【Journal】ポルトガル旅行 リスボン┊︎世界遺産の街で観光、名物エッグタルト巡りを楽しむ2泊3日┊︎ヨーロッパ旅行vlog
Hello, this is somnig. I had a lot of free time due to various reasons,
so I went on an overseas trip✈️ to Portugal and Spain for about 3 weeks.
It’s my first time in Western Europe! I took a lot of photos and videos, so I’m going to deliver a vlog & journal like a diary. In this video, I’ll introduce you to Lisbon, Portugal🇵🇹 I hope you enjoy it like BGM for work✈️ I took the Narita Express for the first time to go to Narita Airport. I was actually planning to go by bus or train, but I left home late and didn’t make it in time…lol I didn’t know the Narita Express was so comfortable. I felt that it was very good to be able to act with plenty of time until the flight. I used Qatar Airways to go to Lisbon. First, I went from Narita to Doha. The plan was to transfer in Doha and head to Lisbon. This is the second time in my life that I’ve used Qatar Airways. It was a flight of more than 10 hours, but there were no particular problems and I was able to spend it comfortably. I love the view from the window of the plane before the flight. I feel like I’m going to be taken to an unknown world, and no matter how many times I fly, I get excited. On this flight, I could see the beautiful Mt. Fuji from the window and there was an announcement on the plane 🗻 I was sitting by the window, so when I was taking pictures, some passengers handed me their cameras and asked me if I could take a picture for them, and I had the slightly unusual experience of taking pictures for them many times. Now, my 3 weeks journey is about to begin. What kind of scenery will I encounter? 📸 When I fly with Qatar Airways, there is one drink I always order. It’s “mango juice” 🥭 Middle Eastern mangoes are said to be the sweetest and most delicious in the world! It is said that the royal family of Dubai also buys them up in droves. The good thing about Qatar Airways is that you can enjoy such sweet and delicious mango juice. If you have only ever drunk water or coffee on an airplane, please try mango juice. However, it may be too rich and make you thirsty, so I recommend that you also get water. I practiced the pronunciation of “Mango” many times before boarding. “Can I have a Mango Juice?” Because, I’m not good at pronaunce of English… but Finally I got a beautiful Mango juice..👌 Anyway, I arrived in Lisbon. Since my flight arrived in the morning, I first left my luggage in a coin locker and headed straight into the city. All the exterior walls in the city were yellow and bright, and I was overwhelmed by the completely different world of Japan. Everything in Lisbon is cute! Just walking around the city makes my heart flutter. Speaking of Lisbon, this yellow tram is famous, and I’ve always admired it after seeing it in various books and photos. Since I’m here, I’ll put a photo in a prominent place at the front. This colorful and cute card is called the Lisboa Card. *Lisbon is written as “Lisbon” in English, but in Portuguese it is called “Lisboa”. With this card, you can ride the trams, cable cars, elevators in tourist spots, subways, buses, etc. that run through Lisbon as much as you like. You can also ride the train to the neighboring town of Sintra for free. It’s a great deal, as it allows you to use 27 facilities, including monasteries and towers that are World Heritage sites, for free. Lisbon has many slopes and stairs, and you have to move around a lot, So it was really helpful to be able to use the bus and train easily. For adults, it’s 20 euros for 24 hours, and 34 euros for 28 hours. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely useful to have. I think I’ll buy it next time. There are only a limited number of places where you can buy the Lisbon Card, so it’s a good idea to buy it as soon as you find it. I was able to buy it when I arrived at Lisbon airport and before getting on the subway. It’s a thin paper card, but like Japanese train ticket “Suica”, it records your entry and exit just by holding it over the ticket gate at the station or the reading machine on the bus. I think that I don’t see paper cards very often in Japan. I feel like they still use the method of inserting paper into the machine… Japan could be more high-tech! I thought. Above all, I like it because the design is cute. I think it’s an abstract depiction of Lisbon’s colorful cityscape and the World Heritage towers. It’s a good memory now, but the weather was so bad that it’s almost laughable that my trip to Portugal was not so good. While it was spring-like in Tokyo and reached 20-25 degrees, it was only about 10 degrees in Lisbon, and there was a strong rain and wind warning, so we couldn’t go very close to the sea. Sadly, it was a terrible trip with many facilities temporarily closed due to bad weather. Still, when I think back on it, I only have happy memories. Maybe it’s because there are many places in Lisbon that are fun even in rainy weather. It was a shame that I couldn’t go to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the European continent, but it also made me determined to definitely come back again! I’ve been to many European cities so far, but there are only a few cities that make me feel like I want to come back! That’s how much I like this country. I would recommend this country to both experienced travelers and those who are not. In Portugal, there are tiles called “azulejos” that are used on the exterior walls of the city. The patterns and colors vary depending on the building, and it’s fun just to look at them. In the azulejo shops, antique azulejos made in the Middle Ages are on sale. It was interesting to look around at the designs from that era. On this day, we went to see the “Monument to the Discoveries”. It is a huge monument overlooking the Tagus River. At the front is Prince Henry the Navigator, a great Portuguese man. It was built in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator, who was active during the Age of Discovery. At that time in Europe, the geocentric theory was mainstream, so there was a superstition that if you went to the edge of the map, you would fall off. Prince Henry set out for the sea to dispel this superstition, and discovered various islands and countries. We walked straight along the water’s edge to the monument, and it was a very quiet place where we could only hear the sound of the waves, which was very nice. The monument is 52 meters tall and is shaped like a sailing ship. When