Starting the day with another very cheap meal (portugese eggs) we beaded out to west of Lisbon to Sintra. A steep incline and a lot of sweat later we got a glance at the Pena Palace. Wow. A fairytale looking castle of multiple colours and styles. Having visited many European castles this year, the beauty of this was still a shock.

We made our way over to the Quinta Regaliera, a beautiful manor estate, more recently famous for its initiation well & underground tunnels - big culty vibes but very cool. Another excellent dinner (couldnt get enough of the iberian pork) and we were off. Sintra exceeding expectations. We had a tough time waiting for a much delayed flight, only made better by watching Portugal beat Fiji in a huge upset. Think us and the English fellas near us were the only ones in all of Lisbon airport to really care. Getting back home ar 3:30am was brutal, only made better by the amazing weekend awayRead more
Wow, looks amazing [Anne]

Centro Lisboa

Pues llegamos a Lisboa!!
Dejamos las cosas en el hotel y nos fuimos a comer al centro, recorrimos la ciudad en patinete eléctrico y en bicicleta, nos metimos por unas calles un poco diferentes que olian a especias y llegamos a la plaza de los restauradores, comimos y seguimos viendo la zona, pasamos por el barrio alto que tenía unas vistas bonitas y mucho ambiente (igual porque estaban de feriados), por la plaza del comercio..
Cenamos en un mexicano un poco pintoresco, había una gogó bailando en una barra y la comida estaba super rica. Las calles estaban llenas, había locales muy diferentes y un montón de ocio nocturno.Read more

Day 48
Lissabon
February 3, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
Da wir jetzt wussten wo die Haltestelle ist, schafften wir es in wenigen Minuten vom Stellplatz nach dort und dann in kurzer Zeit in die Stadt. Nach einem Rundgang durch den historischen Mercado da Ribeira begaben wir uns zum legendären zweiten Marktteil, dem Time Out Marked Lisboa. Ein Muss ist dieser "Fresstempel" mit seinen vielen unterschiedlichen Speise- und Getränke-angeboten bestimmt, was auch die gut mit Touris gefüllten Tische und Bänke anschaulich bewiesen.

Von dort ging es dann gemütlich zum Ascensor do Lavra,der bekannten Seilbahn und mit ihr die 188 Meter nach oben
https://www.weheartlisbon.com/de/sehenswuerdigk…
und durch verwinkelte Gässchen zum Jardim Guerra Junqueiro und zur Basílica da Estrela
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basílica_da_Estrela
Von dort lag das Parlament Portugals genau auf unserem Rückweg
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembleia_da_Rep…
und wir liefen wieder durch zahllose Straßen und Gässchen und an jeder Ecke gab es etwas anderes zu bestaunen. Uns stand aber der Sinn nach Fado-Musik und so gingen wir gemütlich zum Geburtsort des Fado, dem Stadtteil, in dem wir uns schon tags zuvor fast verlaufen haben. Ein freundlicher Tuc-Tuc-Fahrer gab uns dann einen Tipp, der sich tatsächlich nicht als Touristenfalle herausstellte. Um 20.00 Uhr hat er uns einen Platz in einem Lokal reserviert, in dem ganz offensichtlich mehr Wert auf Fado als auf Nepp gelegt wird. Im Lokal Fama d Alfama waren wir bestens aufgehoben und fast die einzigen Touristen. Das Lokal ist durchaus empfehlenswert, was die Musik angeht genauso wie das Essen.Read more

Lisbon
December 2, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
I have arrived in Lisbon. My overnight spot near the lighthouse is close to the cliff and I watch the powerful surf for some time.

In town I meet my uncle, aunt and cousin who live in Portugal. My sister joins me from Germany and we explore the town together.
I have only seen a part of it - a part that I like very much. The city is very mountainous and the streets wind along the mountain slopes, which makes orientation difficult. =)
There is a lot to discover...Read more

With only a weekend to explore we started early. 8:30 booking at a well known brunch place. Probably too early, but great food

We then went off to walking tour to explore the city which was great. Lisbon is a beautiful city, incredible architecture and history. The last taste of european summer (30 degrees), as well as a few too many portugese tarts (pasteis de nata) saw the spirits pretty high. We visited the old and new monuments at Belem, finishing off with dinner and a few local red wines. Minus getting stuck in a tiny lift at 1am, a top SaturdayRead more

Day 9
História do Bacalhau
April 30, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Final stop of the day! It was a push to add in this Museum of Cod and we were rather tired as it was a prolonged wait for both buses to take us back to the centre of town. It seemed the museum had been done by the same folks as the Story of Lisbon, very entertaining and easy to absorb the information. They even had a room which was a "ride" where you could sit in a dory, it simulated a cold temperature and the rocking of the boat in the north atlantic seas. To think these men worked like slaves solo for 10 hours each day in these tiny wooden boats to catch cod and bring it back to the mother ship - for months at a time.
Homeward bound for our last night in Alfama, one more dinner to soak up the atmosphere, we had baked Portuguese sausages with onions and carrots, the last of the Calem Tawny Port and chocolate. It's going to be hard not to be gaining weight on this trip!Read more

Lisbon - the original Curate's Egg
May 16, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
You can make anything look good with pictures, but trust me, the majority of the places we saw in Lisbon were more akin to the last photo in the series than any of the others. All the travel shows say what a great city Lisbon is to experience; but, for me and Jane, it was too sprawling, too unkept and dirty, too edgy.Read more

Ankunft und noch die Vasco da Gama Brücke ab Hecken, damit Thomas den perfekten Fotospot findet...
Dann ab ins Studio, die Gegend scheint auf den ersten Blick total versifft, aber das ist Lissabon überall. Schad, verfällt die Stadt...
Studio ist herzig, gerade ok zu zweit und gut gelegen, wie wir im Laufe der Tage merken.
Abends noch eine kleine Erkundungsrunde mit Tapas und einer Nachtfahrt mit dem berühmten Tram 28.Read more

Day 2
Praça do Comércio & Timeout food market
October 5, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
The second day in Lisbon, we went to the yellow square, also called ( Praça do Comércio). It is iconic with the yellow buildings at the square. In the center, you can see the statue of King José I. It is chilling and there is a Lisboa Story Centre where you can read and know about the history of Lisbon with a fee. We had a package that was with the story telling and a 3D motion story telling. Do not really recommend if you have motion sickness 🤢. It was pretty chilled at the square, can just walk around and take some pictures or just have a coffee and enjoy the sweets at the nearby cafés. After a long walk and some photos time, we went to time out market for lunch. It was so bezig but there were loads of food stalls and you can get all the local dishes you want like seafood or even desserts. It taste so good and with affordable price! Don't forget to get some Sangria or local beer 🍻!Read more

In der Stadt der 7 Hügel angekommen ging es weiter mit den Weihnachtsmärkten, leckerem Essen und einer tollen Aussicht vom Einkaufscenter Amoreiras (5€). Wir waren mit dem Fahrrad dort, die Küste war zum Glück flach, nicht wie in Porto😅
Abends haben wir bei Sergio (wegen dem Carnet de Passage) und seiner Familie eine Wein und Käseverkostung bei Pizza bekommen und Philipp hat das klassische Outfit der Fadosänger anprobiertRead more
