Sintra: Fairytale Day Trip from Lisbon, Portugal! 🇵🇹 

As Portuguese, I must say is a delight to see your enjoyment! Quick tips: 1) Quinta da Regaleira is a landmark, and it's something kids in most of the country visit as school trip, since is the set of "Os Maias" from the great Eça de Queirós; 2) Santo António Festival is not about the sardines, is the celebration of Saint António, normally known as the "Matchmaker Saint", and also the celebration of Summer, with all the goods it brings, like sardines! Looking forward to see the rest of your videos and congrats for the great work! :)

We have to go back to Sintra. We were on a tour in 2019 so we visited places according to the tour. You show us there is much more to explore. We plan to visit Portugal again and your vlog confirms it. We love Portuguese coffee, pastries, seafood, potato dishes... Also, English is commonly used so it is easy for English speaking tourists.

I had never considered Portugal as a top destination but ever since your last video it immediately rose to the top!! Happy for you two ❤ oh! And every time Chad smiles from enjoying a coffee or something else delicious it's so precious to watch because that is exactly what life is about. The little things 🌠

I have now added Portugal on my bucket list because of this video. ;)

New viewer here! Love Sintra and more importantly Portugal...Moved to Lisbon 4 months ago! Iberico is the best of the best...Discovered it in Spain and we often splurge on it! Thanks for the great video!!

One of the many reasons I love your content is your openness to trying new food. I watch a lot of travel vlogs and as soon as someone says something like "well I don't eat X"--other than if it is a lifestyle choice or an allergy--I'm like NEXT. But you're just like: canned fish! Yes! Octopus? Sure! I love it.

Those blue and white tiles at your breakfast spot were beautiful!!! Sintra seems like an amazingly beautiful place to explore. Especially seeing it in those wonderful drone shots!!! Good job, Chad! I can't believe you carried that drone around all day-thank you!

Man! Those caves are like stepping back through history; and Claire's culinary expertise always makes me hungry for something different.

Another Epic. Tremendous video 👍👍. You made me and TienTien (the panda) very very very hungry 🤤 🤤 You started and ended with food (Loving your pork ham with acorn flavor). And I stuffed with amazing food just watching it. All the food looked so delicious. TienTien is very envy of you two, with so many delicious food to try and eat. With the cheapest options but the best food and story behind them. I love the drone shots (Chad great job); how to you do it. Do you need a license or permit to take these out if world shot. Claire you have mastered the walk and 360 spin shots and very nice perm. I love the you guys swing holding hands shots. And the Sinatra Church, Castle, inverted tower, caves and ponds looks so enchanting. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Portugal and it’s will be on my bucket list for sure. Stay safe and healthy. Can’t wait to see your next video.

Going to Portugal in two months and this video made me even more excited. :)

obrigado pela visita voltem sempre serão sempre bem vindos ao nosso país sorte um abraço de Portugal

Really loved this video as it brings back menu of my trip to Peña. What an amazing place. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You for sharing your beautiful day. I love,love, love the sun glasses..😎 Take care you 2, I truly enjoy Watching your travels….From CALIFORNIA ❤️

Amazing video . I'm so jealous I love Portugal wish I was there 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Amazing Colorful Adventure ❤️❤️

Absolutely loved Sintra when we were there last April during our Road Trip up the coast of Portugal. It is truly a fairy tale! Great video, thank you for sharing your day ~ Debbie and Stijn

That was a fantastic video guys..thank you.

thanks for💟 showing us Sintra Portugal

Planning a trip to Lisbon in May and loving your video. Much love from Alberta, Canada!

Enjoy to the max.

Hi Chad and Clare, great videos! I am sad because while Pena and Quinta da Regaleira are both beautiful places to visit (and Pena is very impressive and beautiful) you missed the more historically and architecturally significant palace in Sintra, the Palacio da Vila. It would have been worth the wait (which since covid have not been that long). While Pena is a XIX century romantic castle (nothing there is original, except the inner courtyard, which is XVI century Manuelin, a form of late gothic, the original convent, everything else is a romantic interpretation of medieval styles), the Palacio da vila is very architecturally significant as a Medieval (XIII century) palace, that enjoyed several add ons and sports a number of architectural and historically significant firsts: the first garden on a european palace (yes not very impressive but it was the first due to muslim influence, but has a small corner with a primitive form of air conditioning, micro water sprays to keep cool in the summer), Mudejar art (muslim art and architecture after the reconquista), the first tyles in Portugal (which is very famous for tyles, in fact I recommend visiting the tyle museum at Madredeus in Lisbon, also very impressive), the Manuelin wing and much more! I hope you can return and visit it some time in the future! Also he wasn't a member of the Knights Templar, the Knights Templar were a religious order that was very important in the founding of Portugal and the Reconquista, and became the largest landowner in Portugal. Because of that when it was extinguished, by the machinations of a French king who wanted to take it's wealth, the Portuguese King lobbied the Pope to turn the Portuguese Chapter into a new order, the Order of Christ, who would become very influential in the discoveries (that is why its symbol, the Cross of Christ is used as a symbol of Portugal, especially in the navy and air force). Tomar, the headquarters is another place you would love to visit. The secret society that is represented throughout Regaleira is FreeMasonry (not as exciting as a secret knights templar, but very influential in the XIX and early XX century in Portugal). Enjoy your travels and keep safe!

