48 Hours in Lisbon, Portugal | Everything to See & Do

We have arrived in Portugal for our family holiday & have 48 hours to explore this colourful city of Lisbon!

-----

First up we caught one of these crazy white tuk tuks up to Sao Jorge Castle to explore the medieval castle of Lisbon city but not before Mum decided to take too many selfies...

Our bellies started to grumble and we were ready to try some local Portuguese food...a paella which we now realise is Spanish (haha, we will make this mistake up for you in a future video)!

When we asked you what we should do and eat, a resounding support of the Pastel de Nata came through...you guys love your custard tarts...and to be honest we do too!

Next stop is Praca do Comercial by the sea before moving onto the famous Pink street...which... well wasn't as pink as we thought it would be!

We then stumbled upon a little street market that was selling Sangria and Pastel De Bacalhau which had an incredibly cool vibe to end our first day.

Up bright and early we decided to beat the crowds and go at 7am to Santa Justa lift to find the best views of Lisbon city.

Our biggest bucket list in Lisbon was to go to Bairro Alto to ride the old yellow trams :)

After catching up with the family again we made our way to Pena Palace to end our unforgettable 2 days in this city...and wow this fairytale palace is a must see!

[Hey_WeiWyn]

[patriciaalegre]

Portugal should have so much more recognition <3 <3 Beautiful beaches, amazing food, loving people!!
I am a proud portuguese <3

[NazareAmorim]

Eating Paella in Lisbon? Our cuisine is so good I don’t understand you coming to Portugal and eating a Spanish dish.

[nadiawitton]

I recently began following your adventures and I'm absolutely loving it! What a wonderful life you're living together. Thanks for sharing the world with us (& especially all the food 😍)

[luismarques]

You are in Portugal and ask for a Paella!? C'mon, there's seafood rice that is typical from Portugal and is way much better than paella....Nice video. Lisbon is the best

[sudeepta]

Your dad and Mum are so adorable and really good travel companions 😍, your dads voice is so like a perfect voiceover voice 👍🏻

[Nicole-vstt]

Ahhh I'm loving this video. I never travel with my parents anymore but over 10 years ago we went to Lisbon for my mum's 60th birthday, which my dad organised as a surprise. It was really cool watching this video and remembering places we went to 😁
P.s your folks are fab!

[flyingthenest]

The family holiday has officially begun :) hope you are all enjoying the new additions to Flying the Nest!! p.s. what's your plans for the weekend?

[walkingwithsteve]

Why on earth are you both not award winners for cinematics, humour, influence, editing and caring family. You’ve inspired me to buy gimbal and I’ve started filming locally on my ambulance off days. Thanks so much. My Chanel has 8 subscribers lol. SteveMac

[esraaismail]

I feel like the one of the only reason i would travel the world is just for food 🥘

[bspark]

Enjoyed the video - just a heads up for anybody else visiting Peña Palace, the garden ticket no longer includes access to the terrace (outside of the castle). You have to book palace tickets in advance.

[amystaahs]

I love Stephen's mom!! His parents are the cutest!!

[LiArianrhod]

I forgot to say...if you have the time, pls take a boat trip to the Douro Valley wine region (Porto). It is completely breathtaking! :)

One of the best restaurants to try "Francesinhas" is "Café Santiago" at Porto downtown. But the best vegetarian "Francesinhas" are at "Al Forno da Baixa".

You can also stroll along the Douro riverside ("Ribeira"), watch the sunset in the "garden of the joyful promenade" (jardim do passeio alegre - Foz do Douro - Porto) or visit the Fort of Francisco Xavier (mostly known as "Cheese Castle" :)). There are still so many things to see. I hope you enjoy it!

[TheWanderfulLifeofKayla]

Yay for a new series! I love following you guys along your travels! And another great video per usual! Cant wait for the rest of the series! Hope you enjoyed the family time!

[LadyOfSummer]

Looks like you're all having a blast, can't wait to see what's your next stop in Portugal! So many people only stop in to see Lisbon and never head inland.

[huntrrams]

Love this! Did you guys used the Lisboa Card?

[ingridnangle]

Your mum is such a lovely lady 😊 so idolising u also... her son! So great to see u all together

[Ritinha]

Next time you are in Portugal definitely must visit Porto. You will love it

Again: thanks for sharing with the rest of the world. About the elevator thing, a beautiful moment I had once, in return for your amazing adventures: after our marriage, we had a one-day honeymoon trip down to Oklahoma City. And the next morning I got up pretty early (compared to my lovely vampire wife) and went to the roof of the hotel to take pics of the sunrise. And on this whole roof there was just one other guy. Playing bagpipes. We had a short conversation. He was from Idaho and heading south (with his family) to play the bagpipes on his father's grave. He was just practising. So I didn't take a photo. Just let him have his privacy. But I'll never forget this moment up on the roof of almost all Oklahoma City.
Have a great time in Portugal. Greetings from the north of Germany!

Finally made it to Lisbon, thanks for the tips
