    FINALLY, we had a PROPER Francesinha thanks to Joel's insider knowledge. It's been so much more relaxing traveling around Portugal this time since we don't have to deal with any driving or planning ourselves. We just tag along and let Joel show us what worth seeing and doing and that works very well! If you are thinking about going to Portugal don't hesitate sending an e-mail to Patricia from Sagres Vacations (Patricia.C@SagresVacations.com). Whatever you want to see or do, she will help you plan your dream trip to Portugal! See you in the next video where we go to beautiful Douro Valley! 😍

    for quality of life and friendliness of locals... Porto, definitely... locals will see your respect and will treat you like a friend. It's a welcoming city... full of spots... Passeio das Virtudes, the park of S. Roque da Lameira with the house of Ramos Pinto and the labyrinth.... lots of local architecture, Praça da República, Batalha, Poveiros, S. Lázaro, even the centre of Gaia has its spots...

    I have lived in both Lisbon and Porto as a foreigner / immigrant and my opinion of this is: Lisbon is so much prettier with the colorful houses and that beautiful bridge in Alcantara. The sunsets in Lisbon are gorgeous, the light is just different, and it is always sunny unlike in Porto. If i was gonna have a vacation, I choose Lisbon. But as an immigrant working here I choose to live in Porto / North of portugal so I can live like a local with budget friendly rent (Lisbon rents are just insane) and more nature around me and better food and I feel like the locals in Porto are just so much more warm and welcoming. of course all of this is just from my limited experiences in portugal so far

      @Gehn Saavedro i mean porto IS beautiful in a kind of melancholic, haunting way. i mean the architecture is stunning. it is just that, for example, try to go to cais do sodre or the docas in alcantara on any random afternoon and watch the sunset and somebody pllaying guitar in the background or whatnot. i mean, the beauty in lisbon is more like a feeling, you know. it is not just the aesthetics of it. it's like it's bright and happy and everything is well.

Porto can be indeed a bit melancholic type of city sometimes, but not on a "sad" way, is just that lisbon use to be really rich and porto really poor, surviving with the fishermans and work a lot while the nobles and important people were down south, so yes even the architects and artist that made the city kinda made it inspired in a bit of melancholic stories or love for the people and the efforts we made 200 300 years ago, however most of the architects were AMAZING just artists back then at least in portugal were very bad paid ;)....u guys are amazing btw

    And I can say, Porto district it's much more better than Lisbon, the life style, the streets, the food, and the people are very different. And I can say I love Porto so much on my first year.

    I am from the north of Portugal and I got married in Porto. But Lisbon has much more to offer. For living and holidays, I will vote for Lisbon for sure. It become a cosmopolitan city over the years. Porto is nice to visit once in a while. For eating is complicated, Porto has new trendy restaurant popping up; I think you can have a nice variety of restaurants and food in both places. ;)

    After living in the two cities and being from the North: Porto is more beautiful than Lisbon, the people in Porto are more welcome and way more friendly, the food is not great in the city of Porto ( however, food in the North is amazing but in smaller cities), Porto is a more relaxed and slower pace than Lisbon, Porto is way cheaper than Lisbon, is smaller you can go faster from point A to B, but Lisbon has a way better weather and the seaside is better ( the water is not as cold and the sea is calmer so you can swim), there are more job opportunities in Lisbon. In the past, I use to prefer Lisbon but now I definitely prefer Porto as I feel more home and also feel like because has less tourism I am still treated as a normal Portuguese person unlikely in Lisbon where if you go for dinner or lunch in the city centre they see you like a walking wallet which is very sad. In resume definitely Porto, as the environment and vibe of the city is nicer

      @@br3menPT If you mean mentally by neighbors still speaking with each other, helping each other, the locals as a community looking after each other and simple things like you go to the restaurant two days and in the second one knowing your name and asking how are you and being polite, the people in business don't look at you as a walking wallet, etc, etc so I prefer how it was 30 years ago I doubt Lisbon mentality is an evolution of society. Last time I have been in Lisbon I had a few bad experiences with locals and I love Lisbon but the mentality is not amazing is more individual, selfish, and with the feeling of superiority apart from the people and very expensive city Lisbonne is amazing.
