Hi! Thank you so much for watching! Sintra was such a fun stop on our way up the coast of Portugal. The boys loved the caves and castles and we couldn't get enough of the Petiscos. It was so fun creating this series, stay tuned for next week in Peniche!
Never skip the gardens in Pena Palace. It feels like a fairy tale inside with tiny castles for the ducks in the pond, horse farm, greenhouses, hidden fountains and native plants to the mountains. Another palace to see is Monseratte and it’s gorgeous with its Moorish and Islamic inspired decorations. If you didn’t have time to go to Cabo da Roca. My family and I just drove back to Cascais near Lisbon that’s known for its laid back beach town feel. Great job in this series!!
This is quickly becoming the only guide to Portugal you'll ever need! Love how you authentic your meals/trips are with the kids, really inspiring. "Far from being a reason not to, children are perhaps the best reason of all to travel."
I am so happy to see a young family enjoying trips. Because some people that I know delay their plans to travel because they have small kids. Your family is an inspiration!
My friends and I just got back from Lisbon. We went to Tascantiga and Manteigaria both based on the recommendations of this series and thank goodness we did! Great recommendations. And the castles are even more beautiful up close. Absolutely worth braving the crowds and mountainous terrain, as long as you get there early and either hike or use public transit. Thanks so much for this series!
I'm so happy to see someone enjoying a country/city as one should, with proper research on where and when to go, what to see and what to eat. I can honestly say, as a father of two just like you, your day trip was just like a perfect summer sunday I have with my family in Lisbon. The informality, the meal mix, breakfast at manteigaria...only missing a dive in the ocean or a wave ride . Other than that, 7 minutes of a busy sunday video like a local! Very true vídeo I can relate to.(On the other hand, I like tourists eating paellas and burgers in tourist spots near I am at... makes life easier :) )
wow! thank you SO much. That means a lot, I loved Portugal, it was so family friendly and we couldn't stop eating. Your country is a gem, and we felt so lucky to explore it.
I enjoy watching this. This is the goal. To travel with kids, especially internationally. Mama you are a star. I have three, 10 and 7 always fighting and newborn has his own demands. I am proud of you. You are my friend in my mind. Lol
Iz, seen all your work on youtube channel and can safely say this series hits new heights, very informative, snappy and concise. your boys are soo cute and amazing, now too watch episode 3.
This series is amazingggg, I went to Portugal about a year ago and wish I had these videos to guide me a bit better through the cities. Keep up the great work Iz!
iz! your filmmaking gets more refined and stirring every time you create something new. i’m excited to see the rest of the series. eater is lucky to have you.
Hi there. I really like this series. After watching this and Lisbon episodes I thought I’d say this: Whenever you don’t know how to pronounce a word in a foreign language just go to google translate or any other internet dictionary and look for the sound/audio of the word/phrase. It’s super easy and quick but it makes you seem like you try to say something the right way. I’m an immigrant myself, my first language is Polish and I speak English fluently but I still sometimes just check the pronunciation of some words - just to show I care. Anyway, great series and have a lovely day.
Portugal has beautiful architecture from the Islamic Period. Our tour guide took us to Mértola, and Porto to see the moorish architecture and it is for sure breathtaking.
there's no morish architecture in Mértola. Nothing, nichts, nada. The Church that is reivindicated as a mosche is in fact a church with gothic architecture of the 15th century. Previously there was a mosche built in the 12th century - but this mosche resulted from the occupation of a previous church, so, draw your conclusions .... We are the victims of a very strange propaganda, exalting those who invade the christian lands by the sole reason they were non-Christians. Funny, isn't it?
@@Kanal7Indonesia The Portuguese were never Islamists. The Kingdom of Portugal was formed in the twelfth century -- our first king, Dom Afonso Henriques, was crowned in 1128 -- as an attempt to attain independence from the Kingdom of Castile-Leon, and to expel the Moorish usurpers from a land which had been Christian since the first centuries CE. Most of present-day Portugal was freed from the Moors by the end of the XII century, that is, approximately 50 years after the liberation of Lisbon, in 1147. As it has been said before, there seems to be a very strange, perhaps even deliberate misinterpretation of our History, which wishes to undermine our culture and traditions!
@@miguelcoelho3877 wow that's even more impressive, because i always thought the iberian peninsula culture and architecture is influenced by muslim moors.
