Lisbon: What NOT to Do in Lisbon, Portugal
Переглядів 1,001,044
3 роки томуTourist information on visiting Lisbon, Portugal. From what to do like visit Mosteiro do Jeronimos, having pasteis de Belem and eating like a king, but also what you should not do when you visit Lisbon. From scary taxi rides, seven hills you will walk up, and wondering why people are trying to sell you random stuff on the street, this is one of my favorite and most thorough city travel videos.

I'm italian and I have travelled and live in many different countries in the world, but once I got to Portugal, I immediately understood this is the place for me. The light, the colors and the people are just fantastic. Yes, the salaries are not high, but for me no more money could compensate the happiness that I feel living in Lisbon
@marianar2948 3 роки тому
I'm happy that Lisbon makes you happy, but the Happiness of living definitely has a high price and foreigns romanticizing the city has been making that price go higher and higher. I wish people were more mindful of that. xoxo

I'm glad you love it here, but "the salaries aren't high" is an understatement. My entire salary isn't enough for rent in most of the city, and i work in the city, so, i live almost 90min away from where i work. It's not fun.

I´m portuguese and I can say that´s the best list of things not to do in Lisbon I ever saw in UKposts. Great job really. Let me just add some more things: 1 - Lisbon airport is almost in downtown and connected by the subway, so before come to Lisbon check where your accomodaton is. Probably you can reach it in about 30 min. by subway. Unless your´re carrying a lot of luggage, you don´t need a taxi (more expensive and probably you´ll have the first bad experience in the city, lol). 2 - Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré neighborhoods are the centre of nightlife in Lisbon (lots of restaurants, bars and small clubs), so don´t expect a quiet place to sleep if your accomodation is there. The same applies for Alfama, Castle, Mouraria and Bica neighborhoods if you come in June. This is a great time to come to Lisbon but unless you want to be in the heart of a pemanent street festival, avoid to stay in these neighborhoods in June. 3 - There is a high probability that you don´t speak portuguese. No problem with that. Surely we´ll try to understand and help you with the language. But please, please, please (especially for tourists from the U.S.A) DON´T try to use spanish words, unless you want to be considered rude and/or ignorant.We love our spanish neighbors but we are really proud of our culture and language. Portugal and Spain ARE NOT the same country, culture or language, even if they look similar to you.So if you don´t know how to thank in portuguese, don´t say "Gracias", use your own language or the most common english "Thanks".

I am Catalan and when I go to Portugal I try to speak my very bad Portuguese but I mainly communicate in English. Portuguese people are so kind that when they know that I come from Barcelona they do communicate in Spanish. It's actually needless. English is ok. And very often when I speak Catalan to them they understand me pretty well! And I like it when they speak Portuguese to me. Let's use our own languages when possible!

@@ifcarvalho168 Nada nunca fez parte de cultura nenhuma por definição... tudo teve que a certa altura ser introduzido em todas as culturas. Os riquexós (que deram eventualmente lugar aos Tuk Tuks) não foram criados no sul da Ásia e são, de facto, provenientes da cultura Europeia e só depois é que se espalharam para a Ásia e inicialmente só proliferaram no Japão (que é muito diferente culturalmente dos países que mencionaste) e só vieram a espalhar-se para o resto do Sudeste Asiático mais tarde. Por outras palavras, até recentemente (na grande escala do tempo 200 anos não são absolutamente nada) não faziam parte dessas culturas e não eram, de todo, naturais. Em pouco tempo passaram a ser assimilados na cultura e tradição desses sítios. As coisas mudam, habitua-te que faz parte de ser humano. Porque é que achas que o apelo à tradição é uma falácia argumentativa? Raramente passam de baboseiras conservadoras sem substância ou nexo. Se a coisa proliferar por cá passará eventualmente a fazer parte da nossa cultura, é essa a natureza das coisas. Para ti não encaixa porque contradiz a tua imagem mental e pessoal da Lisboa idealizada, para as gerações vindouras pode vir a ser só mais um marco da cultura Lisboeta. Só o tempo o dirá.

Let me add a couple of things: In a restaurant you pay for the "free" bread and cheese they put on your table. If you eat anything, you have to pay for it. If you don't want it you have to ask for it to be removed. And check the receipt at the end, some restaurants are used to charging it and "forget" to remove the item. Also, do go into the supermarkets, especially if they're part of a chain, even the small ones around the center of the city are relatively affordable.
@pfsantos007 2 роки тому
Yes, not just bread, but the little cheeses, butter, olives, etc. I'm Portuguese and that got me when I was young (I was born outside Portugal) the first time my parents weren't paying lol. Went apesh*t, ate everything up (except for the butter) and got charged for all! Good times.

Thank you for this.

*”Look up and look down”* - I read this before my visit. Down for the Portuguese calçada (cobblestones) and up for the Azulejos (tiles). So true. The beautiful patterns and designs of Lisbon’s squares and sidewalks were impressive as were all the tiles that adorned so many buildings. Such a visually appealing city indeed. *365 days of cod* - Most people know that bacalhau is super popular in Lisbon and many claim there’s a different recipe for every day of the year. Definitely don’t skip the cod. *friendly locals* - Mark always says locals are friendly but this is especially the case in Lisbon. Everyone was quick to start a conversation or offer advice. *Lisbon is my favorite city in Europe.* 👍

