Must See Areas To Explore - Lisbon Travel Guide

[@jfdbcpv1983]

I am from Lisbon and all I can say is: really good review and awesome editing - this channel should have way more subscribers!

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thanks! I hope we did your city justice!

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

Wow, I’m going to Portugal in June and this is the best video I’ve seen on Lisbon! You guys are amazing, funny, impeccable presentation, informative, great job! I was a little confused by the different neighborhoods, this is perfect. As a solo traveler, I really appreciate that you considered the safety factor 😊

[@TravelsInSpace]

Holy crap this is the nicest comment we have ever gotten!!! Thank you, I am glad you found it helpful! You will love the city, it is one of our absolute favorites!

[@lailaatallah1857]

Incredibly well done and informative. It’s just the information I was looking for. I can’t imagine how many hours this must have taken you two. Another criteria many of us look for is how noisy the streets are during the day, but especially at night, for sleeping.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Hey thanks! Hope it helps. Also, the only areas that get loud at night are Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodre, and even then it is not too bad.

[@lailaatallah1857]

@@TravelsInSpace Thanks so much!

[@StephanieDOfficial]

I’ve watched so many videos and this right here is exactly what I was looking for. Doing a solo trip there in a few months and trying to figure out accommodations. Huge thank you for this informative and quality video!

[@TravelsInSpace]

Glad it helped!! You will have a blast in Lisbon, make sure to eat the egg tarts (pasteis de nata)!!!

[@TheresaofTheWorld]

Where did u end up staying? I’m going next month…considering intemedente or something like that…

[@123starthere]

Great video!

[@vickie3237]

This is Great Information. Thank you

[@lenakogan1569]

It is a great overview of neighborhoods - very informative! Awesome job - thank you very much!

[@Vanloves2travel]

This is, by far, the most helpful information I have seen on a breakdown of the main neighborhoods of interest to tourists to Lisbon. It has definitely helped me narrow down the area in which I would prefer to stay. I’m a fan and have subscribed to your channel!

[@ByDaviddessine]

Hello , thanks for this excellent visit see you later my friend have a good day 👋 👍

[@MariahAlvarado-k3e]

Fantastic video

[@hindalfalahi3559]

I wish I can give you more than one like, watching this and your other videos on portogal , just a week before going there for the first time there is a relief . Thank you very much for putting me in the picture before Go

[@nathalienurse3336]

Excellent video love when you show where the areas are at the end. Going back again this year, and lodging in a different area……….🤗🇨🇦

[@pranavchandrasekhar6454]

Great video - especially your map-based summary at the end.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thank you! Hopefully on future videos we'll have better maps.

Thank you so much for all this great information about the places to stay in Lisbon., I'm going to visit the city next month and definitely this guide helps a lot.

This is what I’ve been looking for! A comprehensive travel guide!

[@justme6275]

great info and even better at the end of the video when you showed a map and names of the neighborhood ☺

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thank you!

[@morelandangela5]

Great video; very informative. This was GREAT for a first time visit.... money, safety, tourism and food!!!

[@luisramos1609]

Very informative. One thing you may want to add in the future is access to parks/gardens. Warning: There can be robberies, sometimes involving violence in the pink street area.

[@Nateso_blessed]

This video was very informative and well done. This channel should have way more subscribers.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Hey thanks! It is still early, we are going with a "build it and they will come" approach.

[@photographlisbon]

Nicely done! There are other interesting neighborhoods for the part II! Hope you had a great time here in Lisbon! Always welcome back.

[@majoe255]

awesome pics, congrats @travels in space

[@deemm1265]

Nice video, thinking about visiting Lisbon and maybe Porto in Feb. If I may make a suggestion, maps of the districts/neighborhoods would have be welcomed.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Glad you liked it and solid point! We are working on doing better maps for future videos. Hope you end up going, the city is a blast!

[@kameelaheverglow]

New subbie here. Glad I saw your channel before you all blew up...in a good way. Your editing is dope! 💜

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thank you, hope you find them helpful! I think you're really going to enjoy your time there!

