Our first 2 weeks in Lisbon for a new content series has flown by. Our opinion of the Portuguese capital has changed quite a bit. Join us for this Live Stream to ask us how it has changed, if it’s for the positive or negative, and what this means for our future. Let’s have fun together on a Saturday night (or afternoon, or morning depending on where you are).

47:07 " Are usually warmer in welcoming people. This decrease as you go down "
well…. people get rough around the edges as you go south… but that doesn't mean…. I better shut up
How could you guys have missed to mention Arroios, once named the coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out? Finally saw our neighborhood (we chose our apartment virtually due to the covid restrictions), have gone around it and we are definitely loving it.😍
Campo de Ourique Will have a metro station with in the next 5 years !
I was hugely lucky to find a T2 (with a garden in back and takes a dog!) in Lapa! With a parking space! i would agree Campo de Ouerique is really ideal the “City within a City,” ; a lot of French expats live there. But you dont mention Belem which, albeit further out, is a really lovely neighborhood. Also Ave Liberdade is central but maybe not so residential. Oriente is kinda cool too but more a place to visit; its very modern, not very authentic. Ill take you on a tour of my flat and neighborhood if you want—its “Ambassador’s Hill” As several homes of Ambassadors are right in the area (USA, China, Romania, Netherlands, etc).,Ill come to your meetup! I went to Porto first and agree nits a good place to start. All depends if you like city or country.
Are you guys planning to buy a car or mass transit is sufficient enough to get around in Portugal?
Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for your 3rd impressions on Lisbon.
Great content as usual. Is it possible to do another mini meetup sooner? I am leaving on 26th. Thank you!
I think Parque das Nações is… too different. There are a few Lisbon-Lisbon neighborhoods more representative and not so central as the other four: Ajuda/Belém and Alvalade, for instance. If you love Avenidas Novas, Alvalade is even better because it has not that many office buildings.
Graça, closer to the center, is one of the most charismatic neighborhoods in Lisbon.
However, the hype is around Arroios and Marvila. Arroios is probably the most global bairro in Lisbon.
As a visitor with only one week to visit Portugal what places would you advise to see in a 7 day period of time?
For flat areas, the grid of Campo de Ourique is one, then you got Avenidas Novas and Alvelade.
Saldanha is in Avenidas Novas
I’ll try to make it to the meet-up! What’s the schedule? The 27th @ ?
Josh & Kalie Lisbon is Lisbon ( o resto e' paisagem )
I’m constantly amazed at josh and his really great Portuguese accent. Kalie is going great too! Much better than previous videos. Josh I’m an English major grad so I gotta correct your English lol. Ahh the Irony 😀You used the word expand instead of expound. don’t worry everyone makes that mistake even college professors. So don’t feel bad. I heard a science professor the other day say “ chomping at the bit” when the correct saying is “champing at the bit”. You guys do great work love your videos. Sorry about my grammar policing.
Thanks Kalie & Josh for this great video. Very helpful and super pumped for the upcoming videos. 👍🏻 👍🏻 BTW—I couldn’t make out the walkable area you mentioned at 43:50. Could you spell that out again? My Portuguese is still terrible. 😵💫 Obrigado. 🙏🏻

@honeymoonalways Dan and Michelle, we’ll be moving to Lisbon in a few months and will totally hit you up for the dog sitting service! 🤩
Another info-filled video! Glad you are enjoying your life in Portugal. Hugs & kisses to Cia!❤️
I heard there are lots of windy days in Lisbon. Is it true?
Looking forward to knowing something about the house market
Really appreciate your hard work. I am looking into the possibility to retire to it. We will go there to explore further this fall
