Things to do In Lisbon You've Probably Never Heard Of

Things to do in Lisbon you've probably never heard of. There's plenty of content out there about Lisbon so we wanted to show you some of the cool places we've spotted over the last few months.
We wanted to find some unusual photogenic spots that would look fantastic in photographs and video. The reservoir at Mae da agua didn't disappoint.
Story had lots of fun playing in the music garden in parque das nações and we discover the tallest building in the city and the longest bridge in Europe!
If you enjoy the video please share it too :-)

We are starting to like Lisbon more each time we visit :-) What area should we try next?

[@goncaloferreira1352]

Try Jardim da Estrela

[@Portugal2100]

Try Pilar 7 Experience!

[@antoniodasilva1230]

Carrage museum

[@Jesuscger]

The great palaces: Mafra, Ajuda and Queluz.

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Completely off the tourist trail: try the "Fonte Luminosa" fountain, in "Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques" -- my old neighborhood -- as you seem to enjoy being close to water. It is massive, and very impressive when at full display, particularly when the lights come on. Ditto, for the area around the "Jeronimos Monastery" in Belem, but be prepared for huge crowds, particularly in the Summertime.

[@peggylacroix8601]

what a beautiful and amazing city! Can not wait to visit. Absolutely LOVE Story. What a blessed family.

[@DonnaDiane74]

Somehow this is one of my favorite videos, even though I enjoy them all. The smiles on your faces, Story as bright as ever, and wonderful Lisbon. And Sacha, you look great in your mint green outfit. That color looks really good on you. 💖

[@brianwhite1189]

Wow, what a great day! Really enjoyed this video! Nice to see some new places that I wasn't aware of. And Story is just so adorable and says the most precious things. Always do happy! Seems like you're incorporating new video recording techniques and I really like them, especially the sort of shrinking/spinning 360 degree view is so cool! Thanks!

[@nacht98]

Makes me want to visit Lisbon next week! I miss Lisbon.

[@annemoeller9478]

Lovely video as usual. Thank you. 😊

[@sunshiner9204]

Your little Story is so precious 😊 I love how articulate and present minded she is for her age.

[@giftedchild943]

Story is simply beautiful. She handles situations very well. Very confident. You are amazing parents. Thanks again for another great video.

[@PeterPanMan]

Great episode, guys. Nice to see that Story is becoming a more verbal and independent contributor to your videos.

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

Story is just too much! What a beautiful kid.--You excited, Dad?😄Great video!

[@TheBeggFamily]

Excellent and infirmative video. Keep up the good work!

[@OnTheMoon-RelaxingNature]

Congratulations on your channel. It's amazing 😊

[@JenShea]

Thoroughly enjoyed that... all of it. Love how Story is so perceptive. I knew nothing of the Aqueduct museum and will definitely go for a visit. Obrigada ~ 🤗

[@jameshaddan8538]

Great video. I love Lisbon and need to come back - knew about the aqueduct (saw it from a distance while on a train), but everything else on the video was new to me. Your family is lovely.

[@JoePantani]

Nice video, amazing family, always love your videos. Continue like that! ;) Kisses and hugs

[@PlanetImo]

Love the dog water fountain. What a great idea.

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

Aqueduct is crazy cool! I was so busy with school when I was there I never got to see this and other stuff. Only saw those arches and heard stories of where you are here! My goodness now years later I get to see it😁👌🥇🍺Thank you. Also Restauradores has a wonderful obelisk that celebrates the 1640 end of Spanish domination. Black market items could be had there perhaps not any more.

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Another excellent vlog. Lisbon is, indeed, a very good-looking city. I am glad that you're having a taste for it. What an excellent choice of places to visit, like those ancient waterworks -- some amazing feat of civil engineering, indeed -- which is so good to see being kept in such a pristine condition, and open to the public. Well spotted, Sacha. It surely deserves to be better known. You might like to know -- if you don't know it already -- that "Amoreira" is Portuguese for "Mulberry tree", hence, and in all likelihood, the direct correlation between a silk-production plant, (as mentioned at minute 6:17 -- well spotted, Jay!) and the grove of Mulberry trees that gave its name to that area of Lisbon. It is wonderful to see young Story enjoying the experience, so alert to everything around her, as per usual, and now with such an extended vocabulary. Your parenting skills are, indeed, top-notch!

[@life107familyfitnessboxing8]

OMG! THIS IS FILMAKING AND STORY TELLING ON ANOTHER LEVEL. You have improved greatly. Superb editing skills and camera takes

[@reallynotpc]

This is the kind of thing you do really well.

