” from Brazil. There’s even something similar to a parade that takes place every year to celebrate the blossoming of the Jacarandá. It’s beautiful!!
Most things fade in time but are usually replaced with something else. Brazil has something that's so beautiful, so heart warming, it's the envy of the entire world. It's the music of Brazil. I love it.
@@fernandosr2001 Jacaranda also grow in Pretoria, South Africa. Not sure if they are indigenous here. We get many Japanese groups visiting Pretoria just to see the Jacaranda trees. Sorry for belated comment
@@brigittebenjamin9528 - The origin of Jacaranda is Argentina Paraguai e Brasil but same species like Dalbergia are also distributed at Africa, Madagáscar, Austrália and Asia.
I have been to Lisbon, it is beautiful city and I had a wonderful holiday there.
Great place to visit!
As a brazilian, I love Portugal architecture and food, to imagine that 2 centuries ago Rio de Janeiro was similar to this... I feel ashamed everytime I see to what it is now
bootlicker
Don't be. in forty years at the most, Lisbon will be much worse than the worst favela in Rio.
(a favela is a characteristic slum in Rio de Janeiro, notorious for its extreme misery, extreme violence and horrible life conditions)
@@pr4vda Substituir a arquitetura tradicional por prédios modernistas e arranha-céus destrói a memória histórica e o espírito de um povo. Não é a toa que somos uma nação cheia de homens ocos.
@@duartesimoes508 Oh really? Why do you say that?
@@messler5636 pura e dura ignorância.
Lisbon, Portugal was the first place that I’ve ever been to in Europe! I can’t wait to go back! It’s probably one of my favorite places in the entire world! Porto is also amazing as well! All of Portugal is beautiful! I can’t wait to return!
Beautiful, good place to Vacation.
Agreed. some amazing places to see and things to do.
Rick, looking forward to seeing Lisbon in October 2024. You make great videos. Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
I will definitely recommend Portugal to anyone, such an awesome place, lovely humble people ,Great food too especially if you love seafood.
My mom is from Lisbon .I have been there several times .One of my favorite places to visit ❤️proud to be half Portuguese 🇵🇹
Oh Really That’s Beautiful To know 😊
Hello Diana, how are you doing today?
I am a Indian after watching Steve's all programs I really enjoying bcoz Steve's explore everything history and culture and food also I have say no words about Steve's you are the great person 👍
I hung out on the streets of Lisbon selling artwork for a while. It makes me emotional to see the hidden gems that I would discover while wandering around town. Love this country, and this city has my heart.
No, you have my heart!!! ROCK ON BROTHER
My favourite city to visit. I've been visiting since 1983 when I was intrigued by a comment in the 'Hitchhikers Guide To Europe" that suggested it was an interesting time to visit the country after its revolution of 1974. The city that I visited then was a bit downtrodden with all of the public transport (trams and buses) dating from the 1920s and 1930, but it was utterly charming.
At that time, all of the city squares, that you see in this video, were car parks. The city was buzzing but a bit dirty. It was certainly off the beaten track. It was fairly hard to get to - not many affordable flights then, and it was easier to travel by train or bus. At that time, a lot of the population had emigrated to work in France.
The city has certainly cleaned up a lot but I do miss some of the old Lisbon that has gone forever. When I first visited, there was no charge to visit the Castle and there seemed to be some sort of menagerie there while the locals played cards. There was also a tram (trolley) that went pretty much straight up to the castle. Sadly a lot of it has gone, and you have to take a bus (or walk).
Still, it is always nice to go back from time to time.
Your comment brings back so many memories ... I was a student in Lisbon in 1966 when Salazar and the dictatorship still existed and, politics aside, life was so slow and sweet and 19th century style ... although there was poverty and life was very simple, there were no horrible slums, everything was clean and very safe and the people were so sweet and truly hospitable ... I have been back many times and have seen the modernization and many, many very welcome improvements but the Portuguese character has not really changed. It's my favorite place.
Ive been to many countries and Portugal tops them ALL for peace and tranquillity. And Lisbon is just beyond description !
R
It does looks amazing
Αντικρίζει τον μεγάλο ωκεανό, είναι χτισμένη στην εκβολή ενός ποταμού, έχει ασφαλές λιμάνι, είναι επτάλοφη, οι κάτοικοί της ήταν μεγάλοι ταξιδευτές, ξέρει από θλιμμένη μουσική και γευστικό φαγητό και κάποτε στο Ντα Λουζ σηκώσαμε το Ευρωπαϊκό. Την αγαπώ τη Λισσαβώνα
Awww! Lisbon is the most beautiful city in the world! ❤
I'm always afraid of using superlatives! You have to leave an opening for the unexpected! Ah! I'm Portuguese and live away from Portugal but I often visit! Ah! Regardless, I love my country!
