I shouldn't be revealing this secret, but if you're planning on getting a metro ticket at the airport and the line is really long, just walk past the machines and take your first right. There is another ticket machine, which will be against the wall on your right. It's the secret machine and almost never has a queue.

The tip on skipping the Santa’s justa lift is fantastic. It really helps you shave an hour of waiting. Very cool. To be honest the best views of the city are not from this platform anyway. You can easily skip this and go to the Arch at the square and go up and the views are magnificent and there is no queue here. Santa justa is just a tourist trap. the name of the arch is Arco da Rua Augusta

At the Pastéis de Belém shop you eat Pastéis de Belém, not Patéis de Nata. The ones that you find everywhere else in the country are Pastéis de Nata, which have kind of an "open source" recipe, whilst the Pastéis de Belém are trademarked, exclusive and have a secret recipe.

@totalbrootal Год назад

Great video and tips, I was also in Portugal in October! I was in the country for almost 2 weeks and it was a great experience! In addition to the Lisbon and Sintra, I also went to Cascais, Porto, and Braga. I would definitely recommend people check out Portugal. That Santa Justa Lift tip would have come in handy for me. Pena Palace looked foggy for me just like it was for you, but it made for a magical experience in my opinion and the weather cleared for the rest of the day for me. I somehow managed to see nearly everything in Sintra in one day. I saw Pena Palace, then the Moorish Castle, then Quinta da Regaleira, then the Monserrate Palace, then the National Palace of Sintra, and I even wandered the main town a bit. It is possible, but it was an all day nearly non-stop experience and I was dead tired by the end, no regrets though.

@totalbrootal 11 месяцев назад

@@lilysusanti1347 I did mostly thin clothing with a few thicker warmer pieces. The weather was generally very good, but having a light extra layer or a jacket or an umbrella came in handy a few times. Wearing bulky items like a jacket instead of packing it for the flight definitely saves space. I've also had some packing success with tightly rolling up clothes instead of folding them.

Good interesting Video. With reference to the Pastel De Bacalhau, (12:50) we visited the same outlet at the top of the Santa Justa lift by the Carmo Convent, purchased the cod cake & port & we were charged €12.50 each! Tasty but too expensive. But they gave us the glasses & a small bag. According to one of our guides in the Azores it is not a traditional dish & we were ripped off. Sep 23.

Hey thanks. Yes they have to be consecutive. They best way to do it is to visit the attractions whilst the card is active and if it runs out just get the Viva card for transport only at the end

@clovispatten4039 28 дней назад

I made the mistake of not leaving enough time to look around and go to a museum. I was looking for a toilet and found one at bottom of town that charges 4 euros, not wanting to pay that much, found another one, but they needed 50 cents and didn't give change or except any other money. I managed one viewpoint then had to leave for the airport. Went to a metro station and got a ticket, unfortunately left my bank card in the machine and didn't realise until I was at the airport. So couldn't get any food until I was on the plane and able to pay on my phone. The whole experience this time made me wish I had spent the extra time in Sintra then gone straight to the airport😅 😂😅

@SuitcaseMonkey 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the reply. All I know is when we came from the Convent side, we walked onto the main viewing platform that had no higher area and we were free to walk around, with no turn styles and then we took the lift back to the floor. There was no other level higher than where we were. Unless things have changed we were fee to walk around all the outside top area.

We are debating if we should get the Lisbon card, we are spending one week in Lisbon and also home to get to Sintra. The Lisbon card is just good for 72 hours.

@SuitcaseMonkey Год назад

It’s worth it if you want to see the attractions that come free with it. So you could just bunch seeing those attractions over a few days and then just use the travel card the rest of the time. Otherwise if not, then it probably isn’t.
