I am Brazilian and this video brings tear in my eyes looking all architecture that I really admire in my country and makes me realize how Portuguese is the splendor in the best of Brazil that's fading away with time. Looks like in Portugal this memory is still really vivid. Great video!
4:08 Notice the purple trees on the left? Those are Jacaranda trees! You might be familiar with them because they're native to your country, Brazil. They were obviously imported to Lisbon. Jacarandas are gorgeous and exotic because of their brilliant purple flowers: they're very particular about where they grow, so they're rare, but they happen to grow nicely in my home town of Los Gatos in the Bay Area! Thanks Brazil! Thanks Gustavo!
SIMKINETICS They grow in Australia as well. There’s a city in Austrália that is famous because of the Jacaranda trees “imported” from Brazil. There’s even something similar to a parade that takes place every year to celebrate the blossoming of the Jacarandá. It’s beautiful!!
Most things fade in time but are usually replaced with something else. Brazil has something that's so beautiful, so heart warming, it's the envy of the entire world. It's the music of Brazil. I love it.
@@fernandosr2001 Jacaranda also grow in Pretoria, South Africa. Not sure if they are indigenous here. We get many Japanese groups visiting Pretoria just to see the Jacaranda trees. Sorry for belated comment
@@brigittebenjamin9528 - The origin of Jacaranda is Argentina Paraguai e Brasil but same species like Dalbergia are also distributed at Africa, Madagáscar, Austrália and Asia.
No matter what people say Portugal is with no doubt one of the most relaxing and beautiful countries in the world. Besides the country being small there is so much diversity especially food and sightseeing so beautiful.
Bruno Torres it’s cringe what you said because you are portuguese It’s like posting a meme on Facebook and then like your own post xD Well but I guess what you said it’s true

I totally agree. I have enjoyed all of his guides so far and still have many to watch. I appreciate anyone who can pursue a career over many years and still keep to and standard throughout.
Lisbon, Portugal was the first place that I’ve ever been to in Europe! I can’t wait to go back! It’s probably one of my favorite places in the entire world! Porto is also amazing as well! All of Portugal is beautiful! I can’t wait to return!
I hung out on the streets of Lisbon selling artwork for a while. It makes me emotional to see the hidden gems that I would discover while wandering around town. Love this country, and this city has my heart.
I love lisbon. Portugal is amazing and nothing can deny that. I have roots from portugal and my ancestors were very lucky. I went to porto,lisbon,algarve,and aveiro.
My favourite city to visit. I've been visiting since 1983 when I was intrigued by a comment in the 'Hitchhikers Guide To Europe" that suggested it was an interesting time to visit the country after its revolution of 1974. The city that I visited then was a bit downtrodden with all of the public transport (trams and buses) dating from the 1920s and 1930, but it was utterly charming. At that time, all of the city squares, that you see in this video, were car parks. The city was buzzing but a bit dirty. It was certainly off the beaten track. It was fairly hard to get to - not many affordable flights then, and it was easier to travel by train or bus. At that time, a lot of the population had emigrated to work in France. The city has certainly cleaned up a lot but I do miss some of the old Lisbon that has gone forever. When I first visited, there was no charge to visit the Castle and there seemed to be some sort of menagerie there while the locals played cards. There was also a tram (trolley) that went pretty much straight up to the castle. Sadly a lot of it has gone, and you have to take a bus (or walk). Still, it is always nice to go back from time to time.
Your comment brings back so many memories ... I was a student in Lisbon in 1966 when Salazar and the dictatorship still existed and, politics aside, life was so slow and sweet and 19th century style ... although there was poverty and life was very simple, there were no horrible slums, everything was clean and very safe and the people were so sweet and truly hospitable ... I have been back many times and have seen the modernization and many, many very welcome improvements but the Portuguese character has not really changed. It's my favorite place.
As a brazilian, I love Portugal architecture and food, to imagine that 2 centuries ago Rio de Janeiro was similar to this... I feel ashamed everytime I see to what it is now
Don't be. in forty years at the most, Lisbon will be much worse than the worst favela in Rio. (a favela is a characteristic slum in Rio de Janeiro, notorious for its extreme misery, extreme violence and horrible life conditions)

