Best video to understand Lisbon
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🤗♥️
Lisbon is indeed a wonderful town. I live and I work (finaly I was able to work as teacher in my hometown after many years in different places in the country) here and I find it amazing every time I walk in the streets. It was also great to see how you made this epic 10 hours walking tour in Portugal main town.
Unfortunaley and after the pandemic Lisbon is very crowded and you have lots of queues to reach some spots and you have to be very patient.... If you want to skip the line to get the 28 tramline you have to get to Chiado (outside the metro station) and wait there and made all the way to Prazeres stop and then, made all the way back to Martim Moniz..
Thank you for the video. Cheers.
Hi Luís. Thanks for your comment and the good advice about how to beat the queues form tram 28. Everyone seems to want to start at Martim Moniz so the queue there is so long. It makes very good sense to start in Chiado. When we rode it the first time, it was empty because it was early in COVID times. Although they still made us get off the tram at Prazeres and take the next one back. What a wonderful journey it is and what a wonderful city too. You must be proud to call it home. 👍😊 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers you have that option or to get the tram 25 (leaves from Praça da Figueira) to Prazeres and then, get the 28 there. Be aware, that this tram only from Monday to Friday; so, in the weekend you have to get the bus 774 in the same direction. Cheers.
@@LuisSantos-us1ww A brilliant tip, thank you! ~ Mandy 😁😀
So glad to have watched this, we are going to Lisbon in 2 days. Cant wait!...I have to add that my husband and I finally found an enjoyable couple doing videos about the place and not about themselves (getting dressed, putting make-up on before the trip, waking-up, etc..)!
Thanks for your kind words, Anna. We're glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. We do like to focus on the place rather than ourselves and give as much information as possible. Enjoy your time in Lisbon. It's a wonderful city. 😁👍 ~ Lee
You did quite well, but of course there is way more to discover...After 3 trips to Lisbon and a year living there we are still discovering all of the hidden gems!! Love Lisbon, my city!! You two must be feeling famous...Exciting to see your poster!!! Fun vlog!
Thank you so much, Tamara. We love Lisbon too and I think we made 5 or 6 videos from the first time we were there for 11 days. There really is a lot to see and do. We thought for this one we could see what we could squeeze into a day trip as so many people do only visit for one day.
It's such a vibrant place. I could just keep going back again and again. 😍 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers 50 cent for the card + the cost for one single trip is not cheap as it looks like
@@joaorobalo9353 As it is a one off €0.50 cost for the card, it still works out less expensive than paying cash on the tram, for example. Most transport systems around the world charge for a card, only a few provide a card for free. ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers the same every where you go, the card is cheaper than paying in cash to the driver, a return ticket is cheaper than a single ticket. In Portugal you pay 50 cents for the Viva Card and then you will need to top up the Viva card for tram, train, boat, etc. The travel pass is even cheaper than Viva card. There are some offers if you travel in group. At the end the travel cost is expensive. But if you are over 60's, the bus is free of charge even at UK. At UK you can get a refund for the travel card that you purchased. At Portugal there is no refund for the Viva Card which it's bad for the tourists.
@@joaorobalo9353 We found the public transport system to be very reasonably priced. I know the one-month pass is even better value, and is a great way to keep people using public transport rather than cars. We love trams and it's always so much fun to be in a city that has them! ~ Mandy
Always traveling 😎 So nice 😎 haven’t been to Lisbon. Nice to see this
So lovely to hear from you! Lisbon is an amazing city and is well worth a visit... maybe not during the peak season though 😀😁 ~ Mandy
What a lovely tour of Lisbon! I have to say that first scene of your early morning view before heading down to Lisbon was absolutely stunning. And I loved that your magazine cover was on display at the bus station. All-around great video! Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words Priyanka. We also love that spectacular view from Sitio down to Nazare. It felt so strange for us to see ourselves on the poster. They'll be gone now as the next magazine has come out but at least we have the memory on film now. 😊😊 Thanks for your support! 👍 Lee
Wow, inspiring. What an excellent marathon of a day! You're all such good travellers.
I think you should've posed in front of your magazine cover and let passersby discover that YOU're the smiling couple in the mag cover 😄!
Thank you Ruth. It was an epic day and we saw as much of central Lisbon as possible in the time span. The family did so well but I think we wore them out. 😁
We did hang around and got some photos with the posters. We got a few smiles from passersby 😊 but no autograph requests! 🤣🤣 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers Feira da Ladra is a burglar market
What a beautiful city! Can’t wait to visit.