Was in Lisbon Dec 18... favourite restaurant was Cervejaria Ramiro ... had dinner There twice in 3 days.. would return to Lisbon just for this.. hope Businesses in Lisbon will see through these times
I wanna cry
I love my country
I feel our history so much in my veins
I’ll die for you Portugal 😭
Humm ... a bit cringe, don't you think so?
Ana Ramos if you describe my words cringe I describe them as love, passion and a heroic feeling I got for my country
Portugal is indeed a European gem. It captivated my heart. Would love to visit again soon
LifeisLight I know this feeling, so did Fernando Pessoa and so many other great persons, Gulbenkian, Camões and so many more. I´m with you 💞🙏
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Watching this video brings back electrifying memories of my breathtaking trip to Lisbon in August 2019! It's freaking heavenly there!
Awesome city
Portugal is beautiful country
I love lisbon. Portugal is amazing and nothing can deny that. I have roots from portugal and my ancestors were very lucky. I went to porto,lisbon,algarve,and aveiro.
So many amazing places to visit!
Still a lot to see and experiment!
I lived there in 2008, such a beautiful city and country! Thanks for the memories.
As a fishiterian i almost like all type of fishes & cod its one of my favorite very unique taste and its smell love it.
I am from Malacca. Malacca and Portugal share some common history. When I heard about
Vasco da Gama in this documentary, it alerts me about our history in common. Even my school embraces a sport team with the name
Afonso de Albuquerque.
Malaca was one of the most important Portuguese trading port of Asia...big history there...
My favourite list to visit here. I want to go soon . What a beautiful place and happy to watch such a beautiful sight.
Portugal is an amazing country with amazing people. Bravo!
Would have to agree - Lisbon looks amazing.
Best City in Europe!
There are many young, energetic, popular UA-camr nowadays, buy I realized Rick Steve still the BEST!👍
Portugal 🇩🇪 🇵🇹 🇩🇪 🇵🇹 🇩🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤
All of Portugal, from north to south to its Atlantic islands, is simply stunning. A tiny European country with a gargantuan history filled with culture and tradition. Portugal has remained true to its roots and has not been swept away by modernity as have many other. In this fact is Portugal made unique. A must see for lovers of history and historic authenticity. Adore my Lusitanian heritage.
JUST LOVE THESE OLD TRAMS...NO MATTER IN WHICH CITY OR TOWN...
Welcome to Lisbon. I’m lucky to become a português and my husband in from Lisbon
I will never get enough of Portugal!!! Grew up there and still dream about going back one day!!! Well done Rick!!!
Before the Romans there were many others: the original ones, Iberians and Celtiberians, then the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Alans, Vandals, Sueves, Visigoths, Moors, Crusaders and the new invaders - the Western oligharcs who are buying and destroying the country! What Napoleon couldn't do, the new barbarians, the Americans and their media, are easily doing!... I'm proud and love my country - Portugal, the first global empire with a long history, rich culture, plenty of castles, monuments, and museums, beautiful cities, unique natural landscapes, huge maritime resources and... excellent food and wines! God help, one day I'll go back!
Welcome to Portugal all of you :) greetings
Lisbon has the allure of an old city married to modern commodities. History and culture are the hallmark of Portugal.
I never have words to describe how I feel about the videos. They are always wonderful. Thank you Rick for sharing.
I love following Rick on his T V shows around the World,educational and lovely to see these beautiful countries in the world of God creation.
I appreciate every EUROPEAN TOUR, THANKS.
Proud of being a Portuguese! I want to thank you for this review of our country and Lisbon! Every opinion is important for us and I appreciate your support! God bless you sir! :3
Tiaguh hi, I’m planning my first trip to Lisbon in September. I don’t know anyone there. It would be wonderful if I can meet up and hang out with a local friend like you. Would you like meet?

Zany L that’s great! Thank you so much !
@@lunaplanet12 Omg of course yes, I live in Sintra actually near the old villa, I am more than happy to meet you in Lisbon if you want
@@lunaplanet12 You can give me your Instagram for example and talk , even if we dont meet, enjoy our country Portugal its really beautiful
Es una ciudad hermosa, señorial, acogedora, hecha a escala humana. En ella se respira su historia y para un visitante es imposible abstraerse de su tradición marinera y exploradora. Lisboa es distinta de otras capitales europeas y esto es motivo de natural orgullo. Conocí Lisboa y me encantó, y volveré a ella toda las veces que sea pueda. Saludos.
