- Hello Amigas and Amigos🫡
We’re finally in Leiria. While many of the places I’ve filmed before were in the Leiria district, today we’re in the city of Leiria itself.
Leiria is a city rich in history and culture. It’s not just any city; it’s the capital of the Leiria district, covering 34.6 square kilometers with over 55,000 residents. The broader municipality spans an impressive 565.09 square kilometers and is home to around 128,616 people across 18 parishes, making it the second most populous in the region after Coimbra.
Bit of history👌
Leiria’s journey began with its first charter granted by King Afonso in 1142. The city’s iconic Castle of Leiria offers stunning views and is a must-see. I showed you drone footage, the best I left for you to see in real life🙂
In 1545, Leiria became a city and the seat of the Diocese of Leiria.
I also visited Cathedral. The Leiria Cathedral, built in the late 16th century, is a blend of Renaissance and Mannerist styles, showcasing the city’s architectural heritage. Overall very beautiful💯
Leiria has faced challenges, like the French Invasions and the Great Fire of 1811. Yet, it rebounded, becoming an industrial hub by the 20th century. Today, the city’s economy thrives on trade, agriculture, and industries like ceramics, plastics, and tourism. And in 2022, Leiria was ranked as one of Portugal’s top cities for startups.
Leiria is famous for its delicious food, including roast suckling pig (leitão da Boavista) and traditional desserts like brisa do Lis. The city also hosts a historic annual fair from May 1 to 25, a tradition dating back to 1295. Something like that😄😄😄
Distances from major cities:
- Lisbon: 140 km (1.35 hours)
- Porto: 185 km (1.45 hours)
- Coimbra: 76 km (52 minutes)
Leiria is also one of the most affordable cities I’ve visited, with property prices at around 1,250 euros per square meter and long-term rentals at 8 euros per square meter per month.

@@pedrofaria1866 100% 😁
Fantastic. Leiria is a beautiful city... and the view up to the castelo is wonderful!!
Love the intros and fab job on the map. I know where it is, but many wouldn't. The effect as great!
Obrigada ~
Thank you, Jen 👍 Did you visit Leiria? It's such a cool place🙂
@@millionplacesoneworld I drove through it... not to it. Next time I plan to visit.
@JenShea Definitely, Jen. Since our tastes are similar in Portugal, I think you will love it 😉💯
Videos always great but getting better champ! Keep going! You will DEFINITELY be a bigger channel sooner than later. Salute!
@@letsgetdoing Thanks bro 🫡 Appeciate💯
Leiria district is just amazing! I moved back from Lisbon to here, bc comparing cost of life and quality of life - Leiria just bits Lisbon so hard 😁😁 thank you for showcasing it so well!
@@Catarinaferreira_costadeprata You are so right, I can see how Leiria is better suited for lot of people(including me) 👍🙂
Your music with the videos is always so great! You could teach some of the other you tube travel channels are thing or two - lol! Lovely city! (Also the street art is amazing.)
@bh8138 Thank you! 👍 I will try new and interesting things in terms of music in my next videos😁 Hope you will like it!
Great job. You are a master videoographer. You have an honest approach to your videos, on the street, and local food.
@carlosbarbosa5821 Thank you, Amigo 👍 But I still need to improve many things for my videos. I'm learning in the process 😄 I appreciate your feedback.
I have been to Leiria and to a Castle I think where we could have a neat view of the city. I loved the vibe there. I think you would love trás- os- montes and Minho up north. Houses made of beautiful Stone all untouched and the people uncorrupted. Nature, farms, peace and tranquility. The purest place I ve visited. Another era back in time. I ate in a family house food made in fornos de lenha.
