The 3 BEST Christmas Markets near Lisbon , Portugal!

[@Mr.S65]

The Christmas markets in Bavaria are excellent. The market in Strasbourg, France is also beautiful.

[@Changinghandlename]

Respectfully, I am so jealous 😭 I hope I can save up to move to Portugal one day 😊🇵🇹

[@comradepidgeon3094]

Careful, unfortunately you're not the only one who thought about that and thanks to rich foreigners buying property in Lisbon and other cities, rents have skyrocketed

You hit my favourite 3 as well! The first time I spent a day in Lisboa, it was the 19th of December and my friend (Portuguese) walked me around the whole of old Lisbon... and we hit both those markets. Beside the markets, it was just incredibly beautiful - lights absolutely everywhere! Óbidos is my very favourite. I was taking Portuguese lessons there, twice a week and after class I'd wander around. You were absolutely right Michelle, it's a wonderful village and the best place to buy gifts and wonderful Christmas ornaments. I didn't go into the children's village but just wandering the streets every week was magical enough for me. I'd say I spent an equal amount of time in Óbidos, over my 3 months in Portugal, as I did every place else, combined. :)

We really do love just walking around and seeing the lights everywhere!

So much to take in! A gingerbread man dancing alone in a room. A picture of a deer in thigh high socks and high heels. That marionette show! But overall it looks so incredible and the decor in that last market is so cute!

Very nice video. I enjoyed watching it. It's nice to see Xmas festivities in other cultures. Thks.

[@tamaramadelin4831]

Cascais is fun and festive as well! We spent the weekend in Rossio and LOVED it!! Will go to Obidos and Parque Eduardo soon...Thanks for the great info!!!

[@louisrios5546]

We'll be spending a few days in Lisbon during the Christmas holiday season, so this is very helpful! Michelle and Dan, come hang out with us! 🙂

I, how you doing? its a bit out of the way, you need to fly, but Madeira Island all year round, but at Christmas, is phenomenal, magical, really worst the money spent. Enjoy your time back home (US) have a nice Christmas/new year with family and friends.

[@HoneymoonAlways]

Thank you Tony! We hope to come to Madeira in the spring time. Maybe one year for Christmas time since flights are so cheap.

Thanks 👍

We live here as-well in Lisbon and appreciate your videos. My favorite European Christmas Market is in Tallinn Estonia . It’s also inside a Medieval City. Stay in the old town in a flat that has a Sauna is super awesome in the Cold weather. Enjoy🌲⭐️🌲

[@HoneymoonAlways]

Added to our list!

[@Tourabunga]

WOW! you guys really uncovered some excellent Christmas spots. Nice! Your video really has such a wonderful Christmas spirit to it. Happy holidays to you both!

[@ADITYAARTACADEMY]

So really Beautiful market and awesome 👍🙏 Take care and stay in touch 👍🙏🙏

[@madtingz2288]

I’m going to Lisbon at the end of November, im so excited about the Christmas markets but have no idea what to wear! Some people say it’s still pretty warm at that time of year then some people say it’s cold! 😂😅

[@HoneymoonAlways]

It really does depend on the year, just check the weather before you go. November doesn’t usually get too cold

[@madtingz2288]

@@HoneymoonAlways thank you!

[@K.Renee_517]

Oh Wow that was great and yes beautiful Thanks

Ice tubing! 😍😍😍

Hi Guys. Thanks for the awesome content. I'm lucky enough to be heading your way in March thanks to some of your great info that's helped a bunch! I'm assuming that long term you might want to apply after 5 years for permanent residence? It would be great if you could make a video that nails down the duration commitments to how long you need to be in Portugal per year for the whole process. I've heard different information online, anything from 6-8 months per year. I don't know if the the first 4 months on the D7 counts towards any of that? I also don't know if the residency visa allows you to travel through the EU as if you were still living in Portugal for the purposes of the residency. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. All the best from the UK!

[@christiemeginniss5002]

Hi! I plan to be in Portugal from late August through Thanksgiving of this year. Do you remember when the decorations & markets show up in and around Lisbon? Hoping to experience some of that holiday magic while I’m there!

[@sarahgarcia1674]

Budapest & Prague Advent Fairs

[@johngoncalves]

The Christmas market in Gamla Stan, Stockholm Sweden is the best, genuine Christmas market I know

[@HoneymoonAlways]

Hopefully we can make it that way next year!

[@HoneymoonAlways]

Where is your favorite Christmas market??

[@JenShea]

Óbidos!!

[@tamaramadelin4831]

Love Obidos in general so we will be going there in the next week!! Thanks for the info!!

[@rachelkieffer8707]

That is so wonderful! Is the market that is an hour away accessible by public transportation or do you need a car?

[@HoneymoonAlways]

We took a car but the train gets you there too

[@sutapabaksi9152]

Could you please tell me if we visit one week prior to Christmas , will we be able see any Christmas market?

[@zoeschneider4152]

Germany has the best Christmas markets in Europe, especially in Bavaria.

[@ilianai.2931]

Hi Michelle! We’re currently working remotely from Lisbon, thanks for these videos! :) We saw that the obidos market requires tickets and also covid testing (even if you’re fully vaccinated) - wondering how the free testing process went for you and if Wonderland lisboa requires it? Thanks so much!

[@HoneymoonAlways]

Hi Iliana, the Obidos market does not require a test if you are vaccinated so we didn't have to deal with any testing, just showed our digital vaccination pass.

[@ilianai.2931]

@@HoneymoonAlways Awesome, they changed the rules back!! Thank you so much, we’re heading there today :)

[@cayman271]

When do the markets start in Lisbon ?

[@maggielogan9309]

We just went to Obidos last week on a tour so we had transportation. How did you get there? We definitely want to go next December so I’m wondering if the train goes there. We don’t have a car.

[@maggielogan9309]

Also the Dark chocolate filled with Ginja was so good. 😊

[@messycook]

So will there be a 2022 Edition? Curious if you went to the Sintra Christmas Market. 🎄

[@HoneymoonAlways]

We haven’t been to the Sintra one yet
