48 Hours in Lisbon, Portugal: First Impressions 🇵🇹

Country #5 is PORTUGAL! Our adventure in Portugal began in its capital city of Lisbon, where we filled our first 48 hours there with fresh Portuguese pastries, delicious seafood, and romantic walks along Lisbon's tiled streets. We quickly gathered a list of our first impressions in Lisbon, as it was quite a change from the past countries we were visiting over in Central and South America. Lisbon was a wonderful dream, to say the least, and we can’t wait to continue our journey throughout more of the country as we get a deeper taste of what Portugal has to offer. 🇵🇹

I got home today after 23 days in Portugal. This makes me want to cry. Lisbon, but the entirety of the country stole my heart

[@tiredoffools8929]

@Sarah Charpentier I know that feeling well. Portugal did that to me too. Good reason to listen to FADO now. :)

[@LizziLori]

Lisbon tends to do that, being born in that city I have to say that everytime that I lived away in other countries in Europe my heart was filled with saudades from my beloved Lisbon. I'm sure you will visit again, hope that when that happens the city treats you nicely once more

[@olibaeta]

hellooo!! just got my first video uploaded, hope you enjoy it

[@nolie9981]

Really glad you enjoyed it!!

[@spacegirl1290]

Wanna switch places, this country is a living tragedy😭🤣

[@andreacarr1506]

Wow my favourite country. I have been to Portugal quite a few times but never to Lisbon. Thank you for a fab video I will definitely be going there . Also only a two and a half hour flight for me 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@ChadandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carlossaraiva8213]

What parts of Portugal you are familiar with? Madeira? Algarve? Those are the most touristy regions. But my country has a lot to show to you. Perhaps you will try other destinations more of the off-beat track? Alentejo is a must.

[@VeraDonna]

😲

[@sandrarebelo8112]

Açores is a must São Miguel island

[@pilot3643]

Lucky!! I live in the pacific northwest in the States, so a flight from here to Portugal is easily a 14 hour flight!

[@angelicaferreira767]

Hey, I’m portuguese and studied in Lisbon for 8 years! You should definitely come again, there’s a lot more to enjoy! Thanks for the video. 🇵🇹

[@dianagomes624]

I advise everyone going to Lisbon, to just walk and walk, everywhere and to every little corner, neighborhood and street. Tourist places are for sure historically important but the magic of this city is in the places, streets, people and food. Go to Alfama, downtown, the river, Chiado, "miradouros", rio Tejo, to the beaches, and so on but do as much as possible. The city has a lot to offer for sure! And at night, bairro alto or some bars near cais do Sodré are great choices

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Your attitude as tourists is one of enthusiasm and very respectul to your host country. You guys set up an excellent example to all travelers. I hope the people who will be inspired to visit my country after watching your videos will bring with them the same level of enthusiasm and happiness.

[@owenthomas5876]

nice comment, they really make the effort to learn a little about their host country and try to have a real authentic experience. best wishes from crete... ps they did the same here in crete and hope they come back

[@rencougzip]

"Live more with less" is such an inspiring consideration. I appreciate that you model this sentiment from dining on sardines to walking the stairs rather than taking the paid lift. The joy is often in the journey. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us! 🙂

[@ChadandClaire]

Well said! Everytime we edit these videos together and add the "Live more with less" at the end it's amazing how it forces us to reflect on how the previous days had gone. Thanks for following along, Greg!

[@holleym2927]

1. THE TILES!!!!! I have a real love of blue and white ceramics of any country, but Portugal has it going on!!!!!!! WOW!!! 2. I have no idea how two small people such as yourselves can eat so much food at one sitting! 3. LOVE, love this vlog! It is a beautiful town made even more beautiful through your eyes! Thanks as always! Safe travels!

[@ChadandClaire]

We always love your enthusiasm Holley! The tiles were like a surprise at every corner! As for the food, we LOVE to eat.

[@olgamarieribs6930]

It is not a Town.. LISBON LISBOA IS THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORTUGAL! Tiles are very traditional and with unique designs in Portugal... you can buy all sorts of souvenirs with patterns in honour of our tiles "azulejos" in Portuguese! Enjoy this lovely country!

[@henriquepinto5941]

Portugal also have Portuguese music. The first song that you post were brasilian song

[@kup6659]

My grandma is portuguese, nice country 🤠👍🏻 I'm scottish

[@victoriac3823]

Ah, I miss the egg tarts from Macau too! The Portuguese architecture in Macau was one of my favorite parts about the island so it's interesting to see it's origins. You two look like you could live in Portugal forever- the colors and patterns there look so stunning.

[@caling98]

I love how you guys take the time to research and learn about the country. I would have never thought to buy sardines. That looks so delicious.

[@themomconnect]

You can tell he loves her. The way he looks at her is with pure love.

[@JP-kr5yi]

Hope you’re having a wonderful time in portugal. I really appreciate how you guys share your artist’s point of view of the places you visit. Tiles = sequins. Can’t wait to see your impressions of Sintra.

[@Blossom7870]

Such a lovely vlog, it really captures the calm and beauty of Lisbon, the photos at the end were stunning.