Proud of being a Portuguese! I want to thank you for this review of our country and Lisbon! Every opinion is important for us and I appreciate your support! God bless you sir! :3
Tiaguh hi, I’m planning my first trip to Lisbon in September. I don’t know anyone there. It would be wonderful if I can meet up and hang out with a local friend like you. Would you like meet?
I am a Indian after watching Steve's all programs I really enjoying bcoz Steve's explore everything history and culture and food also I have say no words about Steve's you are the great person 👍
All of Portugal, from north to south to its Atlantic islands, is simply stunning. A tiny European country with a gargantuan history filled with culture and tradition. Portugal has remained true to its roots and has not been swept away by modernity as have many other. In this fact is Portugal made unique. A must see for lovers of history and historic authenticity. Adore my Lusitanian heritage.
I truly love Portugal. The people are friendly and welcoming. Also love the pastel de Nata and travesseiros ❤ in Casa Piriquita in Sintra. I will be back for more 😊
I'm always afraid of using superlatives! You have to leave an opening for the unexpected! Ah! I'm Portuguese and live away from Portugal but I often visit! Ah! Regardless, I love my country!
I've been fortunate enough to go to Lisbon twice, and I absolutely love the city. Beautiful architecture, wonderful people, great food.... It is so sad that we did not see the city as it was prior to the 1755 earthquake. Still, I would go back any time.
@@wendyburgess5805I would go but I want to tour England first just to see my home country. But Portugal is very interesting warmer climate and I'm Sri Lankan there is Portuguese influence in the food
Hi Rick hope you are well. Just wanted to say thank you on 2 counts. 1. I was in isolation a year ago after spending 2 nights in hospital with covid & at the same time a family member passed away from cancer/covid issues and your videos really helped me to focus on something positive and get me through that time. 2. Ive seen some of the charitable acts you have done within your business and to your wider community and you deserve huge applause for this. Take Care, Rich.
Es una ciudad hermosa, señorial, acogedora, hecha a escala humana. En ella se respira su historia y para un visitante es imposible abstraerse de su tradición marinera y exploradora. Lisboa es distinta de otras capitales europeas y esto es motivo de natural orgullo. Conocí Lisboa y me encantó, y volveré a ella toda las veces que sea pueda. Saludos.

Nice work!!Portugal is the most peaceful/beautiful/friendly country In the world...a small paradise! Lisbon is just one of the wonderful cities we have! We have wonderful food and beautiful beaches from the Nort to the south, and the amazing Açores and Madeira...i am Portuguese, i travel around the world and when i say i am Portuguese every one smile and talk good thinks, i am proud of my Country!