I believe Portugal may be one of the best places to eat in the world and for an exceptional value. We have all kinds of food and i hope u had a lof of fun visiting our country.
Love the hosts. They are not scared to say that they are not a fan of this and that. I mean they give real reviews. Tired of others who only says ohh this is the best all theee timmmeeee
HI Iz. Wanted to thank you for your videos, they really helped us planning our trip to Portugal. We didn't have Cabo da Roca on our itinerary but after watching this video we knew we had to go there. We loved it! It was the highlight of the trip for me. I also wanted to thank you for recommending Tascantiga, the best meal we had in Portugal. Hope you to continue to produce amazing videos. Thanks!.
I’m super glad that you have come visit Sintra!! And yep is always super crowded if you ever come to Sintra again you have to visit Monserrat’s Palace, the garden there is really beautiful! And thanks for your interest and kind words! ❤️
If you don't have a vehicle, the train from Lisbon to Sintra is super simple and cheap. Departs from Rossio station many times daily and takes 30-40 minutes. Definitely a must when you're visiting Lisbon. Excellent video. Love this family.
I went a few years a go to Portugal. all the way from the top to Lisbon. We stayed in Sintra instead of Lisbon. That way we didn't find many people, but it gets crazy during the day. Too many people, in my opinion. Being from Spain, it's funny that until then I didn't though about going to Portugal. Such great country. You should have gone to O porto too.
You guys are such a JOY to watch. :) You are very talented hosts and let me say you have such a beautiful family. Glad to have you showcasing my country which I love. ENJOY your trip and always BEM-VINDOS to return back/home :)
So much POWER TO YOU for doing it so well with the small kids! LOVE your videos! Keep up the good work and thank you, I really enjoy watching your videos.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I'm Portuguese! Check Serra da Arrábida or Portinho da Arrábida and eat some "peixe assado" (grilled fish) with great wines in Setúbal or Azeitão. Have fun! You still have lot of food to try :)
Iz, be sure and come back for a visit soon. Sesimbra and surrounds with Cabo Espichel, the city castle and the Azoia sheep's cheese plus all the fresh fish would make a great stop.
Can't believe you missed Piriquita. That is like THE place in Sintra to have some regional pastries (my all time favourite portuguese travesseiro) Your videos are amazing, but that was such a big miss :)
Just got back from Portugal, Sintra is beautiful we went in the middle of winter so no lines we just walked straight in. The weather was still lovely though, ~15c everyday with sunshine. I wouldn't recommend eating in Sintra however, its very expensive and touristy since its so small. I would just wait until you get back to Lisbon (Sintra is on the Lisbon metro line only about hour away by train).
What we call petiscos, the spanish call tapas 😉 its not a dish done small. A petisco is a category of food in itself. Usually we eat it in the afternoon, we eat many petiscos and usually skip dinner. We called it a lanche ajantarado
How was it driving in Portugal ? I’m thinking of visiting in October, should I rent a car or go public transportation? We are thinking of flying to Barcelona afterwards, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! No kids all adults, I loved how kids seem so comfortable with the tour, food etc. Reminds me when I visited Spain with my little girl 2 yrs old( almost 23 now)
Hi , my wife and I will drive from Lisbon to Lagos , we know Sinatra is out of the way. I think now I will go there to see it. what time did you get there? was parking easy early? We thinking just visiting outside castle and in that cave place!! then drive to Lagos (taking the toll road to get there for check in around 4pm). Thanks
Your video was a great introduction to Portugal. You have a great eye for aesthetics as well. I enjoy watching your travel videos they are so uplifting and inspiring. Since i work constantly it makes me appreciate your vlogs very much! The food looks great! 💜💜💜
I remember going to Sintra with my parents some years ago and we were the only ones visiting XD There were no tourists at all. It has changed for sure!!
Amazing video, and congratulations for having such a nice family. As a Portuguese, I really loved the 2 videos you made so far. I hope you can visit my region of Minho in Northern Portugal.
Oh my lord! How did you go to Sintra and didn't eat "Travesseiros" from Casa do Preto, they are one of the best pastries in Portugal, please, if you do come back you must try it!
Good video. We are planning a day trip to Sintra from Lisbon. Plan on doing Pena Palace, Castle etc.. How far from Pena Palace was restaurant? The food looked amazing , how were prices?
Another movie made by you. Fantastic. With two children. I canoot understand how yoy made to travel with 2 childrens and manage to make amazing videos. Congratulations.

