Being Portuguese, I am finding it the most compact video, yet most enlightening, extensive, comprehensive and embracing video I have seen about Lisbon and Its surroundings. Congrats guys. Hugs.
I'm a Lisboeta and Alfacinha (born and living here in Lisbon) and I must say that this is by far the best tour guide from my city I ever seen. Good work!
Wow, thank you so much Paulo! Your comment is truly motivating me to continue the show 😀 What are your thoughts on the Reformatt night guide for Lisbon, released a couple of weeks ago?
Haha thanks, glad to know the video loves up to the standards 😁 Is there anything in it you weren't aware of? Don't forget to check the Lisbon night guide
If you follow the guide, you'll have a blast. Download the map as well from www.reformatt.com and also check the Lisbon Nightlife episode to make your trip complete. 🎉🎉
This video is a masterpiece for anyone visiting Lisbon! It has made me so excited about my upcoming travels to this beautiful city. When did you shoot this video? I would be in Lisbon in October end this year, is it a good time to visit Lisbon, especially the nearby Sintra? Thanks
Really cool and comprehensive video. I have a question about the drone shots, did you get those yourself or are taken from other videos? I am going to Lisbon in June and maybe you could point me towards some info about drone regulation for tourists, areas where its allowed to film.. I would really appreciate it. Maybe I will take my drone with me 😁
Your travel guide videos always make me feel like I'm right there exploring with you. Just curious, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack by NomadLane? They're creating quite a buzz and might align well with your travel philosophy.
What a wonderful, informative video…. I am going for a few days in October.. You think I can get all this in? (Perhaps if I don’t sleep😂) Was going to stay in an Airbnb but will stay at a hotel instead. Why…? Because after this video soooo many restaurants to try. Thank you… You nailed it!
@@Reformatt , Porto is not a big city but very hilly. My advise is use the public transports to go up, and get down by walk. A day ticket cost 7 euros and a 3 day ticket 15. My favoritos places are Ribeira, Barredo and Miragaia near the river, they are all conected so its easy to see in one morning, cross the D.Luiz brigde to the other side, the city of Gaia and see Porto is all this glory. The cathedral is amazing, the Santa Clara church, the Batalha area, the São Bento train station, the Clérigos tower, the romanic Cedofeita church, the Lapa church. U have two beautiful places to see but one is too croweded, Lello library, and São Francisco church u pay too much and u cant take photos or movies (but the church is awsome). Other tips: take the bus 500 that goes along all the river Douro to the sea, and in the end U have the beautiful santuary of Matosinhos, a huge and marvelous gold church and its free and u can take pictures. Palácio de Cristal gardens are very relaxed. Go to the monestery of Pilar on Gaia and see the sunset. If u can take a train (about 20 minutes) and go see the Miramar beach on Gaia, with a chapel on the top of the rocks in the beach. In the Porto area u have several old monesteries, i love all but the most acessible are the Águas Santas (bus 705), and the very historical and huge Leça do Balio (bus 505). Too eat there are two places that i allways go, to eat Francesinha the Santa Francesinha in Poveiros square, behind the Batalha church, and the chicken In Pedro dos Frangos near the Coliseu theater. For fish go to Matosinhos restaurant area, they have a big fishing port with lots of fresh fish. After Matosinhos u have the chique and beautiful village of Leça da Palmeira (bus 507) enjoy the huge beach. If u have time the trains can take u to Santo Tirso (huge monestery of São Bento), Aveiro (call the portuguese Venice, there u can take the Moliceiros Boats and see the chanels, and eat the marvelous soft egs), Braga the capital of cristianism of Portugal, Guimarães the first capital of Portugal, Barcelos the capital of handicraft, and the most marvelous trip of train on Portugal, the Douro river (but will take all day). Sorry the huge text lol. 😀
Depends which places you want to be close to and how long you are staying. I really enjoyed staying in Principe Real and Cais do Sodre areas for 1-month.
A few constructive corrections: 6:18 - Authentic? Nope, the real "Pastéis de Bacalhau" don't have cheese in them. These are just a pretentious, wannabe-gourmet version. 10:00 - You were in Lisbon, Portugal and you decided to go eat a south american dish? 10:50 - Our Seafood Rice is neither a soup nor a version of the spanish paella. 12:41 - Those were not crackers, they were toasted bread slices. Why use industrial "bread" when we can just toast slices of delicious real bread? 18:56 - The country's official international name is Cabo Verde since 2014. Just like Czechia is no longer The Czech Republic or Türkiye is no longer Turkey. 20:07 - Your mistake here was including the Pastéis de Belém in a top 5 list of the best Pastéis de Nata in Lisbon. They're not the original Pastéis de Nata, their secret recipe makes them unique, exclusive and trademarked. The Pastéis de Nata were created somewhere else, anyone can make them the way they want and you can compare between them to decide which one is the best. The Pastéis de Belém shouldn't even be in that list because there's nothing else to compare them with.
Thanks for the great feedback! I truly appreciate it. 1. A Cevicheria, was simply added for it being a very unique looking restaurant, good dishes though 2. Yes, I agree with you. Although, I think the best way I could describe Arrosz de Marisco, is comparing it to a seafood rice porridge, or a soup version of paella, something in the middle. I love it though, it is a fantastic dish 🤩 3. Yes, you are correct, those weren't crackers but toasts 😉 4. Thanks for the correction, I wasn't aware Cape Verde changed their name to Cabo Verde (is this official yet in the English language as well?) 5. Indeed, they are not exactly the same, but if I had to rate all the Lisbon Pastéis (egg tarts), Pastéis de Belém would not make it high on the list. Basically, letting other travelers know not to miss out on the other excellent Pastéis in Lisbon Thanks again for watching the video and providing solid feedback 👍
@@Reformatt 2. The only similarities between the Arroz de Marisco and the Paella are the rice and the seafood. The Paella is drier, has meat and vegetables (none of which are in the Arroz de Marisco) and it's cooked differently. 🙂 4. They didn't change the name, it has always been called Cabo Verde since the inhabited archipelago was discovered and populated by the portuguese explorers in the mid 15th century. What happened in 2014 was that by a UN decision based on the request of the caboverdiano government, the country's name should no longer be translated in any language. No more Cape Verde (ENG), Cap Vert (FRA), Capo Verde (IT), Kap Verde (GER), Kaapverdië (NL), and so on. 5. And I was basically letting the viewers know that, when in Lisbon, they should try the Pastéis de Nata AND the Pastéis de Belém but don't compare them. 🙂
Much missing information. They ranked Castro as having the best Portuguese Egg Tarts of all but don't provide any address or information. I can't even find it on Google.

