The Basilica is breathtaking. I'm always amazed by and wonder how they were able to build such magnificent structures back then. Lisbon is a beautiful city. Thank you Miguel 🌟
Estrela é um bairro muito bonito gostei demais! Obrigada pelo passeio e por nos mostrar as belezas desse maravilhoso bairro! Parabéns pelo seu trabalhou!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Olá Miguel! Hoje fui ao baú das fotos antigas, para recordar. Nasci em Santos-o-Velho, frequentei um colégio na Rua Santana á Lapa, fui batizada e fiz a comunhão solene na Basilica da Estrela.Apesar de ter 70 anos ainda recordo as brincadeiras com minha irma no Jardim de Estrela. Obrigada pelo vídeo,como sempre muito bom.
Olá Alice, tudo bem? 😊 Nas próximas semanas irei publicar um vídeo que começa precisamente na Rua de Santana à Lapa! Recordar é viver, é sempre bom recordar a nossa infância. Abraços e até o próximo vídeo! 😊
Foi um grande oportunidade,de ver sobretudo os bairros lisboetas,mas o terreiro do Passo,símbolo de Lisboa,e suas avenidas,algumas conhecidas.Uma portuguesa convicta.Fico grata
Até que em fim, foi visitar o meu bairro! Que saudades ,do jardim, de me deitar na relva,com um bom livro,e lanchar no café que lá existia,e agora só comidas sem interesse. Emocionei me ao ver o altar onde me casei ,na basílica em agosto de 66,era a minha igreja e eu cantava no coro. Só tive pena de não ter pedido ,para ver o presépio.Uma grande obra de Machado de Castro,com 480 figuras e um dos mais detalhados que existe.Mas talvez para a próxima,nem toda a gente sabe,claro...Mas é o meu bairro,eu conheço bem.Desejo lhe saúde e boas pernas,para andar a fazer vídeos,por mim, já que eu não posso......Aninhos...Aninhos...eles não perdoam.
Olá Maria! 🤗 Eu estudei ali perto quando era adolescente, na Escola Machado de Castro (agora já nem é uma escola...), ia muitas vezes para o Jardim da Estrela quando tinha disponibilidade de horário. Na altura o jardim era muito calminho, agora tem sempre mais visitantes. 🙂 Cantava no coro, que interessante! Eu sabia da existência do presépio, o problema é que cheguei já muito em cima da hora de fecho e já não havia tempo para mais nada. Fica para a próxima oportunidade. Abraço e uma boa semana!
Ola Ola Miguel. I was really excited to watch this, and didn't leave it to the weekend like we usually do. In our 3 times in Lisbon, we somehow have never made to this area so keen to see what we were missing. I just love the Basilica and its beautiful interior and the muted colours. Very different from others where every surface seems to be covered in gold, which I find a little confronting. Estrela looks like a good place for a holiday base, and will consider this for next trip 🥝🤗
Olá olá Linda! 😃🥝 Most tourists never make it to this area, it's a bit of a hidden gem. If you don't like churches covered in gold, prepare yourself for a video that will be uploaded in the coming weeks. 😅 I visited the most bland-looking church ever, but its interior is something else... Have a great week! 🥝🤗
@@POVTours I know exactly which church you are speaking of and probably the one I had in mind when I made my comment. Looking forward to seeing it again and, no doubt, with some interesting facts and stories 🤗
Boa noite Miguel, como é bom relembrar locais por onde passamos, quando fui passear de bonde 28 fui até o ponto final creio que fica defronte ao cemitério dos prazeres do qual você fez um vídeo, e depois fiz o percurso a pé passando por esses locais a basílica, o parque, o palácio São Bento, entretanto não percorri o bairro, sabe como é a vida de turista, tudo correndo e por alto😂😂, mas foi bom para matar as saudades e saber que dá próxima vez, haverá muito mais a conhecer... abraços e tenha uma ótima semana 🤝👏
Boa noite Sergio! 😃 Sim, o 28 termina no cemitério dos Prazeres. Basicamente o seu percurso foi uma mistura do meu vídeo de Campo de Ourique e este da Estrela, e ainda o vídeo do bonde 28. 😁 Abraços, uma boa semana!
