be sure to check that out yes it's an instant download we will link that below and up in the
corner all right let's get into Lisbon let's get into it number 13 on the list is pink street so
honestly this will take five minutes but it is very unique yeah to walk down so it actually used
to be the old red light district in Lisbon and they the city has been kind of trying to convert
that area into a more positive touristy area yeah and so the street is pink the above the streets
with all the restaurants is lined with different colored umbrellas it's a good photo op it's just
kind of cool to walk down yeah it does get super busy so if you want to avoid getting in there with
a ton of people and restaurants being crowded and stuff go there early in the morning I think we did
and it was pretty calm and peaceful yeah number 12 on the list is praça de são paulo so this is
a little church in a square and downtown Lisbon and we found it really unique because a lot of the
city is really hustling and bustling and this like little picturesque white church and the square
like you can just kind of get a coffee sit on the bench watch people as they go by it kind of
feels like you're in a smaller town not right in the middle of Lisbon and it's really good
for photos as well number 11 is the LX Factory so this is a really unique old industrial site
that's been converted into a massive like kind of shopping mall yeah it's really cool we've
already tried some of the food there's a ton of food vendors a ton of shopping yeah a chocolate
place we're gonna have to go check out [Music] so excited yeah it is a little bit out of the way
if you're walking through most of Lisbon which is definitely possible if you're staying kind of
in the downtown region you might want to take a cab to the LX Factory number 10 is to admire the
street art so there is some pretty impressive street art all around Lisbon one of our personal
favorites was a two-story Fox made out of like recycled materials and garbage really we'll put
the GPS coordinates to that below and we'll link some of our other favorite street art locations
as well but really if you're walking around you're going to see it on a lot of different buildings
stuff like that yeah keep your eye out because it's literally everywhere yeah all over Lisboa
number nine on the list is Bairro Alto and it is a really trendy hip little neighborhood with
cobblestone streets it's a really good place for like specialty shops they've got like cork
Furniture vintage clothing different things like that some specialty food shops and lots of street
art there's also a few viewpoints churches and a funicular in this neighborhood number eight on
the list is the Lisbon Cathedral so this is a very picturesque spot the tram line runs right in front
of it it's one of the oldest churches in Lisbon it's open from Seven until seven and it's free
admission so it is a really good place to check out number seven on the list is really one of our
favorite places in the city you have to go eat at Time Out Market so this is basically a
high-end food court with little booths from different restaurants around the city where
they offer different dishes for a fraction of the price that they would serve at their
restaurants I still dream about the donuts that we got at this donut shop there they're
like deluxe donuts and they are so delicious oh my gosh thats so good it's
like crumble with Oreo in there they're ridiculously priced but I would honestly
go back in a heartbeat and probably spend 50 worth of donuts so good yeah yeah they were so honestly
all the food was so good they've got every type of food you can imagine and most of the dishes were
kind of between like 10 and 20 euros so nothing crazy when you're talking about high-end food in
in Lisbon yeah go hungry be ready to eat yeah we actually went for lunch and dinner in the same
day so just you know keep that in mind number six on the list is grabbing a drink and heading down
to the Waterfront and enjoying the sunset while we were in Lisbon and the rest of Portugal we had
some amazing sunsets so this is a really good way to unwind after a long day of traveling through
the streets and enjoying all the Magnificent food yes and the cool thing about this one is I've
heard from people recently who have visited that this food truck basically is still there so
when we left the timeout Market we walked onto the river and there was this setup and they were
making fresh pina coladas yeah so very delicious keep your eyes peeled for that they put them in
a pineapple and you can just sit and watch the sunset and it is wonderful number five on the
list is to wander around the Alfama so this is the old town of Lisbon and it is where most of
these sites are located they're either within it or within walking distance this is where we'd
recommend you stay if you have the option but it's full of shops viewpoints Cathedrals it's got
pretty much everything you need great restaurants so definitely spend some time just walking the
streets and enjoying this neighborhood number four on the list is taking a day trip to Sintra
so beautiful castles in Sintra I'm sure if you Googled photos in Portugal some of these places
that have come up we were blown away by some of the castles here they are just magnificent it's
a 40 minute train ride from Lisbon and definitely worth it if you want to spend a few days here
we'd also recommend that and we have a YouTube all about it so if you want to check out that
video we'll link it below in the description number three on the list is St George's Castle or
the Castello de São Jeorge it is on the highest hill in Lisbon and it gives you 360 degree views
of the city so even if you're not a huge history buff this is a really cool place to go we would
highly highly recommend it you can walk here easily from the alfama I think it took us like
I don't know 15-20 minutes to get there we're going up very cute like cobblestone streets
and past all these shops and then once you get inside the castle you can walk walls there
are food trucks at the entrance there's a bunch of history there that you can learn about
and once you leave there's a bunch of shops and awesome places to get gelato or souvenirs
gelato oh that gelato number two on the list is Miradouro De Santa Luzia this is a stunning
Viewpoint which is what Miradouro actually means um it is our favorite one for sure Lisbon like
it's a beautiful little garden they're playing music and it just looks out over the city and
we spent a while there actually if you want to enjoy like sunrise or Sunset there as well be
a good place for it definitely yeah you can see over all of the Red Roofs down to the water
the churches the white wash buildings it is very quintessential yeah Portuguese Town yeah
it can get pretty busy with uh the old Instagram photo shoots but it's worth it yeah just walk a
lot there's like quite a long stretch of railing that you can walk along so just try to find a
spot and claim it for a few minutes and take in The View throw some elbows up if youre in a
mood I'm always in a mood when there's a crowd this is a really good place to stop on your
way back to the Alfama from St George's Castle Number one on the list is to visit the it's a
big one too all right guys we're doing our best of these pronunciations to visit the Arco da
Rua Augusta and Praça de Comercio so this is the famous arch at the end of the most popular
street in Lisbon leading to a waterfront square um it's it's done it's incredible yeah it's so
beautiful definitely go here early in the morning yeah so here's a really good tip actually for
all of Portugal people wake up drink their coffee have their breakfast and then they get rolling
around like 10 or 11 A.M so if you want places to yourselves for photos go early in the morning
it'll be dead but any time later in the day it's gonna be crazy see you you will also have better
lighting because it is obviously an iconic photo spot if you're looking for good photos going
early in the morning it's really good for that all right that wraps it up thank you guys so