@@Reformatt I will check it out. But I'm a guy from the 80/90's Lisbon "movida". I'll check it with my sons.
Except the girl is super annoying
I have lived in Lisbon for decades and... you seem to know it better than I do. Kudos to you! ❤️
Haha thanks, glad to know the video loves up to the standards 😁 Is there anything in it you weren't aware of?

Thank you for watching! Will you be visiting Lisbon soon?
This video is a masterpiece for anyone visiting Lisbon! It has made me so excited about my upcoming travels to this beautiful city. When did you shoot this video? I would be in Lisbon in October end this year, is it a good time to visit Lisbon, especially the nearby Sintra? Thanks

Great video.... What's the name of the restaurant in 6:20, serving pasties de bacalhau?

Now i want to go to Lisbon 😅 Thanks Reformatt!!
I am so happy to hear that ☺️
What a wonderful, informative video….
I am going for a few days in October.. You think I can get all this in? (Perhaps if I don’t sleep😂)
Was going to stay in an Airbnb but will stay at a hotel instead. Why…? Because after this video soooo many restaurants to try.
Thank you… You nailed it!
Thank you for your awesome comment! You will have a blast in Lisbon 🥳

Thank you for sharing. chaos
You are very welcome
Great video! I have gained around 10 pounds just by watching 😂
Hahaha! Too much to eat in Lisbon. Are you planning on traveling there?
Yes, this, in fact, I'm going this week
These two are an odd pair, but I like the variety of places they went to.
Keeping it interesting 😉
Can you please mention the prices of the restaurant and the things that you did. it would be much more recommended and appreciated
Is this sarcasm? lol, everything is listed
U must go to Porto, the best city to eat and drink.
And Pasteis de Belem aren't pasteis de nata
Where in Porto should I go?
Do you have a list of best places you like?

Did you feel safe walking in alleys late at night?
We felt very safe. At no point were we worried.
@@Reformatt Great to know! We will be in Lisbon in the next few months. Just trying to figure out the best area to stay. :)
Depends which places you want to be close to and how long you are staying.
I really enjoyed staying in Principe Real and Cais do Sodre areas for 1-month.
Several places are not in the Capital of Porrugal - Lisbon, for example Sintra
Do most places accept credit cards or cash?
Yes. Credit cards are accepted

I will be in Lisbon for 3 days, is it better to rent a car?
Comment for an algo, before I started to watch
Thank you for your comment
💫😍🫶🙌👐👍👌💯🧡
I would not say the Portuguese are very religious, that's why you only typically find a couple of old people actually attending church.
When I lived in the villages I always witnessed full churches on Sundays, especially in comparison with other western nations
@@Reformatt In the small villages yes, but barely anyone lives there :)
To be honesty, the city of Lisbon has 11 hills.
I guess that depends if you include the outer areas of Lisbon...
