How to see as much of Lisbon as you can in ONE DAY on our epic walking tour. We take a day trip to Lisbon, Portugal from where we are house sitting in Nazaré and see as much of the city as we can by taking Tram 28 and then walking to all of the must see sights of central Lisbon in 10 hours.
It is possible to see a lot of this beautiful city in one day. Come with us as we take Ma and Gaz on a Frugal Travellers tour of Lisbon and get the most out of this city in a short time.

Thank you so much, Tamara. We love Lisbon too and I think we made 5 or 6 videos from the first time we were there for 11 days. There really is a lot to see and do. We thought for this one we could see what we could squeeze into a day trip as so many people do only visit for one day. It's such a vibrant place. I could just keep going back again and again. 😍 ~ Lee

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

@@joaorobalo9353 As it is a one off €0.50 cost for the card, it still works out less expensive than paying cash on the tram, for example. Most transport systems around the world charge for a card, only a few provide a card for free. ~ Mandy

@joaorobalo9353 Год назад

@@FrugalTravellers the same every where you go, the card is cheaper than paying in cash to the driver, a return ticket is cheaper than a single ticket. In Portugal you pay 50 cents for the Viva Card and then you will need to top up the Viva card for tram, train, boat, etc. The travel pass is even cheaper than Viva card. There are some offers if you travel in group. At the end the travel cost is expensive. But if you are over 60's, the bus is free of charge even at UK. At UK you can get a refund for the travel card that you purchased. At Portugal there is no refund for the Viva Card which it's bad for the tourists.

@@joaorobalo9353 We found the public transport system to be very reasonably priced. I know the one-month pass is even better value, and is a great way to keep people using public transport rather than cars. We love trams and it's always so much fun to be in a city that has them! ~ Mandy

@LuisSantos-us1ww Год назад

Lisbon is indeed a wonderful town. I live and I work (finaly I was able to work as teacher in my hometown after many years in different places in the country) here and I find it amazing every time I walk in the streets. It was also great to see how you made this epic 10 hours walking tour in Portugal main town. Unfortunaley and after the pandemic Lisbon is very crowded and you have lots of queues to reach some spots and you have to be very patient.... If you want to skip the line to get the 28 tramline you have to get to Chiado (outside the metro station) and wait there and made all the way to Prazeres stop and then, made all the way back to Martim Moniz.. Thank you for the video. Cheers.

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Hi Luís. Thanks for your comment and the good advice about how to beat the queues form tram 28. Everyone seems to want to start at Martim Moniz so the queue there is so long. It makes very good sense to start in Chiado. When we rode it the first time, it was empty because it was early in COVID times. Although they still made us get off the tram at Prazeres and take the next one back. What a wonderful journey it is and what a wonderful city too. You must be proud to call it home. 👍😊 ~ Lee

@LuisSantos-us1ww Год назад

@@FrugalTravellers you have that option or to get the tram 25 (leaves from Praça da Figueira) to Prazeres and then, get the 28 there. Be aware, that this tram only from Monday to Friday; so, in the weekend you have to get the bus 774 in the same direction. Cheers.

Hi Mandy and Lee, thank you for a whirlwind tour of Lisbon, one of my favourite cities in the world. It certainly wasn't my favourite city on April 25, 1974 when I got caught up in the Carnation Revolution. The Portuguese military in Lisbon were not so friendly to me but I have learned for forgive and love but never forget considering the political circumstances.

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Wow. You really experienced a crucial moment in the history of Portugal being there during the carnation revolution. We've seen many images of the events on the streets of Lisbon on that day but couldn't imagine the experience of seeing it first hand. My travel strategy is to try and avoid the military wherever we go which isn't easy in some places. I'm glad you survived to tell the tale and that Portugal has improved for the better. 😊 ~ Lee

What is the value of having a SIM card for the country you are visiting instead of using your data plan from home? Can you text internationally and make phone calls and use data with a Portuguese SIM card? Any info you can share would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Shirley. Thank you for your great question. We have one Portuguese SIM and it's from Lycamobile. We actually ordered it online and had it posted to one of our housesits, but I have seen some Lycamobile stores around. We don't make international phone calls with either our UK SIM or our Portuguese SIM. We use WhatsApp or failing that, we have money on a Skype account. That way we can have the least expensive Pay As You Go plans, and we use them mainly for data. I hope this is helpful to you. Please let us know if you have any other questions, and hopefully either we can help or one of the other viewers will be able to provide local information.

@stephenjarzombek2903 Год назад

My research for our trip to Lisbon and Porto revealed a hack to get to the top of Santa Justa lift, avoiding the queue and saving some cash. If you are at the top of the stairs around the lift, you need only walk less than 10 meters north (downhill) on R. do Carmo and look to your left for a shop across the street with an elevator at the back. That free elevator takes you up to the Carmo convent ruins, from which you climb a couple flights of stairs to the "bridge". It's free to walk on the bridge, and only another €1.50 if you want to climb the stairs to the platform on top of the lift.

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing this great hack, Stephen! If we'd had more time, we would have loved to have gone up to see the spectacular view from the Santa Justa lift, but we were racing to get to the renowned bifana place, which ended up being sold out anyway! We will definitely keep this in mind for the next time we're in beautiful Lisbon! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy 😀😁

@stephenjarzombek2903 Год назад

Unfortunately, the elevator in that shop seems to be out of order, so we walked south toward the river, then west one block, then back north. The hill is more manageable on foot than one might think. The deck on the very top of the lift was closed due to rain and wind, but it the level where one exits the lift was still open for free.
