    Thank you for the good information. People keep mentioning tuck tucks (the three wheeled transport taxis) for navigating in some of the cities. But no one mentioned the rates or how to pay. Cash, credit card or cold beer?

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  8 місяців тому

      You're most welcome.
      Tuk tuks can be very helpful in getting around Lisbon, especially for the hills.However, prices will vary - anywhere from 30 euros to 300 euros. That is probably why you you don't see prices listed. Prices vary because it depends on how long the tuk tuk tour lasts (1 hour to half a day) to how many people ride to what kind of information the driver gives (i.e., is it just a ride or is it an actual tour with information?).
      You can catch a tuk tuk there or arrange one on in advance. If you want a real tour, I would arrange in advance so you can read the reviews of others so you know what you're going to get for the price and plan for your time in Lisbon. This is why I have many valuable links in the video description for my viewers - I try to take out the guesswork by providing top rated activities and tours. Hence, see my link to the Lisbon electric tuk tuk tour: gyg.me/vjhXQf6O
      It's a short, 1.5 hour tour with a historic Lisbon storytelling guide (in multiple languages), decently priced (and you can cancel in advance for full refund), has great reviews, and is an electric (not gas powered) vehicle. In my humble opinion, I think promoting the use of an electric vehicle in Lisbon is ideal in protecting the environment, but the choice is certainly yours.
      Have a wonderful time on your Lisbon tuk tuk tour! -g

    hello. we love your video. we have not been to portugal and are traveling late Feb/early March. We would like to stay in a safe, non-touristy area and are debating between Alfama and Baxia. One of our best trips was in Florence when we stayed outside the main area and ate with the locals and lived like a local but walked to all the sites. Do you have a neighborhood you recommend that is more local/traditional portugal? Thank you so much for your help!

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  Рік тому

      Thanks so much. I hope it was helpful. If you're going to Porto or Coimbra, please see those videos also.
      I can understand your wanting to get away from touristy areas, but all of the city center, including Alfama and Baixa, will have tourists. If this is a first time visit and you want to see much quickly, staying in the city center is ideal. You can always find ways to interact with the locals, especially in the low season. If you want to be further out but access the city center easily, perhaps stay on the west side in Ajuda or Chaida.

    • @photographlisbon
      @photographlisbon Рік тому

      Hi, Beth. Trying to add a little to what Gwen wrote.
      I would recommend visiting Alfama (try a Ginjinha at Delícia Cafés) with Bairro Alto and Belém as places to visit as well.
      There are many, many hotels downtown (Baixa) which make it very easy for you to visit Alfama, Mouraria, Baixa and Bairro Alto. Belém is a few minutes away by car or public transportation. You also have excelent transportation to any of these places if you choose to stay in a hotel in another part of the city, just see if it's close to the subway's green or blue line. Remember Lisbon is a relatively small city.
      As to safety, just be careful of pickpockets and the kind of scams you find in any similar city. Violent crime is very rare.
      If you're into Photography, look up Photograph Lisbon.
      Hope you have a great time in Lisboa!

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  Рік тому +1

      First of all, yeah good for you! Mid September should provide lovely weather across the board. And, it's smart you're starting north and working your way south to capture on the weather. That said, you do not need a car. I've never rented one for that type of route you are referring to. The CP train will take you all the way from Porto through Lisbon and then to Lagos, from where you can catch the train and go east in the Algarve. Confirm in advance which towns in the Algarve you are visiting and ensure there is a train station in each town. If there is, you can walk, or take the bus or rideshare to your accommodation. Very easy, especially if you are staying within towns/city centers - you don't need a car. Last, stay tuned this week because I am releasing my "15 Things to Know Before You Go to Porto" ASAP this week, followed quickly by Coimbra early next week (a nice stop on the way between Porto and Lisbon by train). I'll have tips for you. Click the 'notification' button to be notified when they are live!

      Sorry for the late reply. And Happy New Year! I was moving to Portugal this past weekend.
      Using of credit cards is acceptable, but you may find that only bars or certain places only take cash, so it's best to have some cash on you always. Always tip in cash, if you can. When in doubt, don't be afraid to ask the server or owner what is easiest for them. Some appreciate the asking. 😀

    Question about tipping. You suggest always tipping with cash. Do you leave a couple euros on the table (at restaurant) after paying by credit card? In some European cities when paying by credit card, I’ve told the server to charge my card an amount a couple euros over what is owed. They seem to appreciate that. Do people do this in Portugal? Thanks, very informative video.

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  11 місяців тому +1

      I apologize for the delay in responding. Yes, you can leave change (cash) on the table after paying with a credit card. You can also put the tip on the card, like you've done before. I know cash is appreciated and it will go to the server. Some establishments will get the credit card tip, instead of it going to the server. So, you can always ask the server what they prefer. But to err on the side of caution, just tip in cash after the credit card. I hope that makes sense.

    I just comeback from 10 days trip in Portugal. The weather was fine, the street was pretty clean and not many people were there.
    I’m very sorry to say that , had I know the Lisboa, I wouldn’t have planned to stay in for 7 days. The Monastery I had to wait to for more than
    an hour under the hot sun, I couldn’t see the main part of Monastery because it closed after I got in although it said it closed 6 pm ,and still
    let people were getting in . Paying 12 euro and seeing only the corridor of the Monastery was not worth it. And you have to pay one euro
    or .50 euro to get in most of public bathroom.

    Hi, im not seeing any of the links you mention. I'm trying to find the better option for airport to Sintra, between Uber and welcome pick ups or a taxi

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  10 місяців тому +2

      Hello. Not sure if you're more concerned about budget or length of trip from the airport to Sintra.
      If budget is a concern, you can take the Metro to the Oriente station and then catch the train (www.cp.pt/passageiros/en) to Sintra (very inexpensive, easy, and I believe they run often). Takes 1 to 1.5 hours total? A second budget option is taking the bus (about an hour trip): www.flixbus.com/.
      Quicker methods are by car, of course, but cost more. If you can always catch a taxi at the airport, but I'm not sure how much that would cost. Transfer services you can book in advance are other options. There are many to choose from, and I would confirm your drop off point in Sintra before booking, but you can start with these:
      gettransfer.tp.st/RYe3pdeY
      gyg.me/cvZaum90
      www.welcomepickups.com/

    Is Portugal cities easy to manouver with an electric wheelchair?

    • @CORRTravel
      @CORRTravel  11 місяців тому

      You know, that's a great question. Just off the top of my head, I would think the larger cities (Lisbon, Porto, etc.) would provide a better chance to get around in an electric wheelchair because they are more apt to have paved or wider sidewalks that will allow for wheelchair width. I would not be deterred about the fact that the city centers are going to be comprised of cobblestones. They may provide a bumpier ride, but I believe still doable. Although there will be narrower streets and sidewalks not accessible in the smaller towns, they will also still exist in larger cities, yet larger cities will have more routes for you. Again, don't discount smaller towns, like in the Algarve - they are can be fairly flat and be easy to get around. You'll also want to consider transportation, hotels and attractions. Many hotels have started provided accessible rooms. There are taxi rentals available, and many attractions, including churches, may offer a ramp to enter. However, I would do your research first to confirm so you can plan an itinerary that you will love with no issues. I would contact your hotel and ask many questions about this to see what information they can give you in terms of attractions and getting around. I would also go on to the specific attractions' websites to see how accessible they are so you can plan. All in all, I believe you can plan a lovely trip to Portugal, it will just take some research and asking around. Perhaps there is a Facebook group or two that can help? In terms of websites, I did find a few below to get you started. I hope you find these websites and this information helpful in your planning!