@@mariateixeira9769 I'm afraid that if I will go north then I will stay there, after how you describe it😁
Olá! Gosto da tua personalidade. Tu e tua família, são lindos. Felicidades.💚
@@alicetrindade9856 Minha família e eu estamos muito gratos 🙂 Obrigado!🤎
I'm very glad that you were in my city Leiria. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me warn you about your drone images, you must have all permissions to operate it on the cities and outside if your drone capture images (specialy from AAN "portuguese aeronautical authority" and in some cases as Leiria, we are on a military restricted area and also need authorization from portuguese air force, if you film on any beach your will need also pertission from AMN (portuguese maritime authority from the area were you will film), otherwise the police will fine you and take all your stuff. I'm also drone pilot. Hope you enjoy my country and everything good that we have here. Big hug.
Hey 👋 Thank you! I enjoy Portugal a lot. Leiria is a fantastic city and really surprised me in a good way. 🙂🇵🇹
About the drone - Yes, I know about the regulations. I confirm every flight with AAN, and the police stopped me in Leiria, right next to their building😁 But I can tell you that a lot of tourists don't know this and fly wherever they want. I've seen that in real life and also on RUclips👌
You need to visit Tomar, the city of the knights templar. And in the way you visit my town Torres Novas.
I was already planning to go to Torres Novas, but I couldn't fly my drone because of some restrictions. Next time, I'll know how to confirm it, so it will be out there at some point👌 And Tomar-I've heard a lot of good things about it. Thank you for the suggestions!🫡
Now I want to go there and see it myself 🤩 I like how you eat😂
I will take you there 💯As for eating, when I eat like that, I enjoy the food with all my senses 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Wohoo, now I'm taking you to Leiria 😁😁😁❤️
Thanks for the video! We will be coming from Texas, scouting the area in September and will be in Leiria for a couple days. Looking forward to the cooler weather...27°C sounds lovel...its 42°C here today!🥵
After 42° this will be refreshing for sure 😁
Have a great trip to Portugal and definitely visit Leiria, as I said in the video - a very good find 💯🇵🇹
Take care 🫡
Pretty in the Summer not much to do in the winter , longer winter and very grey and cold! Get a house with central heating if renting there!
It's because the location is more inland (weather-wise)?🤔
I should go check it out later this year because what I saw now made me fall in love with Leiria🤎
Thank you for your comment and tip about a house👍
It's called seasons, ever heard of them? If you want to live in a place where it's Summer and good weather all year round, then Portugal isn't for you.
Veiksmi! :)
@@vikentijslauruts2153 Paldies, Paldies 🫡
Video Fantástico ❤
Obrigado 🫡🇵🇹
Is my city
You live in beautiful city 🫡
Glad you found your Xarlie beer!🥳 🍺
@christineawoolley334 Me too 😁 But there's also a brewery a bit outside of the city where you can try it👌
The month of August is vacation for Portugal.
Nice video!
I lived in Portugal some years back. It is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't a fan of the Portuguese people, if I'm honest. My impression of the Portuguese people is not very good, unfortunately.
I am glad to see that other people are enjoying Portugal.
@teddydavis2339 Well, you know how it is with people; some are nice, some not so much.
I definitely love Portuguese nature and cities.
As for the people, I love Portuguese people, but my experience has always been positive (except on the road 😁).
I believe this depends on where you are in Portugal; in small villages/towns, you’ll definitely find a better attitude toward you.
Thank you for sharing your experience 🫡
What did you dislike in Portuguese people? In which part of Portugal did you live?
Sorry but you can't just say "the portuguese people" without specifying where, who and what gave you that bad impression.
@@module79l28 Why? If he doesn't like us, why are you bothered? He is entitled to his opinion.
Personally I am not offended and I am proud to be Portuguese.
@@teddydavis2339 Do not worry. You should be honest. Even if you are generalising. We, as a country, are almost 900 years old. During such a long period of time, a lot of people did not like us, in general, and a lot of people liked us too. It is a fact of everyday life. We just can not generalise about your country because we do not know your nationality.
I am trying to do the relocation to Portugal and your videos are helping me. Thank you. I am sitting in my home and watching your videos and I feel I know all the country because of you.❤
@amjaduda5212 Thank you, my goal is just that🙂👍 Happy to help. Now, I will also add a segment on traditional foods in Portugal (it's a bit more on the entertainment side tho). I wish you all the luck in relocating. It is worth it! 💯 See you in Portugal 🇵🇹
Leiria is a Jewel , shush ... Here in Portugal they say "leiria does not exist"
I already heard this story 😁👍 Cool...