Another great video as usual and this time everything looks and taste like fancy. It gives me this feeling of grandiose. Good to see all the castles caves ornate structures and its crazy to see how close the car passing by almost knock over your grilled sardines. Love to see the food octopus, fish, salads, pastries etc. Now I'm craving for the pastry you had for breakfast time to go find some here lol. Love you two and god bless your journey

Great Day Out 😍😋👍🏽👍🏽

Loved both places you visited, that inverted tower was amazing. Again, I love how you explain things as you experience them, it's like we are traveling with you. Thanks for sharing

so happy tha you decided Sintra to visit...love ur vlogs keep going

Bom dia meus amigos! It's been so fun watching you guys travel through the home country

Another good video. I follow other travel vloggers and you two really are the best in terms of your care putting together and editing your videos. Good job, and looking forward to continue to follow your travels.

GREAT videos you guys!

I always enjoy watching your videos. Great content.

next time you go to Sintra, please don't miss Piriquita! It's a traditional bakery that has the famous travesseiro de Sintra and queijadas de sintra! both amazing and TO DIE FOR! Travel safe!

I absolutely love when you guys talk about food, it adds such an amazing difference between your travel vlogs and some of the others I watch!! Plus i love food just as much as you guys do! hahah

I'll be there in March I am so excited to copy your adventure!

so nice to see you guys in my little village

It is Kale ! hummm Caldo Verde, so yummy ! Thank you for your videos!

These are excellent videos. Great production and content. I’m very impressed. Keep up the great job.

So gale to see a new video was feeling down and out till i saw the new video was out thanks so much for sharing our life with me

Ha, cool made the same trip two weeks ago! Beautiful Sintra, nice to see you enjoyed it so much!

YOU ARE GREAT. OBRIGADO.

The food looked delicious.

nice tour

I live close to the castle 30 minutes trip and I can see this beauty every month🤩

Hi! Although I live in England, Sintra is my home county town and I must say you've shown it beautifully! Pity you didn't visit the castle and the village palace. Hope you'll go back again as there is loads to visit. One beautiful place which is a must visit is "Moinho Dom Quixote" restaurant/snack bar. This place is a converted Windmill on the other end of the hill, extremely exquisite and has stunning views to the coastal beaches and the Atlantic sea. You'd have to take an Uber or hire a car. Well worth it!!

Just started following you. Love your spirits!

U guyz rocked this one🌝

Great vlog we are off to Lisbon end of march.thank you from sunny Bristol UK.😊

Amazing video!! Portugal is definitely high on our list and this video makes us want to visit even more!!

You guys are very energetic and do your research very well, good luck 🍀

Thank you for another fabulous Video. You truly are a sweet and relaxed couple.

Haven't even got into the video yet and you made me laugh so hard... YOu say Bon Dia like a Brazillian... Bon GHia =) I love it!!! and glad to see the food you ate for last dinner... some of the classic bests

🥰❤️🥰❤️ love u guys. Support from Malaysia

🙋🏽‍♀️Hiiiiiiii Both You 💗❤️❕It’s such a beautiful day out WOOOOOOOOW ☀️. ENJOY and please stay safe 😷😷🧼. Much Love from the DMV💗

Ugh this makes us miss Portugal so much! Loved the video y’all! Have never tried octopus though so need to try that for sure 😊

Nice video. You are a wonderful couple! Fado is not a music for youth, and probable is for that reason, that right after you put a brazilean song. :) i love both!

I was just there when you uploaded this video, lol

I was in Sintra in May 2019. We walked to all the castles and didn’t use any buses. I like traveling during the shoulder seasons because there are less crowds and you still have plenty of daylight. Also, shoulder seasons are never too hot or too cold.

Haha hopping the wall near at the bottom garden to exit is exactly what we had to do too, along with everyone else around us. Seeing you guys go through it made me laugh

Just like that you guys enjoyed my little corner of the world... Relocated to Sintra a few years ago and never looked back... One small clue: you guys explored about 20% of what the Sintra region has to offer 😉👍🏾 great video, cheers

Hehe, I could see my apartment building through the train window as you were on your way to Sintra.

WOW!!! This was a really great video. The castles and views are gorgeous. When you guys were eating dinner on the street , was crazy to see how close cars come to the tables You two are such an amazing young couple and love watching all your videos. 💕 Been watching since your van life I learn a lot of what’s out there in the world through your eyes and really appreciate it. 🥰 Can’t wait for your next video. 🙂

Me encantó el video, enhorabuena!! Voy en unos días a Lisboa y me habéis dado una muy buena idea con Sintra. gracias!! Por cierto, podéis decirme el nombre de ese bar donde cantaba esa señora??

