I like Spain and Italy a lot... but I LOVE Portugal. Probably my favorite country out of the 38 I have been to.

Portugal is truly one of the gems of Europe. Me and my girlfriend go at least once a year. Awesome places to see, rich history, SURFING, loads of interesting native grapes meaning interesting wines, food, the great people, and for us northern europeans great weather. Not to mention the pricing. As a swede it's verging on feeling like you're not paying anything at times :)

Unlike most of the travel blogs out there, this one was actually informative. I'm headed to Portugal in 2 weeks, this was great. i especially like the lack of Arial drone video paired with EDM.

Everything you said about Portugal is absolutely true and it's also true that a surprising number of people in Portugal speak English.

I have been to a lot of towns and countries. Lisbon and whole Portugal in general is one of the few places I really really miss a lot. I loved it when I was there 2 years ago.

I was there last month and absolutely loved it. People were friendly and everyone speaks good english.

I just got back from my sister's wedding in Portugal. We flew into Lisbon and stayed in the main square the first night which was great just to see the classics of Lisbon right as we arrived. Then we took a bus to Sintra where we stayed most of the time and where the couple actually got married. And finally we ended our trip back in Lisbon and did all of the typical tours, which was actually pretty great since we had a large group and many older folks so planning and comfort were necessary. The country was stunning, even in the rain and fog and the people as a whole were very kind and engaging. I see why you lived there, I can't say I'm not thinking of moving.

Lisbon is the most incredible city i have ever visited. My favourite place in the world

[Endymaeria]

I was in Lisboa last may and I absolutely loved it! People are so nice, everybody (and their mother) speaks flawless English and the food was awesome. I still miss the Pastel de Nata in the morning. Maybe I'm an ass for thinking Portugal was as unfriendly some Italian cities but I was surprised about how helpful and friendly the Portuguese are. 10/10 would recommend! (This is a Dutchman speaking with a love for germanic and nordic countries)

Portugal has something special, maybe the people, maybe the beaches. But it's amazing to live here.

Hello from a Texan who is now living in Colombia. I can't wait to visit Portugal one day.

When I was in Brazil, I got by very well with my Portoñol. 😂

This is good stuff, man. You're an ambassador for Portugal. I'm glad you enjoy my country that much, I can tell by the way you speak, you don't hesitate between words neither you need to pause to think. Obrigado

Just came from Portugal. Lisbon is really beautiful but I like Porto more.. more laidback.. more relaxing.. I will definitely go back to Portugal but hoping to go to Algarve next time..

[nunomagalhaes]

Olá meus amigos 🙌😂 one of the best intro from your YouTube, thanks friend 🙆🙌

6:41 "You get the tugas dancing..." 😂
For the foreigners here in the comment section asking themselves what the hell are "Tugas"...
"Tuga" is just a funny name we portuguese call ourelves. A funny diminutive word for Portuguese.
Basically, a "tuga", is a Portuguese person. (And tugas is the plural. Well, you get it...)

*_seafood_* - Mark shows a sunfish when discussing delicious fish of Portugal. 😂😂
*_vinho verde_* - low alcohol fizzy white wine...great for day drinking!!
*_bread_* - Same with the pretzels in Prague, don't eat anything already on your table to avoid surprise charges.
This was an awesome video. Loved the new and vintage pics! 👍

Just returned from Lisboa - they have a fantastic aquarium! We had a great tour around the city in a tuk-tuk, 20 euros per person and well worth it. Also, try a white port spritzer, great summer drink.