Palácio da Pena is really awesome for the views, its really unique architecture and it does show a lot of the royal life. The thing is, it was the summer palace of the royal family. If you really want to dive into that "versailles" feel, visiting the queluz palace (on the way to Sintra) or even the Ajuda palace (near Belém) are really the things to go to because those were the actual more permanent residencies of the royal families year long. More ancient palaces/castles aren't really out there because Lisbon has suffered some earthquakes throughout the years. The saint Jorge castle (the one in the video) was where the royal family lived until the 16th when it was replaced by the Paço da Ribeira, because the castle had been damaged by earthquakes in 1531, 1551, 1597 and 1699. The Paço da Ribeira used to stand exactly arround the square this video was shot. Actually that square is officially called Praça do Comércio (square of commerce) but its previous name "terreiro do paço" (square of the palace) is still very widely used. That palace was completly destroyed in the big Lisbon earthquake of 1755 along with its library with extensive records of Portuguese history and the age of the discoveries :/

And he even featured one Tuna Académica in it and I'm SO happy. For all of you who don't know what a Tuna Académica is, it's what's happening during that "this is NOT fado" part. A Tuna is essentially a band, which relies mostly on vocal harmonies and several string instruments and tambourines (though other instruments such as accordions and flutes can be often present), and "Académica" means that's a student's group, usually linked to one of the universities. Their concerts are great, usually free/very affordable, VERY authentically portuguese and so much worth your time.

Hi Mark! The Tile Museum is incredibly underrated considering how much tourists get fascinated with tiles! This is due to being in the polar opposite of Belém, the museum Area. With this said, it's very easy and quick to access by suburban trains, subway, and buses. It's located in an old convent and it contains really antique and modern pieces, so if you really enjoy the art of tiles or Art in general, you're in for a treat! I cannot recommend it enough, it's just begging to be photographed ;)

I have visited Lisbon many times and agree with all these tips. I've eaten in some good places in Saldanha, less tourists, but still central. The market at Principle Real is a great place to visit and I love the independent shops in Lisbon and the people!

Nooo don't tell the tourists about the real way to go inside Pastéis de Belém! 🤣🤣🤣 Great video, all of this is spot on!! I would also say that the tram route 28 is much more beautiful on foot.

Great Video Wolters 👌🏻 ahaha !! It's funny that most of times the best tips come not from the locals but for the most curious ones who want to explore deep the culture of the places they are !!! I would love to show you some secret nice restaurants where you can have the best and traditional food for super cheap prices !! 😄😄 I actually started to make UKposts videos as well to show those places !!! Keep it like that man ! Cheers 🍻

Just had a chance to go over Thanksgiving and it was perfect fall weather - and it was way less crowded than I'd imagine in summer. Only downside is sunset is around 5pm. I'd love to go back for the June festivals and to see more of the surrounding area. Maybe a video of don'ts of Sintra would be helpful. I did some research before going but I'd do things differently after having experienced it.
@alexandreandrade3728 Рік тому
People, this is pretty much spot on... I lived in Lisbon all my life (39 years). Everything you mentioned is spot on. Just a quick check on some of the things you just mentioned (what i don't mention is because you already've done so). 1. Downtown is easy to get around by just walking everywhere; 2. Avoid the tuk tuk's and tram's (way too expensive), and tram's have groups of pickpockets - usually 3 guys at a time; 3. Tascas' are the best places to eat definitely; 4. Avoid Avenida da Liberdade to shop - one of the most expensive avenues in Europe to shop and not worth it; 5. In Belém, pretty much spot on, if you want to try the custards just go inside, if you want to try the pasteis de cerveja in front, just go inside, it is always empty; 6. If you want to visit the amazing view of Castle St. Jorge and you live inside the city, just take a document proving you live here and don't pay for it; 7. If you are staying in a hotel, buy a good bottle of green or white wine for a 1/5 of the price you would pay by going to a fancy restaurant; 8. To hear good Fado just go to Alfama or visit the Agenda Cultural online or pick one up at a tourist station and ask for directions; 9. The visit to Torre de Belém is a no no, but visit the Padrão dos Descobrimentos instead, great view from up there; 10. Calouste Gulbenkian foundation in Avenidas Novas is a must go, but not now, many things are under construction; 11. Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga is definitely a must go; 12. Outside of Lisbon, if you can, visit Mafra, Sintra (absolutely magical) with great weather in Lisboa, Vila Viçosa (where our monarchy ended), and Évora for instance - you get a great value for money and a great insight of our most recent and interesting prespective in terms of history from the 19th century to knowadays; 13. If you like good beaches stop by in the SW of Portugal (The Algarve); 14. Great food and people to the north of Coimbra (Lousã - naturally wonderfulll), Porto (a gorgeous city with great people and history), Amarante (gorgeous), Gerês (naturally gorgeous to explore), Braga (great hostory too), Guimarães (where the country was born), etc... Great video from someone who knows what he is talking about. Congratulations for that. Love it, take care and you are very welcome to our gorgeous little country.

Lisbon is probably the cheapest place to live, vacation and shop in western and central Europe... how can the shops on Av. de Liberdade be more expensive than in, say, London or Paris? They surely must be cheaper.
@alexandreandrade3728 Рік тому
@@TheUrbanEpicure Easy answer to this one. Just look at the brands
@TheUrbanEpicure Рік тому
@@alexandreandrade3728 My point is: a Gucci belt or Boss shirt should be much cheaper in Lisbon than in other European capitals.

We moved here from the USA 2 months ago and LOVE it. We plan to live here long term, and possibly permanently. Video seems very accurate. Only thing I would challenge is the claim that you are charged "extra" as a "tourist" on Tram 28. Tram rides are all priced the same. Discounts come via using the reloadable transport cards, not by being a "local" per se.
@gbasilveira 2 роки тому
They are the same, but if you use it often you better have the pass card which is much cheaper on the long term

Overall a great video! But the castle part makes me sad since the visitors are advised to visit Sintra instead of the S. Jorge Castle ruins, yet the museum of the castle provides an accurate interpretation about the history of the city and its remote fundation through its archeological findings. It's like going to Rome and avoiding the ruins of the Palatine.