[@EireannAnnie]

Another great vid, showing us all where and what to go see when we are next in Lisbon. hopefully will get to see at least some of the things you've shown.

[@PlanetImo]

Fab! We'll be there this November.

[@supersueca1]

Yes you are right, Eight Miles from Home, there is a connection between the Mulberry trees and silk production. That whole district next to the Jardim das Amoreira, in English Mulberry Tree Park, was a silk production disctrict, hence the name and the plantation of the trees. Fortunatelly, the buildings have been preserved.

[@anafreitas1646]

My gosh, did I needed cheering up... thank you so much. Just spent 2h30m to get home from work, a trip that would have been 20 min by car.... Story looks sooooooo cute, perfect travel companion. So glad you all enjoyed it.

[@DAVEJJR]

I’ve visited Lisbon many times and after each visit I think the city is more beautiful, exciting than the last time I saw her. Unfortunately tourism may destroy this gorgeous, gorgeous European diamond 😞

[@Floribela4]

loves the face of the Story at the end of the video :)

[@life107familyfitnessboxing8]

AWESOME VIDEO THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. LOVE THAT 360 DEGREE CAMERA VIEW. Thanks for sharing

[@nelson1953]

Very nice video!

[@tchallasqueen4861]

I want to come next year to visit. The cable car I have to do lol!

[@algueiraovelho]

Very informative video. When you have a chance, please visit the animal cemetery in Lisbon. It's quite nice so I hear. PS. Your Post-production skills are outstanding.

[@anna3046]

Thank you for such amazing vlogs!

[@emilybarrance6460]

There are certainly many things to do for these people in the city of Lisbon. The only thing these people can not do in Lisbon is ~ live in Lisbon.

[@vp2794]

I live there 🙄

Free water aquedut is one of the coolest stonmaison structure of portugal and the world to bring water to lisbon by gravity with 52 km long. Remarkable ! Worth to visit

[@rucaxp]

Another great video. Thank you for doing this. 🙏👣

[@jorgecandeias]

Ponte Vasco da Gama WAS the longest bridge in Europe when it was built, but it got surpassed a few years later by another one, I think, in Denmark.

[@annemoeller9478]

Maybe it is the longest bridge inside a city. 😊

[@riotagus]

@@annemoeller9478 Not funny. Only a small part of it is in Lisbon,the rest is on the South side of the river. It's a very looooooooong bridge !

[@PlanetImo]

Cool! I've been meaning to visit that water place for years and years.

[@errolrobertson3539]

Brilliant, thank you for sharing

[@blutey]

Very nice camera work. Wondered how you did some of the scooter shots, then saw the shadow of the Insta 360 One X. Also looks like you're using a new gimbal for some of the 360° barrel shots, maybe the Zhiyun Crane M2 or something similar?

[@freddo8182]

Portugal has the largest dam in Europe too: the Alqueva dam.

New Zealand has just has had its first death from riding a public E scooter. The glitch has been known for a while of the front wheels locking up.

Great video!!!

[@teresapacheco63]

Next time take Story to Jardim da Estrela and then go for lunch at Ela Canela or Amélia in Campo de Ourique.

[@TheLexy131313]

Very nice. But just one little thing; the 'jardins d'agua are next to the Oceanarium. What you've shown are the fountains near the museum of living science. It's close but it's not jardins d'agua.

[@BRod-fh7gv]

That chamber is where Limp Bizkit recorded the Video Clip of their song 'Boiler' It is beautiful as is your family. Continuem assim...

[@Alfablue227]

Lisbon is awesome, and my city of course. There are tons of things to see and do. Suggest seeing the Children's Museum at the Lisbon Zoo, it is great, and from there go on to the Parque de Benfica, at S. Domingos de Benfica. Terrific place, you feel you are in the forest, and there is a playground on on top, where I used to play as a child. Back to centre Lisbon, suggest the Roman Theatre and from there the lookout of Sta Luzia, and close by is the Sé Church from the time of the 2nd cruzade. Then suggest you go to the botanical gardens up Liberdade Avenue in Lisbon inside VII Park. Lovely place.

[@fcspam]

Keep up the great work! Another inspirational and warm video. Like yourselves, we're a young family with a 4yr old girl munchkin. We just landed in Portugal and looking to see if it's a life for us. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. If you happen to be in Lisbon and up for a munchkin and coffee playdate, let me know. =)

[@PlanetImo]

Ahhh! You were in Rato. I used to live there in 1999 and take that Metro station frequently.

[@canis002]

Ho my god, you filmed my house! If i live in front of the the coffee quiosque.

Olá amigos. You should go to Jardim campo mártires da Pátria and go down to baixa by oldest funicular of lisbon. Best