Leitão is avalaible in Leiria but it's a speciality from Mealhada around 20 km north Coimbra .
@@jorgetrincheira2120 That is leitão main place in Portugal? 🇵🇹
@@millionplacesoneworld indeed .
Anadia is the town you find few great restaurants to eat leitão with hand made chips .
Thank you 👍 Saving this in my long, long, long list of foods to try at authentic places 😎🇵🇹
A city that doesn't exist can't be the best. 😉😄
I find it very strange that you couldn't get permission to fly the drone in Torres Novas but for Leiria, which is right next door to one of the major air bases in Portugal (Monte Real), you could.
Adega dos Caçadores is closed on Sundays. Was it by any chance when you were there?
28:36 - And the mega shopping centre in Parceiros, which includes the Leiriashopping (it has a Continente inside), Media Markt, Staples, other supermarkets, car dealerships, a music store (Ludimusic) and other businesses. More ammenities than you'll ever need if you live there. 😄
@module79l28 What do you mean it doesn't exist? Don't tell me it's a town 😄
About the drone, yes, they dropped the height but approved all my flights 😁🇵🇹
I wasn't there on Sunday; I was on thursday I think. Have you been to this cafe?
And Amigo, as always, thank you for your comments. I need to see that shopping center; it sounds massive! 🫡
@@millionplacesoneworld - Oh boy, I see you're not aware of the meme... It all started around the 2010's with a trend that every country had a city that "doesn't exist": in Germany it's Bielfeld, in the Netherlands it's Drenthe, in Brazil it's Acre, in the US it's Wyoming, and so on and so on. In Portugal it started when someone posted a map online where the Leiria district didn't exist, so a portuguese "redditer" took that map and posted a video on Reddit, starting the # leirianãoexiste trend. Then it really took off in 2021 when a new map of the Iberian Peninsula was added to the Euro Truck Simulator 2: no matter how many times the players "drove" on the A1 between Lisbon and Porto and vice-versa, they could never find the exit to Leiria because Leiria didn't exist on that map! 😆
No, I've never been to the Adega but online it says it's closed on Sundays.
The LeiriaShopping itself is massive but what I was referring to is the whole area surrounding it, on both sides of the free stretch of the A19/IC2 south of Leiria. If you see "Área Comercial" written in the road signs, it's in that direction. Or just search for LeiriaShopping and look at the map. 🙂
@@millionplacesoneworld It's just a joke (a meme actually). There's even a song called "Leiria não existe".
I will look it up, hope I find😄 Thank you for this interesting fact 👍👍👍
@@millionplacesoneworld - Are you able to see any of my replies? I'm asking because for the past 4 days YT is malfunctioning again, I haven't been receiving any notifications of replies to my comments, just of new videos posted by the channels I'm subscribed to. I'm having to go back to the videos and scout for replies manually. 😠
I agree 100% my wife and I purchased a house in the Leiria district in Curcialinho just outside Ansião. We wanted to live in a small village with access to grocery shopping and not in a bigger town. Thanks for sharing!
@user-pf7qg5rr3w Thank you for your comment 👍 My wife, after watching the video is curious about the location as well. For me, I loved it and it's one of the top cities in Portugal now🇵🇹
Although they are in the Leiria district, places like Ansião, Pedrógão Grande, Figueiró dos Vinhos or even Pombal have very little to do with what people envision when they think about Leiria, which usually is more the coastal area: Nazaré, Peniche, S. Pedro de Moel, Alcobaça, Caldas da Rainha, etc. Ansião is even closer to Tomar (around 30mins) than to Leiria (around 45mins). 🙂
Ansião is a beautiful quiet town .
My parents live their .
I just looked at pictures of Ansião. It looks like a peaceful place. Maybe after the city bustle, I will film an episode there👍🇵🇹
Thanks for sharing