[@drperfect07]

Hi this is a great video. I’m going in a few days and I still don’t have accommodations because i’m so confused about where I should stay tats close to everything but economical. What about Algés???? How is this neighborhood?

[@TravelsInSpace]

@@drperfect07 Algés is a bit further out so you will definitely need to rely on mass transit to get into a lot of the areas in the city center. Other than that, the area is fairly chill and pretty local, should also be a bit cheaper.

[@thebrownknowser]

Really good breakdown of Lisbon's core. My wife and I will be visiting in September and this gives us a great summary of the neighbourhoods that we're considering.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Glad it was helpful, I think you both will have a great time, it is a super rad city!

[@sadmanbec2]

Which neighbourhood have you been thinking?

[@Lordghad]

This channels a good find obrigado!

[@killerqueen1148]

Great video and so well done...I was just in Lisbon and can't wait to go back. I'll watch this video again when I do go back for a refresher. Thanks so much!

[@mrhaha1980]

Great video. Very informative.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thank you! The whole city is a blast, I don't think you could go wrong anywhere.

[@eacreal]

For me, a local, I find your perceptions very acute and accurate. However, some your borders are a little sketchy. We don't consider Estrela as part of Principe Real (Rua de S. Bento is the western border) You should do Campo de Ourique, Campolide, Avenidas Novas, Alvalade and Marvila. The next circle, a little out from the centre.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thanks for the suggestions! When we circle back to Lisbon we will definitely check those areas out. And yeah, the map borders are a bit ambiguous since we weren't 100% sure where the exact lines were.

[@johnf1059]

Hi I’m goin to Lisbon in June staying in Santos, how would you compare Santos to the other districts..is there a metro in Santos?

[@eacreal]

@@johnf1059 Santos is now a vibrant area populated by a lot of expats. Impeccable alternative taste mixed with old local vibe. Once the 'Lisbon Design District' it is now an interesting indy zone. The epicenter is the road crossing between Rua de S. Bento and Calçada da Estrela.. The closest Metro station is Cais de Sodré, a flat 10 min walk from Santos centre.

[@johnf1059]

@@eacreal That’s great thanks looking forward to that now...

Thank you for watching it and commenting! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@juliannelord4568]

thank you! great information

[@bomcabedal]

Important addition to Alfama: if you're a light sleeper, forget about it. It's a very noisy neighborhood (and the narrow alleyways and streets don't help, acoustically), and will remain so until well into the night.

[@sabbydoux4911]

This video is so, so good!

[@TravelsInSpace]

Glad you liked it, hope it helps!

[@joelsiegfried8760]

Excellent! Just what I want to know. I will be seeking out more of your videos. Great job! Cheers, Joel

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thanks, hope it helps!

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

Would love for you or anyone do a top 5 rooftop bars! Great video and lots of information. Thanks

[@TravelsInSpace]

Ooooo that's a solid idea, it is on the list for when we circle back to Lisbon!

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

@@TravelsInSpace lol well I hope you post it this week because I’ll be there next week. I sure many people will enjoy seeing a list of them. Thank you!

[@TravelsInSpace]

Unfortunately we won't be back for a bit, we are making our way east (in Croatia at the moment), BUT - I can heartily recommend the V Rooftop Bar in Principe Real - it is a little pricey but the views, and the cocktails, are amazing. For a non-rooftop bar, our favorite was Boutique Taberna in Alfama - it is tiny, has a smaller selection, and a more local flair but has lovely staff and has seating in a large stairwell in the heart of Alfama, really cool atmosphere.

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

@@TravelsInSpace thank you for the places you mentioned!!!

[@uwegrauert7680]

Thank you for the information. I think we visit ist 👍

[@dbltime]

Great video. Liked your use of categories to highlight important aspects of traveling. What are your thoughts on Rossio? Thanks.

[@rupalsaraiya9480]

We are visiting during Christmas. Hope it’s worth it.

[@stephaniealbright8124]

I needed this. I'm going in September. What about Alvalade and Belem?

