Glad that you liked that restaurant O Cartaxeiro because it's one of the two that I usually recommend in that square (the other one being Cana Verde). Two typically plain options and that's why I recommend them. Would love to see you again in Lisbon!
thank you so much for this! I'm pllaning my honemoon and you both really gave an awesome look into how Portugal is. And the cost breakdown is so helpful!
Very nice video showcasing that great city. I’ve been twice and can’t wait to go back again. There’s something about Lisbon and its people that is very special. Thanks for bringing us along!
Did. you ever think of getting a little stroller for your dogs or do they prefer to walk? You can get a double umbrella type strolled that folds up compactly. Great tour. The art district looks really fun. The market had great looking produce. I agree that the green space, lake and preserved architecture of Obidos were fabulous.
Jasper always prefers to walk as he's full of energy. Huxley prefers to be carried in crowded places but happy to walk otherwise. We always have to keep them trained and ready for the next multi-day hike 😂
I love following your adventures, and always learn so much!! Your videos are hands down the best of any travel vloggers I've seen - from the way you structure the flow to the audio/visual quality to the fun jokes and useful info. My husband and I always look forward to the next one :) Thank you for putting the time and effort into documenting your adventures. 30 years down the line, imagine how fun it'll be to watch them together and reminisce! PS: I expected you to come in at $4-5k for a month in Lisbon, since I keep hearing about inflation and it's popularity, I'm impressed (and relieved lol) to see you come in way under, kudos! Greetings from Jessica, Justin, and Milo in San Diego
Aw, thanks so much! It's always nice to hear our videos have been helpful. We agree they will be a pretty awesome memory album for us down the line. We were equally surprised how things landed with our Lisbon budget... just goes to show how far a good deal on airbnb can go towards reducing monthly costs! p.s. we need to get Huxley some of those awesome sunglasses like Milo has 😎
We felt very safe in Alfama. We were there for a month in November and found that it had a very neighbourly feeling, especially when you patronise the local shops. That said, you might need to be more mindful at night during peak summer season as there would be more partying tourists around.
In Portugal do not loose your time ordering a "late" for coffee.Please, order a "Galao directo" and you will have the best experience of coffee. If by any chance you would prefer a small one, then ask for a "meia de leite". Ask for it "directo" and they will pour the coffee from the machine directely on top of hot milk.
How do you two always get such amazing deals on your air bnbs? I try to follow your example and send messages about how responsible and caring we are, and negotiate due to our long stays, but it hasn't worked for me yet. I'd love to know your best tips and tricks. BTW- Love all you do and all of your videos. Thank you so much!!!
Great question! Perhaps some of our luck with rates has to do with booking six to eight months in advance. However, there are plenty of times when we end up paying way more than we prefer, eg in Budapest. In those cases, we try to at least get a free mid-stay cleaning, although we're not always successful! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 😊
Fun to see your video because we were just there in April and loved it :), and also surprising to see that even in November it's so crowded. Did you try the jinjina in Obidos? It was actually better than in Lisbon and it's where it's originated.
Great video. Black Swans are native to Australia, and any that you see in other countries are descendants of swans imported from Australia. There are lots of them in my part of Tasmania.
Oh, beautiful Lisbon 🌹 I've been through there twice this year - on my way to and from the Azores but, still need to see much more of Lisbon.. Thanks so much for sharing your tour there... Love the apartment you stayed in 🤗
We loved that apartment too! And the neighbourhood turned out to be very pleasant, not overly touristy. We would certainly recommend it for a short stay.
Wow - I haven't been to Lisbon in years but even in July, there weren't as many tourists as I see in your videos! The Jardim da Estrela is my favorite park in Lisbon.
I'm glad we spent the month in Lisbon and wouldn't have planned it any other way for our first time here. However, for a return trip to Portugal, I would certainly look for small centres as a base.
In fact, we went to Porto for our very first week in Portugal. We didn't make a video but we did share the highlights in our Instagram Stories instagram.com/stories/highlights/18020351710870092/
