Your channel is probably the most informative one from all the "expats living in Portugal" - type of channels. Thank you the effort you put into these videos.
It will be! Enjoy it :-) Depending on where you are staying it might be "in the middle of no where", so you can ease your life by making sure you got Uber or Bolt ready on your phone :-)
Thank you for the tips. Does the aquarium still have the giant pacific octopus? Awe'll be in Lisbon in July and my 6 yo is obsessed with octopi, it would make his trip to see one.
Hey guys, great videos!! Thank you for all the information. One question - you made reference to virtual assists but I couldn't find any resource / recommendations to one. Do you have one in mind that you can recommend? Basically I'm coming from London (am an EU citizen) with my British wife (we're married) and would like to purchase a car from Germany and import it. But it's quite complex to import the car so I'd like some guidance on confirming how much it'll cost tax wise. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that or if you're planning to make a video on it? It'll probably take a couple of hours though haha. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks again!
Hi Weppe, Glad you like the video. It's super hard to recommend virtual assistants as you find one and then they might get another job opportunity. But often you can find one on UpWork, through different cowork spaces etc that has this offer. On the car issue, then we are most likely not going to make a video on it, as we haven't tried it. There is a few things to remember; 1) You must have owned the car 6 months before coming to Portugal. So if you live in UK, that would be hard to find a car with the steering in the correct side :) 2) There is different requirements if the car is imported from outside of EU. 3) You need to find a company that specialises in this to help you with the paperwork. Many has described it as a headache, but I've seen many foreign cars on Portuguese plates. 4) Consider what car you are importing... If you import it from a colder country, they might not be used to look out for rust issues etc (depend on age). Also, if you were to import cars there isn't many of here, servicing them can be hard. I've heard some people struggling with both Jaguars and Subaru's as they are not the Portuguese every day drive. I know this isn't a complete answer, but I hope it help you part of the way :)

Wow! What a compliment! Thank you! Really glad you enjoy it :-)
For younger kids, the smaller Aquarium, Vasco da Gama, is worth visiting. Also, the Money Museum (Museu do Dinheiro).
Amazing Luis! Thank you for sharing, we will add it on our todo list ;-)
Brilliant! Thanks
My family will have a long layover - sounds like the Oceanaruim will be an excellent and amazing distraction for my kids.
It will be! Enjoy it :-)

Great video!! Do you have recommendations for things to do with young children in late summer/early fall?