Realmente, Estrela é um lugar lindo! Aqui chamamos "jacarandá mimoso". Gosto demais! Árvores são as minhas preferidas no reino vegetal... Os Ipês, aqui, também são lindos, mas muito diferentes dos jacarandás! Mais um passeio agradabilíssimo! Abraços, Miguel, e ótima semana!
Olá Maria! 😃 Aqui os jaracandás já estão na sua época colorida, quando filmei este vídeo (início de Abril) ainda era um pouco cedo. Obrigado e até sábado! (sim, o próximo vídeo será no sábado, desde que não fique sem internet 😁)
Lisboa é uma cidade linda! Adorei conhecer, mas não fui nesse bairro. Mais um motivo pra voltar e conhecer melhor. A Basílica é maravilhosa, mas o meu medo de altura me dá calafrios só de ver o vídeo! Acho que não irei conhecer o terraço da cúpula. 😂 Gratidão Miguel por mais um excelente vídeo! Ansiosa pelo próximo! Sucesso ao canal!
Há sempre coisas novas para descobrir em Lisboa! 😃 Foi um pouco complicado nalgumas partes do terraço, mas respirando fundo tudo se consegue. 😅💪 Abraços!
I used to wonder how you used to skirt around but never entered a church until you showed us the magnificent, awe-inspiring basilica. On top of the world experience. Thank you for taking us up.
Hello, good morning! 😊 There are so many churches in Portugal, and Lisbon in particular, that I usually only enter the most important ones, otherwise the videos would be 90% about churches. 😃 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for my upcoming videos, because I recently filmed a video in another Lisbon neighborhood, which includes a visit to one of the most underrated yet stunning churches of the city.
Like 227 👍 Greetings from Naples, Florida. What a beautiful day for a walk. We enjoyed the sights, sounds and scenery. Love the architecture there. Thank you for sharing, have a great week. 💯
Olá, Miguel! … Nice video! 🙂 I found it very moving seeing the guards at attention outside the Sao Bento Palace. Our security in this country is not as formal or profound. And, your Basilica visit is amazing. We especially enjoyed your taking us up to the top of the dome. Thank you! 🙏🏻 … Yes, Lora is home again. No house purchase although she looked at two and we did make an offer on one, which we ended up not finalizing, for various reasons. She took care of NIF and a bank account so that part of the trip was a success. I asked her what she liked most about being in Portugal and she said it was how nice and genuinely friendly so many Portuguese people were to her … Enjoy your week and thank you again for doing POV ! 🥰 John
Hello hello John! 😃 This is one of the few places where the guards are very formal. One of the other ones being the official residence of the President of Portugal (not the prime-minister), in the Belém neighborhood. Now that you have NIF and a local bank account part of the time consuming bureaucracy is already taken care of. Well done Lora! 😊 That's what most people mention about Portugal, the friendliness of the people. Have a great week! 😊 There may be a new video uploaded mid-week, I'm not sure...
Olá Miguel, boa tarde. Que bairro maravilhoso, com prédios maravilhosos e bem conservados. Um bairro movimentado, mas não tumultuado. Linda Basílica. No Domus, quando filmou de cima, deu frio na barriga. Rsrsrs. Foi um lindo passeio. Obrigada. Um abraço.
Olá Miguel. Boa tarde. Tudo bem??? Estrela realmente é um sítio muito agradável de se passear. A Basílica é lindíssima. Foi um vídeo excelente. Parabéns!!!😘
Olá Miguel, parabéns por mais um vídio, espetacular, uma zona muito bonita de Lisboa, a basílica é lindíssima, como é bom saber que houve uma rainha que fez uma promessa e cumpriu.... É precisamente o mesmo que acontece nos dias de hoje.... 😀Uma excelente semana😉
Boa noite Maria! 😊 Haha sim, tal e qual como so políticos de hoje... 😁😁 A rainha D. Maria infelizmente acabou vítima de vários problemas mentais. Abraço e uma excelente semana!