Lisbon is stunning! I'd recommend avoiding going during the summer holidays if you can help it, as it was so crowded, but still amazing! ~ Mandy 😁😀
You guys are the best! Awesome video! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much, Steve. Really appreciate it. We've done a bit of exploring lately with family over so will have some extra mid week videos to show. 😁 ~ Lee
I love trams 🚊 ❤️
Aren't they wonderful! We love them too 😁😀🥳 ~ Mandy
Playing Sardines on a Tram 🐟🐟🐟🐟 great stuff, looked a great day out, I rather overcast weather sun is your enemy taking piks n vid think you mastered this, wow that's some walking you guys done need to have a word with #Reebok #Adidas, Great vid as always 😎👍
Thanks so much. Although the tram ride is fun, it's a bit of a squeeze with so many people. Great to be out and free wandering the streets. And what a great place to wander around. 😍
We've worn our Salomon hiking shoes into the ground on our exploits and I was thinking of writing to them to thank them for such great footwear and maybe hinting to some sponsorship and promotion. 😉. Seriously though, I'm buying these again in a flash. 3 years and 1000's of k's of walking, they are the best. 😁 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers had Docs timbs addidas always some issue but came accross Slazenger memory foam breathable trainers €10 bargain bin best buy for feet so far 😁
You accomplished a lot in one day!! Such an interesting city. Thanks for showing us
We did pack a lot in. So much to see in Lisbon you really need at least a few days. We love it there. 😊👍 ~ Lee
Hi Mandy and Lee, thank you for a whirlwind tour of Lisbon, one of my favourite cities in the world. It certainly wasn't my favourite city on April 25, 1974 when I got caught up in the Carnation Revolution. The Portuguese military in Lisbon were not so friendly to me but I have learned for forgive and love but never forget considering the political circumstances.
Wow. You really experienced a crucial moment in the history of Portugal being there during the carnation revolution. We've seen many images of the events on the streets of Lisbon on that day but couldn't imagine the experience of seeing it first hand. My travel strategy is to try and avoid the military wherever we go which isn't easy in some places. I'm glad you survived to tell the tale and that Portugal has improved for the better. 😊 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers the toilets are not free, in Portugal the citizens pay taxes and taxes are used to maintain the toilets and other public services
@@joaorobalo9353 And it is the same in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. The country we've visited with the most free toilets provided per square kilometre is South Korea... they have free loos everywhere! ~ Mandy
You guys have such a wonderfull energy! Im definately inspired to visit Lisbon 🙂☀️☀️☀️
Thank you 🙏 That's lovely of you to say. Hope you do get to visit Lisbon as it is quite an amazing city indeed. 😍
beautiful city,amazing tour,thank you!
You are welcome. It sure is an awesome city. 😊👍 ~ Lee
Bom dia team frugal of 4!
Another lovely video, you guys were probably wrecked after such a long day walking around Lisbon.
For 3€ you can climb up the arch at the Praça do Comércio.
Looks like you have more than your 15mins of fame! (the poster) you'll soon have to sign autographs 😉
Wishing you a lovely week, catch you later 🤘
Cheers Sergio. That's a great tip about climbing up the arch for €3. We didn't consider it but I bet it's worth it for the view.
It was an epic day. If we had longer, we'd have gone out to Belem as well. Thankfully the family are Frugals also so they put up well with our cost saving activities. 😁 ~ Lee
Loved watching your video and can't wait until May next year for our next visit there.
That's so lovely to hear, Clare. We're happy you enjoyed this video, and we're sure you'll have an amazing time next March! We actually have a Lisbon playlist from our first visit in November 2020, when we spent 10 days walking around this beautiful city! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it! 🙏😀😁 ~ Mandy
I was in Lisbon the other week. Fabulous city. I didn't ride the tram but walked most of the line and saw much more. I also travel on a strict budget and probably have more fun than tourists spending a fortune. New subscriber.
Hello Alice, and welcome to our channel. Walking is such a great way to see a city, especially one as picturesque as Lisbon. It's great to meet another frugal traveller, and we hope you enjoy our many other videos! ~ Mandy 😁😀
WOW !!! WOW !!! WHAT A GORGEOUS VIEW at the very beginning 😍 So pretty !! 😍 A very nice ,luxury looking bus !! 🚌 Lisbon has been in my bucket list since I was a teen !! Super jealous !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Spark _ 🙏😊🌞 We had such a great time in beautiful Lisbon... I just wish we'd been able to go back a second time as there was still so much to show Ma and Gazza... oh well, maybe next time 😀😁 ,~ Mandy
Nice down to earth travellers I can relate too
That's always great to hear. Thank you! 😊😃
I love Lisboa. Great for a day trip… I did it a few times! Love to see your posters, so much fun! I hope you managed to grab one for yourself after that campaign was over! I’m sure your family would love to have one. Take care!