you see it up close, you’ll be surprised at how thin it is rather than how big it is. You can also take an elevator to the top. The statues lined up on the side are 33 knights, historians, missionaries, and more. In the back right corner is Francis Xavier, the missionary who spread Christianity to Japan. It’s moving to think that Europeans came all the way to Japan from here with guns and Christianity. Just standing in the place where the great man I learned about in my textbooks as a student stood makes my heart tremble. In the square in front of the monument, there was a world map. The year written on the map is the year Portugal discovered the country. For Japan, it was written 1541. In the Belem district, there is a World Heritage Site called the Jeronimos Monastery. It was a place I definitely wanted to go to, but due to schedule and time constraints, I only saw the exterior this time… There was a person playing the violin in the garden. It was built with the huge fortune that Portuguese explorers made when they reached India and brought back a large amount of spices. The Jeronimos Monastery, built over 300 years ago, has a gorgeous interior, So it’s completely different from the simple and austere monasteries you might imagine. If you’re interested, please search for it. As I was wandering around Lisbon, I took the train, bus, tram, and metro. What they all had in common was that they were all colorful! Red, blue, and yellow… I was surprised by the eye-stimulating color scheme. I was also surprised to see that the trains covered in graffiti (spray paint) were still operating normally. I was a little worried for a moment about whether the security was okay, but everyone was riding without worrying about anything, so I thought it was just a normal thing. When I see things like this, Japanese trains are pretty plain, aren’t they? I learned that national characteristics are reflected in trains and vehicles. (There was even spray-painted graffiti on the windows!) By the way, I made the mistake of getting on the wrong train a few times. There was also a time when the announcement said “The next train is going to XX station”, but it turned out that it was actually going to a completely different station, so all the passengers got off and had to change trains. Portugal is truly a Latin country… (?) There are other episodes where I experienced the Latin atmosphere. Wow, the elevators at every station were basically broken! Lol This time, I wanted to travel light, so I came with a carry-on size suitcase, but what would have happened if I had come with a large suitcase for a normal 3-week trip? There are many long stairs at each station, so I’m sure I would have had to lift it up… It’s scary to even think about it…! Everyone, when you go to Portugal, It’s important to travel light. This video was taken when I was riding a tram. The inside was made of wood, and it was strange that it moved like a tin toy. Some trams also have wooden seats, but they shook quite a bit, so my butt hurt. Lisbon is famous for being a city with many slopes, but the tram moves steadily up the slopes and stairs that are so daunting that you can’t even look up at them, so it’s reliable. For my travel clothes, I wore a thin checked coat, an orange cotton knit, white wide pants, and sneakers. The temperature felt around 10 degrees on many days, so I wore layers underneath. In the second half of the trip, there were days when the temperature was over 20 degrees, so this was quite good. This is the original egg tart shop, Pastéis de Belém. You can eat the original egg tart, “Nata”, a famous sweet that originated in the Jerónimos Monastery. This is a long-established restaurant founded in 1837, and it continues to preserve the secret recipe that was secretly made in the kitchen of the Jerónimos Monastery. I had forgotten about the World Heritage Site “Torre de Belém”. The Belém Tower was built in 1519 to monitor ships passing through the Tagus River and as a fortress. It is 35 meters tall and its castle-like ornate decoration is eye-catching. The Belém Tower has welcomed sailors as a symbol of Lisbon for over 500 years, but it actually has a scary side, such as a prison underground. Unfortunately, it was closed on this day due to bad weather. The sky was pitch black and it looked like a storm was about to come, but it wasn’t high tide so I was able to get close to the tower. At high tide, the water level seems to be right up to the bridge. The waves were rough and it looked dangerous to go any further. There were bubbles and hardened foam, but what was that? Japanese Novelist Ryotaro Shiba is said to have praised this tower as the “Lady of the Tagus River”. Indeed, it is a building with the elegance of a lady… I think that the “Manueline style,” which is considered to be unique to Portugal, is all delicate, beautiful, and romantic. The clouds were starting to look ominous, so we were about to retreat when the wind got stronger and it started to rain. The sand on the beach was blown by the wind and turned into yellow sand. It hurt when it got in our eyes or on our cheeks… I had heard that Portugal has many sunny days and rarely rains, so I laughed when it turned into such a big storm. It was a good memory. I must get revenge! On the way back from the Belem district , I was taking a little walk and came across a pink building. I really like this kind of thing, it makes me feel like I’m in a foreign country! When the liberal revolution occurred in Portugal in 1820, the Jeronimos Monastery was closed and many monks and nuns were expelled. When they started selling “Nata,” which they made in their kitchens to make a living, it became popular all over Portugal, and they opened this restaurant. During my trip to Portugal, the Nata was so delicious that I ate it all day. I wonder how many Nata I ate in total? There are Nata shops all over the city, so you can eat them while walking around. It was fun to see the different tastes and textures depending on the shop. The crispy tart crust and rich custard cream gently soothe the fatigue of all the walking around. This building is from when I went to a city called Sintra. Sintra, which is a 40-minute train ride from Lisbon, is a city that is registered as a World Heritage Site. It was a mysterious city with villas of the Portuguese royal families and some unusual buildings. I’ll talk about that next time👋 Continued in the 2nd part of my trip to Lisbon, Portugal…!