¡muito obrigada pelas suas palavras tão lindas!
El video es precioso!!!!!! gracias por compartir tus experiencias, espero seguir disfrutando de todos tus vídeos.👍👍👏👏👏🍀🍀

Thanks Rick for wonderful video of beautiful Lisbon
Thank you for taking us to Lisbon, Portugal. I really enjoyed it ❤
I've been fortunate enough to go to Lisbon twice, and I absolutely love the city. Beautiful architecture, wonderful people, great food.... It is so sad that we did not see the city as it was prior to the 1755 earthquake. Still, I would go back any time.
Visit the district of Alfama and you'll find the city as before the earthquake
@@olasparen6955 and I believe there are some images or virtual reconstructions...
Love this place,
@@wendyburgess5805I would go but I want to tour England first just to see my home country. But Portugal is very interesting warmer climate and I'm Sri Lankan there is Portuguese influence in the food
@@olasparen6955Travel to Porto, it's different but you'll get a flavour!
Lisbon, Portugal is fantastic
The passion and enthusiasm of this man!
💛💛💛
Steve! You are getting me through these tough days of quarantine and travel restrictions! Thank you so much!
Thanks Rick for yet again an outstanding tour of one of Europe's most influential capitals!
We just arrived in Lisbon yesterday. This video so spot on, and really captures the layout and nature of this beautiful city from the food to the layout of the city. I found it to be more helpful than them, the litany of 10 things to do in Lisbon as this ties everything together in a historic context.
It certainly looks like a great city to explore.
Thank GOD for foods. Let us taste the Great Nature's generous offering and the creative cooking
I love Lisboa! 💛
Amo Portugal, a sua cultura, o seu povo e suas ricas paisagens fisiográficas!
Your videos are great! Portugal é belo!
Excellent overview of Lisbon!
Muito bom!
Thanks for doing a video on this city Steve. The only city I've been to where I can honestly say I felt depressed when I left. Can't wait to go back!

I'd love to tour a city like this with Rick Steves! - he's fun, witty, speaks well and is knowledgeable!! Thanks for a great and never-ending list of places to visit!!
Sadly he's a dying breed of man. At least in America.
Hi Rick hope you are well. Just wanted to say thank you on 2 counts. 1. I was in isolation a year ago after spending 2 nights in hospital with covid & at the same time a family member passed away from cancer/covid issues and your videos really helped me to focus on something positive and get me through that time. 2. Ive seen some of the charitable acts you have done within your business and to your wider community and you deserve huge applause for this. Take Care, Rich.
Beautiful city 😍
I love ❤️ minha nação, Portugal
A beautiful city- great video as always.
One of my favorite cities to visit and live in even though yet i haven't been there.
Thank Rick Steve for choosing Lisbon as your new city to film and provide us with beautiful pictures and information, well done!
@WHAT'A FUN I'M DOING HERE?!?! I totally believe you, it does fascinate me knowing these type of cities do actually exists that won't bore you or stop amaze you .
Rick great job !
Thankyou for Showlng this iconic city lisbon !
But SINTRA is from another world !
You mean that San Francisco has a Lisbon vibe?
I was wondering this too, so i decided to look it up... It turns our San Francisco actually used horse drawn street cars before Lisbon did. San Francisco also seemed to have switched to electric street cars about 30 years before they appeared in Lisbon. So given the context i think it's fair to say that, historically, Lisbon has a San Francisco vibe when it comes to street cars
Regardless of who came first, he is American and the video is targeted towards Americans so the comparison should be to something most Americans know: San Francisco
@@prado1205 right, the order isn't important. It doesn't matter whether apples taste like cider, or if cider tastes like apples. All you want to know is who is selling you the product? In this case; an American. Exclusively reaching American speakers. If switching the origins around makes it easier to convey the message, he'll do so...
Well, either way, if both cities (and maybe even others) were able to get use out of this system, it seems like a win for everyone :)
Maurice sure, but if you only ate cider your whole life and I were making a video on apples, I’d tell you “Apples taste like cider”
@@prado1205 Wouldn't it be a bit strange though to consume cider all your life but never once try to find out what it's made of?
Lisbon is one of the beautiful cities of Europe.
Hi Rick, thank you for showing us beautiful city. Chaos
father Gruner done some shows in Portugal ,Lisbon, Fatima ,Orem for Our Lady of Fatima...!!
