I just returned from my first trip to Portugal. What a country! So much history and culture. The Portuguese people are warm, welcoming and oh, so nice and friendly. Lisbon is magical! and Porto mesmerizing! I left my heart in Portugal, but I shall return!

[@andrepinheiro17]

Hello C N I thank you from the heart for those kind words, I have the conviction that you will always be well received. A big hug from Portugal

Thank you for great and informative video. Visited Lisboa last year, and it's my favourite city in Europe. Didn't hear about Camoes before, but Pessoa is translated to Estonian too, and if correctly remembered - his 'Ode Maritime' was quite good reading :)

[@roshanunwalla108]

Excellent video, informative and beautifully shot! Does total justice to Lisbon, the queen of all cities - majestic but warm! Been there thrice, can’t wait to go again . . . .

So pleased to read you enjoyed my video of Lisbon, thank you for the comment.

Yep, no other city in Western Europe is older than Lisbon, older than it just cities in Greece, but Greece is in the east side of Europe. Many people ignore that Lisbon is such a old city.

[@josemanuelrocha2813]

Lisbon, as well as Portugal and its adjacent archipelagos - Azores and Madeira - is a true lesson of everything that is most noble and beautiful on the face of the Earth. Here you can find the light and the unmistakable colors, the sparkling waters that surround the whole city, the sumptuous and unique monuments and culture, the wonderful sun that shines here like nowhere else, the absolute charm and harmony in the music that is World Heritage, the voice and writing of the greatest poets belonging to the very rich and incomparable Portuguese Language. As if all this were not enough, there is also an honorable people, welcoming, warm, sensitive, educated, intelligent, rich in human values, honest and full of tolerance, kindness, pacifism, understanding which accepts without any kind of racism or selection, all other foreign peoples. Do not forget that the Portuguese are the absolute masters in international relations because they were the first Europeans to reach the four corners of the world and more than five centuries ago. A long time ago, we gave new worlds to the World, now it's time for the whole World start to meet us and visit our beautiful country. So everyone is welcome!

[@kulturfreund6631]

I don’t think that Portugal is the absolute master of international relations because of having been present at many places centuries ago. I think that Portugal isn’t just very confrontational given its relatively small size. Sweden for instance hasn’t been a nation of discoverers or colonialism at all and she plays a very important role in brokering and supporting all kinds of progressive and peace related settlements.

[@rickydente3316]

@@kulturfreund6631 that's true. But you can't compare. That's two different countries with different backgrounds.. And, that's also true saying Portugal after the slavery, colonialism, fascism and several other bad things, being so small country, achieved a lot with their diplomacy. Worldwide..

[@UncleWally3]

Amazing! No tsunamis of tourists, not one poor person begging for money, no rampant graffiti, no tour buses and taxis squeezing honking horns and squeezing through congestion; not even one restaurant or shop intrusively hawking their products! The camera even passed right beside where I just vacated and wow . . . it looks a lot quieter and much cleaner than when I departed two days ago.

[@UncleWally3]

Loved Lisbon, just don’t see the underbelly in the video. Just like photoshopped pictures of people, I prefer the real thing - warts and all.

[@silveriorebelo2920]

[@UncleWally3]

silvério rebelo: Younare probably correct, there are people who know the city much better than I do. However, based on my time there, in both history and culture, I found Lisbon a great city; the underbelly I’m referring to are Air B ‘nB “ghettos” and terrible housing conditions for poor people.

[@mancebo7]

Great video. One minute suggestion for improvement: at 5:06 you display the reference to the Citadel and write "Alcácova", when it's actually spelt "Alcáçova". Graphically the difference is minute but the phonetic implications are a bit more pronounced: the second "c" without the cedille (the little "comma" below the c) would sound "k" ("Alkákova"), when it's really supposed to sound "ss" ("Alkássova"). Sorry if I sound too picky. Just thought you might like to know. Keep up the good work!

Nice video. Lisbon is not the oldest western city but one of the oldest for sure, Athens is much older.Lisbon, once the greatest Europe city, amazing

[@joejourneys]

I stand corrected, thank you, I should have said ‘one of the oldest’, though Athens refers to Southern Europe in some sources but I can see why this can be confusing - both are clearly older than some established cities as stated. - thank you for your comment 😁

[@links2films201]

Athens - Greece , Plovdiv - Bulgaria , Chania and Chalcis - Greece are older than Lisbon but they are not in western Europe , Greece and Bulgaria are southeastern European countries. In culture and genetics the Portuguese are a western European people and Greeks a southern people.

[@luismarques9280]

Don't agree, Greece is a western country and the foundation of the western culture

[@elsacristina9]

Luis Lisboa é a segunda cidade mais antiga da Europa, atrás de Atenas e mais antiga que Roma.

[@Omerath9]

Lisbon is the second oldest capital city in Europe, only behind Athens. If you consider Athens to be in Eastern Europe, then yes, Lisbon is the oldest capital city in Western Europe, but not city.

[@joejourneys]

Thank you for clarifying this and stand corrected. 👍

[@Omerath9]

@@joejourneys My pleasure. All you would need to change, is the title from "oldest city in Western Europe", to "oldest capital city in Western Europe"

I have updated the title to reflect this! Many thanks.

[@LHollan]

JOEJOURNEYS it’s either way right to say eldest city and eldest capital city, outside Greece (which is placed in the east side of Europe) there’s no other city older than Lisbon.

The first and second places have gone to Iceland and New Zealand. - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Peace_Index

slafito44 - Bom, mais provável parece que fossem os fenícios, que já no 1200 antes de Cristo a denominaram Alis Ubbo (“margem deliciosa”), e que estiveram instalados nestas colinas até que chegaram os cartagineses e os gregos, que lhe deram o nome de Olisipo, e depois os romanos, que chegaram no ano 218 antes de Cristo e lhe outorgaram o nome de Felicitas Julia Olisipo. Mas não ache que estes foram seus primeiros habitantes, não: consta a existência de mastodontes na desembocadura do Tajo há milhões de anos, e também de assentamentos nômades, de humanos, da idade da pedra.