Thanks Jen. We love Lisboa too. Always plenty going on there. Mid summer is pretty full on. They've promised us a poster next time we go down. We didn't have the nerve to nick one off the wall. 🤣🤣 ~ Lee
Great video, I'm going there in a few weeks, so this gives me a good idea of some places to see, and some queues to avoid!
Hello Kim! We're so pleased you enjoyed this video. We were in Lisbon on a Saturday in August, so it might not be as busy in October, but It would be great to hear the difference. Lisbon is an amazing city and we hope you have a wonderful time! ~ Mandy 😁😀
Awww I used to live fairly near Jardim de Estrella. That brings back lovely memories!
How lovely. That's a very upmarket area with some lovely properties and embassies. 😊
Hey Folks .... We sure are enjoying Lisbon and taking full advantage of your great tips. We eat at Pingo and Auchan and I always think of Mandy when we score a free Loo!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 On to Sao Miguel tomorrow for a week, then back to mainland PT for four more cities. Happy trails and happy Sunday to you both!! Mike and Melody
Hello Mike & Melody. Thank you so much for this wonderful comment - we really appreciate you taking the time to write and share your experiences, and it's always great to hear from people who find our Frugal Travel Tips helpful! We've only once eaten at Auchan, when we were living in Portimão, but Pingo Doce is always one of our go-tos! Hahhha... I'm so pleased you find Mandy's Loo segments helpful... the struggle can be real when trying to find a free loo in Europe 😀🤣 Have a wonderful time in Sao Miguel - we haven't made it to the Açores yet so are a tiny bit envious... please let us know how it goes! Wishing you all the best on your travels around this beautiful country and we hope you love Portugal as much as we do! Thanks again for taking the time to comment and hopefully get that pesky RUclips algorithm sharing our channel with new viewers! 🙏👏 ~ Mandy 😁😀
Well done guys. Love Lisbon. You certainly covered a lot of ground. When was this filmed? Still a lot of tourists around. Are masks still necessary on public tpt or your choice?
Hi Cindy. Thank you. This was filmed fairly recently in early August when the family were over. We were surprised with the amount of tourists around. Tourism has really picked up now. Masks were required on public transport then but now all requirements have been thankfully dropped. 😁👍 ~ Lee
OMG !! 😲 That was one of the longest queues I've ever seen for lunch !! Lol Very beautiful church !! Fun tram rides !! Beautiful ocean !! Everyone is looking happy in this video !! I love Lisbon !! One of my dream destinations ! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💕💞
Lisbon is such an amazing city, and I'm sure you'd love it... even with all the hills, and the crowds in summer! 😁😀🌞 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers I am contemplating my visit there in the near future !! Fingers crossed 🤞💕💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
@@spark_6710 Fingers crossed indeed! 🤞😊🤞🤗🤞🌞 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks so much !! 🙏🏼 Lol.Yay !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Awesome!!!
I hope you found toilets that are open soon after that haha
Haha.... Thank you, Yaman. Free toilets can be hard to come by in Europe so we always celebrate heartily when we find one. 🎉😍
Fun video, and so cool to see the genuine look of happiness on your faces in front of your magazine cover. Did anyone recognize you?
Thanks, William. We did have great fun down there and it was strange to see our faces on the wall. No-one recognised us so I suppose we can't claim rock star status yet. 🤣🤣
Looks a great city - but I'm definitely not a person who queues!
Hello Frugal Mr B! Yep, we're not fans of queuing either but be prepared for it in Europe in August! ~ Mandy 😁😀
2:02 hey tell us the exact location of your poster, 😅😅😅, some time this year I am plan to visit Lisbon I will take the picture of us next to your poster , 😅😅😅
Oh, that would have been so wonderful! 😁🥳 Our posters were up in July and August for that edition of the Rede Expressos online magazine... which is why I am so happy that João had a copy for us! ~ Mandy 😀😁🇵🇹❤
Nice video I just love Lisbon and if not because of the UK's idiotic Brexit I would live there at least 6 months a year on the go.
Pretty but gritty that's what I love about Lisbon
Yes I know what you mean. Freedom of movement was such a wonderful thing. 😔 90 days in 180 is a lot harder to manage. Great city! 😍 ~ Lee
Hi Lee and Mandy. Love your videos and money saving tips. Was this video shot during this summer? Curious about the wearing of masks on public transportation.
☺️☺️☺️☺️
Hello AWanderingMelody. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and we're so pleased you enjoy our videos! We were in Lisbon in August, and the mask restrictions were removed that month... it just took people a while to stop wearing them! Thank you for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy 🙏😁
You can still get that view from the top of that Santa Justa lift by walking from the street above onto the platform, or so I've seen in other people's Lisbon vlogs... and I thought you could use your Via Viagem card on it? I might be out of date with that...