[@TravelsInSpace]

We never got out yo Alvalade but Belem was neat. A little touristy but still cool.

[@NinA-rb4bo]

Hi traveling there with a 2yo soon, which neighborhood do you think would be best for a familly with a toddler? Thanks

[@TravelsInSpace]

Principe Real would be probably the best as it is easily walkable and fairly chill/relaxed.

[@NinA-rb4bo]

@Travels In Space Thank you for the revommandation! Excited to visit

[@toddboothbee1361]

I guess Belem is barely a part of Lisbon. I was looking for a hotel there, as I'm not much for bars, etc. Much of what I want to see is in that area.

[@ede4345]

I been looking at Airbnb and every place is so expensive , is their a different platform they use to in Europe to find a place to stay in?

[@KumiSamuel-k3v]

What about Belem as a neighbourhood to stay in

[@morelandangela5]

Can you do one of these for Porto, please

[@TravelsInSpace]

Unfortunately, when we were in Porto Josh got suuuper sick so we didn't get to explore as much to make one of these. We might do one when we circle back to Portugal (we are in eastern Europe at the moment to reset our Schengen timer).

[@trishcaron8615]

@@TravelsInSpace Was hoping to find one on Porto, too. My husband and I (late 40's) are going in July and looking for a comfortable, safe, convenient area to stay. Do you have any suggestions...?

[@TravelsInSpace]

@@trishcaron8615 I do! First area is a little farther from the old town/downtown but still within walking distance: the neighborhood around Monumento aos Heróis da Guerra Peninsular. Super chill, very local, very safe. Second area is directly in downtown, still very safe, but has a lot more energy (and a little more expensive): neighborhood around the Igreja do Carmo. This would be my preferred location as it is in the centre of everything.

[@colinbrown7305]

I'm going to Lisbon in October. I'm staying in the destination hostel, based in Rosario train station. Is this a decent area to stay?

[@TravelsInSpace]

That is a great area - you are right in the middle between avenida da liberdade, baixa, and Principe real. The exact spot is a little touristy but super safe and it will be really easy to get around the whole city since you are right at rossio station.

[@leonli1642]

How do you spell Santa Mero Docks? Doca De Santo Amaro?

[@charliemontholon]

What do you recommend we should do to get data and internet connection in Portugal? Can you call another person using the app Whatsapp? Thanks

[@TravelsInSpace]

Definitely buy a local sim card - MEO or Vodafone are two good carrier choices. You can use the data (which will be substantial IE: 20 or 30 gigs) to make WhatsApp calls - in fact, most of Europe uses WhatsApp pretty regularly from what we can tell.

[@NasirUddin-nd7ry]

I want to stay Rossio or Martin Moniz area what u didn’t mentioned

[@TravelsInSpace]

Those aren't really separate neighborhoods, those are both squares that are quite close to each other. They would both fall under Avenida da Liberdade or baxia/chiado.

[@MrAnastasiya86]

I found Alfama very dirty and not safe even during a day. The city center is to crowded. But I don't know that barrio name, from Take Out Market same blocks away, there are a lot of hotel , same bar, same restaurantes. Very nice and safe.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Alfama I think is an acquired taste. Khat and I loved it but I can totally understand some people not liking it.

[@willimacdo]

Loved the content. The music while you are speaking is very irritating for me. But hey that may just be me.

[@TravelsInSpace]

Thanks, and totally understand about the music! We're still trying to get better with our audio mixes.

[@willimacdo]

@@TravelsInSpace thank u for Yr response. This way of having constant background music is very common to travel vids on youtube. Why is it done this way? Do u know?

[@TravelsInSpace]

@@willimacdo It helps keep the energy up through the video, stops it from getting stale or boring. The trick is to find a good balance with it, which is a struggle.

[@willimacdo]

@@TravelsInSpace Oh I see, as to the balance that can be a matter of mind, where you aren't going to please everyone. For me I like to concentrate on what's been said and shown, to move into the that space, so for me, often, the background music is intrusive.

[@parosib4439]