[@ChadandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@olibaeta]

hellooo!! just got my first video uploaded, hope you enjoy it

[@georgemckinnon7134]

I like the value of initial impressions as well as the highlights of a particular adventure. This not only makes your videos unique, but enhances our enjoyment and excitement right along with you.

[@ChadandClaire]

We are so glad you enjoy! We try to balance information, with first experiences, and it's not always easy, but it's a fun to piece it together!

[@joits]

Brings back such amazing memories of Lisbon, which was my last international trip before the pandemic.

[@olibaeta]

hellooo!! just got my first video uploaded, hope you enjoy it

[@angelaafonso1430]

I'm Portuguese and I'm so honored that you guys liked the trip. Hearing your compliments of Portugal is so heart whelming. I hope you have a good year and if you want to go to Portugal again I can show you another city called Leiria.

[@johnsauve3151]

Finally someone mentions Fado! Carminho is my favorite singer!

[@gracietefreitas3073]

Small notes: sardines you need to eat with bread...please!!! The ginginha you drink as shot. Not with food. Its not a wine. So glad you liked Portugal!!! Thank you!

[@ChadandClaire]

We'll do better next time! :D

It must be my extreme good luck to have got a chance to see such a beautiful video! I was just staring at the video open-mouthed for so long!

[@larrylee522]

Oh you can take a bus to Nazare for the big waves, or go to Algave, down south. Porto is spectacular. Oh yea the worlds longest walking suspension bridge is east of Porto. Hope you guys enjoy your stay

[@LucinaAnjosyy]

Or visit Coimbra, or visit Aveiro and venture out to see the canals that connect the city to the Aveiro estuary and the sea.

[@PostcardAndAPint]

You really do get the most out of everyday and that’s a brilliant philosophy to live by. There’s nothing more satisfying than a day of exploring and living and to be truly tired and worn out from your day. Love you video and love Portugal! Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@jesswood1755]

So thankful to awake to a new video best way to start my day ,thanks guys

[@mtnlayde01]

Wow!!!!! You two make it look soo easy to hop from country to country. It’s got to take so much planning. Great video as always 👍

We definitely do a lot of planning! It makes our time a lot more enjoyable that way.

Not even me from Portugal knew about the story of pasteis de nata and its 1st bakery, i just eat them like everyone else, people that come from other countries are very interested about our culture and ofc food, but for us is something that is normal and some dont understand why "foreigners" are amazed by Portugal, but i agree Portugal is something amazing even though is small thank you for visiting us :)

A little factoide, the Portuguese introduce the egg tart to Asia so, when you say you tried the Cantonese egg tart they are actual and adaptation of Portuguese one

Hey guys! Thank you for sharing my beloved home country and city. Please came back in June when there is a Saint festival all the streets in the historic center are decorated, we have music and the famous sardines are sell on the streets, just grilled with salt and we eat it with bread.

Have fun guys. I was there in my late 20s back in 2000s. Great architecture. You may want to go on a port wine tour. It will be pricey but surely worth it as its unique to Portugal. Not sure, but there likely is bull fighting (obviously highly controversial). Spain has it as well. The scalped tickets were $200 when I was there. Have fun!

Claire & Chad, another wonderful video. Just loves those familiar food that you had and it is from the Original country. I'm talking about those delectable Portuguese Egg tart's. We have it here in Malaysia too. I'm sure it taste extra good when in Portugal. I can literally hear those layers of crunchy goodness and all those crumbs on the tables ... Haha.. lol... It would be great to know prices of whatever you've tried and come across... Because we travel through your eyes and videos. Knowing prices and what to expect would be helpful... Thanks again for a wonderful videos! Take care and stay safe and healthy. Cheers!!! 😄👍

[@aaronroberts7084]

Beautiful place, looks calm. Every time I seen or heard Sardines I thought of "Swallow Falls " ( Cloudy with a chance of meatballs )😄

[@ChadandClaire]

I just rewatched a clip from cloudy with a chance of meatballs on KZbin and it's absolutely perfect haha. When everyone realized "Sardines are gross" the cannery goes broke.

[@aaronroberts7084]

@@ChadandClaire hahahaha, great movies those 2, we watched so many times now.

[@piedaderudman6043]

Another beautiful and very enjoyable video. I would like to say that the drink you had with the canned sardines called Ginginha, is a liquor and not wine. Hence the sweetness. 😁 There is a castle on the top called Castelo de S Jorge. With beautiful views to Lisbon and the river Tejo. Hope you'll be able to visit. Keep exploring! 😁👍

[@Cassetrop]

Try Manteigeira for natas. That "Polvo à Lagareiro" is really not what is should, there's no brocoli in that recipe and potatoes usually are crushed for the taste of oil and polvo to go in. Try to avoid tourist traps, go to restaurants where locals are eating and mostly have Portuguese only menus, not always easy and a little intimidating but well worth it!

We did the same things you did when we were in Lisbon, and we were there at about the same time. Too bad we didn't run into you! One thing I would definitely add is to take the 28 trolley, which starts from a sort of Chinatown at Martim Moniz and goes thru Alfama and then the Barrio Alto, where you can find the best pastel de nata at Manteigaria.