You might have seen that in our vlog almost 2 years ago. 😊 It's a lovely view from up there. Don't think I could fork out a fiver to ride up five storeys. It seems insane that people queue for two storeys down the steps to ride up five. 🤔. I'd rather walk up and spend the money on ice cream 🍦🍦🍦😁 ~ Lee
Hi Mandy and Lee. Catching up with your videos since Christian is back from his 6 month hospital stay. Congratulations on the cover and posters all over Lisbon. We were wondering about accessibility. Is Lisbon a wheelchair friendly city? It didn’t like it is in the video. Stay fluffy! (Eric)
Hello Eric! We are so pleased to hear that Christian is finally home again - you must both be so happy! Thank you for your kind words about our Rede Expressos magazine cover and interview... it was certainly a great experience. I don't think Lisbon is a very wheelchair friendly city. The calçadas make the pavements uneven, there aren't always a lot of lifts but mainly stairs. I hope other viewers can provide more information and advice about this important question as it wasn't something we were consciously looking out for. Wishing you both all the best for your new healthy focus and happy travels ahead! ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers thanks, guys! We are very happy! My physiotherapist is Portuguese and we were talking about it a few days ago. She said Lisbon and Porto aren't easy for wheelchair. It's something we've been paying attention to it lately. Stay Fluffy!!
You were very chipper at such an early hour in the morning!
So excited about a big day out in the smoke. 😊. We had a snooze on the bus shortly after. 🤣🤣👍 ~ Lee
Roughly what date was that? I'm going next week and hoping it's less crowded.
It was the second Saturday in August. It would be interesting to hear what it's like next week, so it would be great if you could let us know! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Hi Mandy & Lee, We are travelling to Lisbon next April and wondered if you had any advice on buying a SIM card in Portugal? What type is a good value? Where can you buy a SIM card in Lisbon? What is the value of having a SIM card for the country you are visiting instead of using your data plan from home? Can you text internationally and make phone calls and use data with a Portuguese SIM card? Any info you can share would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Hello Shirley. Thank you for your great question. We have one Portuguese SIM and it's from Lycamobile. We actually ordered it online and had it posted to one of our housesits, but I have seen some Lycamobile stores around.
We don't make international phone calls with either our UK SIM or our Portuguese SIM. We use WhatsApp or failing that, we have money on a Skype account. That way we can have the least expensive Pay As You Go plans, and we use them mainly for data.
I hope this is helpful to you. Please let us know if you have any other questions, and hopefully either we can help or one of the other viewers will be able to provide local information. Thank you for taking the time to write, and it will be interesting to hear which company/plan, if any, you decide to go with! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers Thanks very much for the info Mandy.
@@shirleywendland9479 I hope it helps. We never really go for local plans with international texts or minutes anymore... it's so easy to use WhatsApp or Skype nowadays. Lee's 4GB Lycamobile plan costs €8 per month. ~ Mandy 😀😁
My research for our trip to Lisbon and Porto revealed a hack to get to the top of Santa Justa lift, avoiding the queue and saving some cash. If you are at the top of the stairs around the lift, you need only walk less than 10 meters north (downhill) on R. do Carmo and look to your left for a shop across the street with an elevator at the back. That free elevator takes you up to the Carmo convent ruins, from which you climb a couple flights of stairs to the "bridge". It's free to walk on the bridge, and only another €1.50 if you want to climb the stairs to the platform on top of the lift.
Thank you so much for sharing this great hack, Stephen! If we'd had more time, we would have loved to have gone up to see the spectacular view from the Santa Justa lift, but we were racing to get to the renowned bifana place, which ended up being sold out anyway! We will definitely keep this in mind for the next time we're in beautiful Lisbon! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Unfortunately, the elevator in that shop seems to be out of order, so we walked south toward the river, then west one block, then back north. The hill is more manageable on foot than one might think. The deck on the very top of the lift was closed due to rain and wind, but it the level where one exits the lift was still open for free.
What time of the year was this? The places seemed crowded
August, mid summer. It does get really crowded then.
In Lisbon, take care the bags...there are many romenos thieves...
Oh no, that's so sad to hear! We didn't see any apparent thieves, and always kept an eye on our belongings. Thank you for the warning! ~ Mandy
In this case Ladra de enganar = thief to deceive. Not stolen goods at the feira da ladra.
You only get robbed at the feira if you don't know what your doing!
Haha. That is a good point. Just looked like a lot of second hand stuff to me. Probably some bargains if you want to haggle. Very interesting. 😁👍 ~ Lee
A timely video but I'm so tired of masks, must you wear them there?
Hello Bruce, and welcome to our channel! You'll be pleased to hear that masks haven't been required on public transport in Portugal for a few months now... this was filmed just before thag changed! ~ Mandy 😁😀