Was in Lisbon Dec 18... favourite restaurant was Cervejaria Ramiro ... had dinner There twice in 3 days.. would return to Lisbon just for this.. hope Businesses in Lisbon will see through these times
Before the Romans there were many others: the original ones, Iberians and Celtiberians, then the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Alans, Vandals, Sueves, Visigoths, Moors, Crusaders and the new invaders - the Western oligharcs who are buying and destroying the country! What Napoleon couldn't do, the new barbarians, the Americans and their media, are easily doing!... I'm proud and love my country - Portugal, the first global empire with a long history, rich culture, plenty of castles, monuments, and museums, beautiful cities, unique natural landscapes, huge maritime resources and... excellent food and wines! God help, one day I'll go back!
Europe grand ambassador.Sir we travelled Europe through your videos.Your voice ,narration and exploring ancient world and today's modern world are treat to our eyes.Thankyou sir,from India.Hats off.
Thanks Rick from Spain. I will go to Lisbon on June. I am sure that it is a great city and country. You can find lovely people, amazing traditions and a lot of culture there. Viva Portugal!
Watched it because your BULGARIA, ROMANIA , Tuscany & St. Francis visits were magnificent and documented in the most pure form. Love your work Sir. Greetings from INDIA👆👍😍
We just arrived in Lisbon yesterday. This video so spot on, and really captures the layout and nature of this beautiful city from the food to the layout of the city. I found it to be more helpful than them, the litany of 10 things to do in Lisbon as this ties everything together in a historic context.
I'd love to tour a city like this with Rick Steves! - he's fun, witty, speaks well and is knowledgeable!! Thanks for a great and never-ending list of places to visit!!
One of my favorite cities to visit and live in even though yet i haven't been there. Thank Rick Steve for choosing Lisbon as your new city to film and provide us with beautiful pictures and information, well done!
@WHAT'A FUN I'M DOING HERE?!?! I totally believe you, it does fascinate me knowing these type of cities do actually exists that won't bore you or stop amaze you .
Great to see appreciation of Lisbon and its vibe. 😁☀️ I wanted to share my Lisbon travel series, In the Mood For Lisbon: @ I recently moved here in this city, really wanted to share my passion for this city. Enjoy!
Excellent stuff, Rick! Always welcome to return. Oh and for all those Photography enthusiasts out there, make sure to do a photo tour with a Lisbon born and raised professional photographer!
I live 20 miles south down the coast from where Vasco da Gama landed, in Calicut. My state Kerala, India was also the destination for Christopher Columbus and what he could not, da Gama achieved. Actually, Kerala kickstarted the whole era of geographical explorations, an area rich in spices that da Gama wanted to buy for Portugal. He was buried in a church in Kochi, and later taken away and reburied in Lisbon. So Kerala and Portugal are connected from the times of Gama. Portugal became rich due to this spice trade with Kerala, so no Kerala , no America haha
There are more. Lots and lots more! Almost all of them actually. Here's an easier way to navigate them all on Rick Steves' website: www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/video/tv-show
Hey Rick you and your crew is doing an amazing work making us walk a mile or two in your shoes making us realise that thrs a lot to discover on this beautiful planet. Good going man keep it up love from India...👍
I was wondering this too, so i decided to look it up... It turns our San Francisco actually used horse drawn street cars before Lisbon did. San Francisco also seemed to have switched to electric street cars about 30 years before they appeared in Lisbon. So given the context i think it's fair to say that, historically, Lisbon has a San Francisco vibe when it comes to street cars
Regardless of who came first, he is American and the video is targeted towards Americans so the comparison should be to something most Americans know: San Francisco
@@prado1205 right, the order isn't important. It doesn't matter whether apples taste like cider, or if cider tastes like apples. All you want to know is who is selling you the product? In this case; an American. Exclusively reaching American speakers. If switching the origins around makes it easier to convey the message, he'll do so... Well, either way, if both cities (and maybe even others) were able to get use out of this system, it seems like a win for everyone :)
I have had no greater experience of travel to any European city than Lisbon. After 15 days of wondering and being amazed at every turn Lisbon is my ultimate fantasy for my golden years. It has everything. So cosmopolitan and captivating. Stunning views and vistas at every point. It is indeed singular, like none other. Fascinating!
Thank you Rick Steves for making education so much fun! And your amazing videos are free and your app is so helpful! Who doesn't want to travel after watching them? We had to rewind this video a few times to watch your funny trick at the end😀
The Vas code Gama, he was in Fort Kochi (India) in his last days. He was buried in fort Kochi, it's called Vas cod Gama square. Later his grave was moved to Portugal.
Obrigado Rick! Contrary to some "Velhos do Restelo" I still believe in Portugal, my country! Enough is to stop the traitors who are selling and destroying our wonderful nation!
Maravilhoso! Espetacular. Great! Spectacular! What a wonderful film. I am really happy I discovered your channel. Thank you so much for making all of us brazilians, brasileiros, like I, and portuguese people in Brazil see this wonderful country and dream of knowing personaly. You channel is really great!
I went to portugal when i was 14 (2 years ago) and it was one of the most fun experiences of my life. The culture is very historic, and the food there is absolutely the best. I lost 10 pounds there due to the food being such high quality. This helped me cut weight for my weightlifting state tournament!
I have a fourteen year old that I would like to take there next summer. Could you please tell me if there was something in particular you enjoyed (besides the food)?
I had a chance to visit Lisbon in May 2018. Eurovision Song Contest was held but was unable to attend the final because we have to proceed to Spain and France as scheduled. Will be visiting again in the future.
I've never been to a place where no one bothered me at all. Lisbon was awesome, I felt free. And at peace.
Portuguese people are amazing! I am from Finland, so I am not biased. ;)
I was there once,my soul never returnet back home.Greetings from Macedonia.

Ahhhh! Thats what Im talking about. Beautiful European culture.
My favourite city to visit. I've been visiting since 1983 when I was intrigued by a comment in the 'Hitchhikers Guide To Europe" that suggested it was an interesting time to visit the country after its revolution of 1974. The city that I visited then was a bit downtrodden with all of the public transport (trams and buses) dating from the 1920s and 1930, but it was utterly charming.
At that time, all of the city squares, that you see in this video, were car parks. The city was buzzing but a bit dirty. It was certainly off the beaten track. It was fairly hard to get to - not many affordable flights then, and it was easier to travel by train or bus. At that time, a lot of the population had emigrated to work in France.
The city has certainly cleaned up a lot but I do miss some of the old Lisbon that has gone forever. When I first visited, there was no charge to visit the Castle and there seemed to be some sort of menagerie there while the locals played cards. There was also a tram (trolley) that went pretty much straight up to the castle. Sadly a lot of it has gone, and you have to take a bus (or walk).

