Ly called home by fishermen and Dock Workers today it’s artistic historic Side still shines through this is one of Lisbon’s most hilly areas which is Saying something so be prepared for Winding cobbled streets and stairs Taking you on a maze-like journey in Every direction Uh [Music] Thank you [Music] By the late afternoon we’d moved into Baisha this neighborhood is where all The action is restaurants monuments Tourist attractions cafes and shops it’s The heart of modern Lisbon life there Was even this excitable March going on Now at the time I had no idea what these People were marching for but I was Pretty sure it had something to do with Alan sugar [Music] Surprisingly most of this area was Completely rebuilt after a devastating Earthquake in 1755. as you can see here Rebuilding the city on a new grid-like System was totally at odds with the Alfama district we just passed through That makes these buildings some of the Oldest examples of earthquake resistant Construction in the world today [Music] Foreign

[Music] One of the most unique structures in Lisbon is the Santa giuster lift built In 1900 what started as an Innovative Form of public transport has since Become a major tourist attraction and to Ride one with a queue of up to 45 Minutes the views though are worth the Elevation gain and there is actually a Travel hack that allows you to skip all Of that wait time I’m gonna follow up This video with a concise travel guide With tips such as that Q jump getting Around and where best to stay so I’ll Link that video here once it’s finished Foreign for once timeout Market isn’t Just another place with a brand name Randomly attached in 2014 timeout Portugal gathered all their best Reviewed restaurants Under One Roof Literally bringing the magazine to life We both really enjoyed this tasty Seafood soup and then we rolled the dice On this octopus hot dog now It Ultimately turned out to be a slightly Odd combination but the octopus itself Was incredibly soft and succulent [Music] With our stomachs full we took the Metro Back to our hotel transport around Lisbon had been incredibly easy so far Before we’d even arrived in Portugal We’d purchased the Lisbon card which Gave us unlimited travel on all local

Description to support travel Vlogs like This and find out where your next trip Might take you [Music] [Music] One of our favorite breakfasts was found In shiado an important cultural and Commercial area known for luxury Shopping theaters and museums Cafe Brasilea is one of Lisbon’s oldest and Most famous it began Life as a Brazilian Coffee Trader and became a meeting point For poets and intellectuals and now People like me also What mattered most Though for this morning was that it was Easily the best coffee we’d had so far And the food met our high expectations With this sweet toast and mixed platter Foreign [Music] A short bus ride from shiado is LX Factory once a large Industrial Area It’s been reimagined as a self-contained Trendy Village focusing on Independent Fashion art music and literature [Music] Foreign [Music] This bridge is one of Lisbon’s largest Most recognizable landmarks opening in The 60s its color makes for an easy Comparison to the Golden Gate but it was Actually built by the same Consortium Behind the Bay Bridge also in San

Francisco translated into English its Name is 25th of April Bridge which marks The date of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution the 25th of April is Admittedly an odd name for a bridge but It was still ultimately better than Calling it Tuesday [Music] Foreign We did make was visiting this area of Ballet on a Monday as most attractions Turned out to be closed around all of Lisbon Monday is the most likely day That things will be shut but Specifically here that meant half of the Sites on our list would be outside Viewing only [Music] No trip to Lisbon is complete without a Visit to paste du ballet and that’s Because this is the birthplace of the Famous pastel Donata The Story Goes that Following the closure of all convents And monasteries in the 1830s won Entrepreneurial monk started selling Sweet pastries to make ends meet this Unique recipe quickly became the Talk of The Town and now Portugal’s most popular Food export throughout our whole time in Lisbon we had four different pashtag Dinata and these were definitely the Best with a perfect crisp to the Sweet Custard in addition both the sausage Puff pastry and muffin we ordered were

Both really light and fluffy the Atmosphere was admittedly a little Hectic but the large dining rooms meant We were seated pretty quickly the prices Were also very reasonable especially Considering the Cafe’s Fame with all of This coming to just 10 euros Looking back the food was one of the Best things about Lisbon for dinner we Struck gold when one of you lovely People suggested this small seafood Restaurant we ordered these sardine Tacos Peruvian Ceviche soft shell crab Burger tuna steak and Linguini narrow With scallops this Feast would set us up Nicely for the early morning and that’s Because tomorrow we’d be leaving Central Lisbon to visit sintra a Charming Town 45 minutes West by train we’d originally Planned sintra to happen in two days Time however the weather forecast was Looking terrible so we crossed our Fingers and hoped that tomorrow’s Weather would be better It wasn’t [Music] [Music] Foreign [Music] This 10th Century Castle sits atop one Of the many peaks in the sintra Hills Taking the bus from sintra station it’s One stop before the main attraction of Piena Palace so is a good enroute

Destination on a better weather day the 400 meter high views of the main town of Sintra below would be amazing and it Offers the clearest views of the palace Itself Despite the weather in this instance the Fog actually kinda complemented the Atmosphere to these ruins [Music] That complementary weather aspect was Not so easily found at piano Palace Given that we couldn’t actually see most Of it piano Palace in sintra was the Thing I was most looking forward to on This trip on better days this unique Residence with its 360 degree views and Neighboring Gardens would have been a Marvel to wander through so I don’t want These shots to put people off from Visiting but our experience was Obviously mad the history of this site Dates back to the 12th century with it Originally being a monastery but it was 1838 when King Ferdinand II took a shine To the region started Renovations and Turned this home into the palace you see Today again I’ll cover more practical Info in the follow-up Lisbon tips video But if you’re short on time my personal Hot take is to spend less time in the Residence itself and instead to explore Its panoramas majesty and Gardens from The outside just only when it doesn’t Look like this

[Music] Being so high up and surrounded by Hills Piano Palace can live in its own micro Climate the great news then is that even If the weather isn’t great up here 500 Meters below the town of sintra itself Was a big highlight in all of our time Here [Music] Why would you look outside yourself when You have all the world Inside [Music] All of the world The soundproof windows weren’t the only Things that impressed us with our hotel Its location was perfectly Central to Most attractions without being on a busy High Street the station to Centro was Five minutes away as was the metro line To the airport on our final morning it Turned out that tram 28 was also a few Minutes walk away the number 28 is one Of the last remaining historic Tram Routes in Lisbon the twisting steep Narrow Pathways that it carves just Isn’t suitable for modern Transportation Although you will see locals on board it Has become somewhat of a tourist magnet Allowing you to catch a glimpse of what The commutes might have felt like 100 Years ago [Music] During our whole time here we’d

Constantly been impressed with how Lisbon has turned tiling into an art Form they are everywhere So with that I uttered a sentence that I Never thought I’d say let’s go to the Tile Museum Upon entry after seeing some single Tiles on the walls I feared I had walked Into the Simpsons box factory tour but It was at this room where I saw that That wasn’t the case it turns out the Tile Museum might as well be an art Gallery but instead of art being stuck Within a picture frame it was the entire Wall that was the canvas In hindsight this thinking outside the Frame had perfectly represented our trip Lisbon is an incredibly unique European City with so many sights and experiences That can only be found here although This is the end of the video it wasn’t The end of our trip tomorrow we’d be Taking a flight to Madeira one of Portugal’s many islands if you’d like to See how that turned out please hit the Like button subscribe comment or watch It now if you’re living in the future Please do keep an eye out for the Lisbon Tips video coming soon and thank you to Get your guide for sponsoring this video I’ll link all the tours and tickets in The description and as ever thanks for Watching suitcase monkey Oh wow