Lovely to see you guys enjoying Portugal. Note that it's bom dia, not bom djia. I suspect you learned from Duolingo, which teaches Brazilian dialect. In Portugal the language sounds very different.

I feel like im retracing your steps. Headed to Lisbon (from Porto) tomorrow. :)

That's crazy eating on the street with all the exhaust from the cars!

Sintra is a beautiful town, and you are lucky because before the pandemic the town was packed with foreign tourists. I was in downtown Sintra in 2019 and I couldn't even walk in the streets because of the huge amount of people!! Tourism is back again, thankfully for the economy (Sintra without tourists was dead), however still in much lower numbers than before March 2020. TFTV!!!

hi dear, lovely videos. great info, but if you allow me one input, the "caldo verde" is not cabbage, it's collard greens (or kale) and potato soup. Nevertheless, this video was great and I love how you guys experience the local things. I subscribed! Can't wait to more videos! Lia

You should have tried the Sintra pastries, which are called "travesseiros" and "queijadas", these sweets exist in many places but the originals are from pastries called piriquita 1 and piriquita 2

Hi, I tried looking and maybe I missed, but have your guys covered drone regulations for your filming ? Would love to hear any hoops u had to go thru ? Thanks. Loving the channel

Hey! So I know you guys have a donations option on your shop on your site. Have you considered adding a coffee donations option? I’m sure there are tons of people who would love to help you with a coffee fund! Lol 🥰 Having that specific button with a $5 option (or more) would help us feel like we are literally buying you a cup! 🥰

Hi there Chad and Claire I enjoyed the video. Do you recall the name of the bar/restaurant where you Listened to the Fado music?

Hello, what is the name of the restaurant in the narrow street in Lisbon? Thanks !

3:56 FYI D Fernando was king-consort and later regent, after the death of the Queen. He left the Palace and the rest of the Sintra Estate in his will to his last wife, who was an American opera singer ( not very well accepted by Portuguese society because she was both an artist and a single mother). The will was then contested by his son, the King.

Hello! Where did you purchase your tickets to the palace? I’m seeing multiple websites with varying prices. Thank you for your help!

Can you please give us the names of the two restaurants .. I am visiting Lisabon tommorow and that was lovely food

Hi what was the restaurant you went to at the end of the video? Would you recommend it?

The music that you have in background during your lunch is brasilian; you should put Fado and Portuguese real music!!!!

What month and year did you in? Did you have to take a rapid test to enter shops, bars, restaurants and exhibits?

I really liked the video, it's really cool to recognize the places you filmed, I'm Brazilian and I live in Portugal, I've already been to Sintra, but I found the ticket to enter the castles expensive, so I only saw them on the outside, really cool to see them inside on video. I liked the Brazilian songs you put, I don't know if you know they are or not 😂 I have a RU-vid channel, I record some videos, but they are aimed more so my family and friends know how it is here, instead of sending them by message, they can see how places really are.

What's the name of the bar with live fado music?

I found out the (red) chapel was the only structure not harmed in the great EQ of 1755, deemed a miracle!

I find the two of you quite enjoyable, refreshing. YOU SPEND TOO much time on food, food, food. We want to see your experiences, but you eat about 5 times a day? We enjoy your channel.

u shld indicate price of the canned sardines, dinner, fado show etc in USD. Good info for other planners. thanks

Me and my friends were there from 15 to 18, lmao

Guys, please! What is the name of the Fado place?? I'm actually in Lisbon now and would love to check it out. Thank you!! :)

"Portugal is really an amazing country coming from the Philippines .?!"

very quick tip from a native speaker : Bonjia is actually brazilian portugese and not portugal portugese (European Portuguese)

Fado wasn’t inspired it come from our souls and heart it’s in the Portuguese bones!!

Very nice video, just dont eat porco preto with a fork😭, we use our hands😊

I hear you can't film inside the castle and the outside of the castle is much more interesting.

FYI you keep using Brazilian music vs Portuguese music

Damn mate, your video look amazing. You flaunted everything perfectly Beauty lies within videos like yours who everyone from us choose to see.🤍💯💢 If all the beautifull words of the dictionary are mixed togather only then your beauty can be described...... Wonderful upload, keep going your amazing effort🤩😂❤

Watch them there carbs.

Altho the cities are beautiful i advise next time spend more time in the center of portugal, alentejo or even the north part, but stay away of the cities if you're looking for more peaceful areas and probably cheaper food/lodging.

?

Almoost in my country. Netherland (Holland).

Just curious if you are required to wear masks right now there?

15:40 the "ham" is called "presunto"! Although I really hate it XD

I'm sorry but that's a palace not a castle 😁

Brazilian music in a Portuguese video?🤣

Portuguese people dont eat that xD

Lame! Rode a bus there? Get a tuk tuk
