Welcome to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal!
From our hotel balcony, we have a really nice view of the whole city.
There's one gigantic statue we can see in the distance. I really wonder what that is.
Maybe, one day we'll go and have a look... what that statue actually is
because it looks really, really gigantic!
This is Castelo de Sao Jorge.
The castle... it's in the center of the city and it's really on a hilltop.
It also offers an amazing view of the whole Lisbon city.
Come here!
There are some peacocks here.
These are females, I think. Right?
Oh, the sound! Try to hear the sound! How many birds are chirping at the same time!
I think these are the fe... Oh!
They're so scared of you!
There is a big cannon!
Yeah, that I see!
It's pointing to the city itself!
The sunset happens on the west side of the Lisbon city.
So... in that direction, the ocean is also over there.
So, this castle will offer the best sunset views in the whole of Lisbon.
So, this is how the city looked like in these times.
Portuguese is so easy to understand! Except — excepto,
exclusive — exclusivo, car is like caro, parking is like parkingo!
Many times here, the sidewalk is so narrow that we can't walk next to each other. Right?
Yeah! This is still big! Some of them are like this much!
That's a little bit exaggerated, I think! — No, but they were!
Whenever they turn around a corner...
Did you notice all the pillars here? Tilted... tilted... tilted... tilted!
Because you were driving here!
Look!
That's the elevator! That's what I was talking about!
If it's operating, we should go up there.
Look how it's going into the house here!
Oh, wow! What a view from here!
This city has so many epic views!
Oh, this side then?
That's the one...
My head is almost touching the other stairs.
So small.
Definitely a better view!
Don't drop!
This perspective is also crazy!
If this would be going down straight, I would be so scared!
Look at that!
That looks like a sanitizing machine.
That's a machine specially designed for COVID.
Yeah! Right!? That's crazy!
Oh, this is...
Oh, this is it?
That's very high!
Does this bridge remind you of something?
It's very similar to the San Francisco bridge in USA.
And apparently, it's made by the same company.
Welcome to USA!
It really looks like USA from this angle.
This is the Belém Tower. It was built almost exactly 500 years ago from today, in 1519.
This is the point from which Portuguese explorers used to get on and off their ships,
when starting their new journeys and coming back from their journeys.
Oh, there's too many hashtags here! You want some for your Instagram?
Yeah, sure!
There's a lot of trees here!
Yeah, Lisbon has been awarded "The European Green capital City of 2020".
And that's why, there are a lot of places in the city where they have planted trees...
in the past few years. Just trying to increase the green cover of the city.
The guy at the very front of this monument is known as 'Henry, the Navigator'.
He is the man who is credited for starting the age of exploration for the Portuguese.
This is when the Portuguese went out and discovered new lands and colonized new areas.
And here we are at the Jerónimos Monastery.
It's a UNESCO World Heritage site,
one of the most popular attractions of Lisbon.
It's built in the late 16th century with a very special architecture.
It's the late Portuguese Gothic style architecture.
Apparently, there's a tram which goes through all the famous sites.
It's called the Tram Number 28. The...
Yup!
Thank you!
So, the tram ride was quite an experience in itself!
Sometimes, the tram went through extremely narrow roads and...
... and, a couple of times, I saw the tram driver making sure that that he wouldn't scratch
any of the cars next to him while...
Yeah, once it was like really close! — Once it was like... this much.
So this is the Miradouro, the viewpoint.
The... sunset is just happening right now.
And that's the castle we went to, the other day.
Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