Hi, dear friend 🙂 Tell me, please, what are the names of the most expensive and the poorest neighborhood in Lisbon? And what is the main criteria for their differentiation? You mentioned that expats usually choose this place to live, so they rent an apartment mostly or buy? And yes... basilica is charming 😊 like all churches in Portugal 😊
Hello Ulker! 😊 Expats do both, it usually depends if they expect to stay in Lisbon long term or not. Younger expats rent while older ones usually buy properties. The most expensive neighborhood, and also one of the most secretive and least known about, is Lapa, which is right next to Estrela. I was there last week, so expect a video in the coming weeks. 😉 I almost got arrested! 😁 That's where mansions can easily cost upwards of 10 million euros. Most embassies are located in Lapa. It also includes "normal" housing for average families, it's not only expensive mansions. A couple of years ago Madonna tried to buy a house there. The poorest one is more difficult, there are a handful of neighborhoods comprised exclusively of public housing for low income families. What in the UK is called "council housing", and in the US "housing projects". Some of them include Chelas, Quinta do Loreiro, Bairro das Moagens, etc... Rough places that you won't easily find, with high unemployment rate, drug trafficking, etc. Many of them are located in east Lisbon, which used to be the worst area of Lisbon, with a very high percentage of public housing.
Miguel, please, be careful!🙏 We don't want anything bad happen to you! Madonna already has a property in Sintra, if I am not mistaken. But seems she wanted to get the whole Lisbon too😃 Thank you for the detailed explanation 😃 I will wait for upcoming videos ☺️
@@ulkernuriyeva It was near one of the embassies... 😅 Don't worry, all good! Yeah, she has or had a property in Sintra too, she has good taste! Sintra and Lapa... not bad!
Ah, looks like they've built a new house next to Rua São Bento 204 since my last visit. There used to be a mural painting of a face with a nose ring on the gable end. Nice to peek inside the Basílica da Estrela. I've been outside a couple of times, and there was a mass in progress on both occasions. For all the spelendor of the church, Dona Maria is criticised in a book I read recently for the extravagant spending at a time when they didn't manage to balance the budgets. Apparently, following young José's death in 1788 it wasn't just the budgets that were unbalanced.
I remember that painting! That orange/yellow building at 28:37 is where it used to be. About 8-9 years I was very much into photography, one of my best photos ever was a juxtaposition of that face and one of the palace's guards. Queen Maria suffered from significant mental issues, which began even before her son died. By early 1792 she was deemed insane, but even in 1786 her mental deterioration was clearly noticeable. Two of her sisters had similar conditions, possibly caused by their incestuous ancestry... Up until the mid 1780s Maria is considered to have been a good ruler, but then things fell apart.
Thank you for another great video. 😊 I have two questions. When do those purple trees bloom? The second question I think I may know the answer but I'm going to ask anyway. 28.43 in the video...that wall at O Jardim... is there something interesting about that "wall"?
Hello Kelly, thank you! The Jacaranda trees usually bloom about now, May-June, some streets are already looking like a slightly psychedelic painting. 😁 I filmed this video on the 5th of April, so it was a bit early for the explosion of color. 😊 Regarding the wall, yes there is something importante there! It was an aqueduct, known as the São Bento Street aqueduct, part of the Lisbon Aqueduct. It included an arch that was moved to another area. If you do a google image search of "Arco de São Bento" you'll see it.
Yes, it's a huge tradition here! 😃 The use of tiles (known as "azulejos") in Portugal can be traced back to the time when the Moors ruled the Iberian Peninsula (711-1492). However, it was during the 15th century that the art of tile-making flourished in Portugal. Over time, the use of tiles expanded beyond palaces and noble residences to churches, monasteries, and ordinary homes. Tiles became a popular means of architectural decoration and a way to protect buildings from dampness. They are often used to tell stories, depict historical events, or showcase religious scenes. 😊

I love this neighborhood, it's not too touristy or noisy, it's a good option if you want to escape the crowds of downtown Lisbon. 😊
Boa tarde que linda cidade de Lisboa amei assistir estou amando conhecer Portugal parabéns pelos vídeos 👏👏👏
Olá Sonia, muito obrigado! 😊❤️