Thank you for taking us to Lisbon, Portugal. I really enjoyed it ❤
Lisbon, Portugal is fantastic
I live 20 miles south down the coast from where Vasco da Gama landed, in Calicut. My state Kerala, India was also the destination for Christopher Columbus and what he could not, da Gama achieved. Actually, Kerala kickstarted the whole era of geographical explorations, an area rich in spices that da Gama wanted to buy for Portugal. He was buried in a church in Kochi, and later taken away and reburied in Lisbon. So Kerala and Portugal are connected from the times of Gama. Portugal became rich due to this spice trade with Kerala, so no Kerala , no America haha
El video es precioso!!!!!! gracias por compartir tus experiencias, espero seguir disfrutando de todos tus vídeos.👍👍👏👏👏🍀🍀

blues man e a destrui-lo.!

You mean that San Francisco has a Lisbon vibe?
I was wondering this too, so i decided to look it up... It turns our San Francisco actually used horse drawn street cars before Lisbon did. San Francisco also seemed to have switched to electric street cars about 30 years before they appeared in Lisbon. So given the context i think it's fair to say that, historically, Lisbon has a San Francisco vibe when it comes to street cars
Regardless of who came first, he is American and the video is targeted towards Americans so the comparison should be to something most Americans know: San Francisco
@@prado1205 right, the order isn't important. It doesn't matter whether apples taste like cider, or if cider tastes like apples. All you want to know is who is selling you the product? In this case; an American. Exclusively reaching American speakers. If switching the origins around makes it easier to convey the message, he'll do so...
Well, either way, if both cities (and maybe even others) were able to get use out of this system, it seems like a win for everyone :)
Maurice sure, but if you only ate cider your whole life and I were making a video on apples, I’d tell you “Apples taste like cider”
@@prado1205 Wouldn't it be a bit strange though to consume cider all your life but never once try to find out what it's made of?
Looks a very beautiful city
Love from🇵🇰🇵🇰
Thank GOD for foods. Let us taste the Great Nature's generous offering and the creative cooking
I love Lisboa! 💛
I have had no greater experience of travel to any European city than Lisbon.
After 15 days of wondering and being amazed at every turn Lisbon is my ultimate fantasy for my golden years.
It has everything.
So cosmopolitan and captivating.
Stunning views and vistas at every point.
It is indeed singular, like none other.
Fascinating!
YES, it is
The passion and enthusiasm of this man!
💛💛💛
Thank you Rick Steves for making education so much fun! And your amazing videos are free and your app is so helpful! Who doesn't want to travel after watching them? We had to rewind this video a few times to watch your funny trick at the end😀
best European video, i like it
The Vas code Gama, he was in Fort Kochi (India) in his last days. He was buried in fort Kochi, it's called Vas cod Gama square. Later his grave was moved to Portugal.
Obrigado Rick! Contrary to some "Velhos do Restelo" I still believe in Portugal, my country! Enough is to stop the traitors who are selling and destroying our wonderful nation!
Excellent Mr. Stevens.I don't need to go to Lisbon.I got the juice of Portugal.Thank. you
I love ❤️ minha nação, Portugal
Maravilhoso! Espetacular. Great! Spectacular!
What a wonderful film. I am really happy I discovered your channel.
Thank you so much for making all of us brazilians, brasileiros, like I, and portuguese people in Brazil see this wonderful country and dream of knowing personaly.
You channel is really great!
Uh ... Isn't it San Francisco that has a LIsbon vibe, rather?
Portugal is so underrated
No it's not. It has a very good rate ;)
'Underrated' is an overrated word. And overused too.
I went to portugal when i was 14 (2 years ago) and it was one of the most fun experiences of my life. The culture is very historic, and the food there is absolutely the best. I lost 10 pounds there due to the food being such high quality. This helped me cut weight for my weightlifting state tournament!
I have a fourteen year old that I would like to take there next summer. Could you please tell me if there was something in particular you enjoyed (besides the food)?
LISBON BEAUTIFUL.
A beautiful city- great video as always.
I had a chance to visit Lisbon in May 2018. Eurovision Song Contest was held but was unable to attend the final because we have to proceed to Spain and France as scheduled. Will be visiting again in the future.