Iz Harris literally watching this because you are in it iz 😀
I'm SO excited for the next episode!!! 🙌🏼
Love all you do! We are heading to Portugal......your shoes you had on, where did you get them?

Great job in this series!!
Shame u missed Piriquita bakery because they a very traditional sweet in there with over 160 years 😊
Hey Iz, I'm portuguese and your videos are quite something! You really show our country as it should! Thank you and feel always welcome in Portugal!
thank you so much! I loved visiting your country, it was such a stunning place with such kind people.
@@IzHarris Be sure and come back. I know you hit the high spots but there is so much more here!
THIS SERIES, but in every city.
YAS, thank you!
This is quickly becoming the only guide to Portugal you'll ever need! Love how you authentic your meals/trips are with the kids, really inspiring. "Far from being a reason not to, children are perhaps the best reason of all to travel."

I'm glad you liked Sintra.
P. S. - Sintra has only one Castle, the Moorish Castle. All others are Palaces.
ahhh you are so right, thank you!
Eater did a great job hiring Iz. Her content is always informative, experiential, and delightful. Season 2 and onward, please?

Thank God the portuguese are christian again.
The Parish Church in Mertola was once a mosque built by the Moore’s Ibn AlQasi.

Yes please 😍🤩 and seriously, #relationshipgoals traveling with a small child.
aw thank you! Portugal was so family friendly so it was the perfect spot!
What amazing HD Drone footage you guy's took. I lived in SINTRA until 1973. And never seen this type of production value. Love the Aerial photography.
I’m super glad that you have come visit Sintra!! And yep is always super crowded if you ever come to Sintra again you have to visit Monserrat’s Palace, the garden there is really beautiful! And thanks for your interest and kind words! ❤️
Great family, lucky kids...all enjoying the best in Portugal...
If you don't have a vehicle, the train from Lisbon to Sintra is super simple and cheap. Departs from Rossio station many times daily and takes 30-40 minutes. Definitely a must when you're visiting Lisbon. Excellent video. Love this family.
yes! thanks for noting that, and then you don't have to worry about parking at all! thanks for watching :)
Sintra is from another world!
I went a few years a go to Portugal. all the way from the top to Lisbon. We stayed in Sintra instead of Lisbon. That way we didn't find many people, but it gets crazy during the day.

You gotta' visit The Azores next, if you plan on visiting somewhere else in Portugal! I'd love giving you a tour of S.Miguel island! Haha!
They need to see Pico Island as well the vineyards and the views from the top of the mountain are fantastic!
Sintra has some of the best pastries on the planet. Can’t wait to go back!
I'm reliving so many wonderful memories through this series. Thank you so much for the beautiful visuals!
So much POWER TO YOU for doing it so well with the small kids! LOVE your videos! Keep up the good work and thank you, I really enjoy watching your videos.
I'm a fan...I could see when the coffee kicked in it was charming and great parenting ...
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Iz, congrats to this mind blowing series! You and Johnny are a video-content-power-couple!
thank you!! we really appreciate it :)
Love seeing others so intrigued and fascinated by Portuguese culture and heritage ❤️🇵🇹
I'm Portuguese! Check Serra da Arrábida or Portinho da Arrábida and eat some "peixe assado" (grilled fish) with great wines in Setúbal or Azeitão. Have fun! You still have lot of food to try :)
Boy are those not the luckiest kids!? Some great pieces, Iz. Well done and keep traveling and telling us all about it!
I love sintra I went this summer but if you want to visit the castles book online it’s much much easier and you don’t have to wait at all
that is such a good tip!
"and I can't even wait to see what Portugal has in store" I can't either and I live there. Love your videos Iz
what! this made me so happy! thank you!
all the sea fog above those gorgeous castles, looks magical !
I've been to Sao Miguel in the Azores 9 times and I'm desperate to go back. However, your videos are making me want to hit up mainland Portugal next!
You too deserves an award..filming and moving with two toddlers is not an easy feat..and still edit...🙌
lol, it was a wild ride, but the kids were total troopers!
Omg we are going to Portugal in July!! Definitely using some your tips!.
This series is turning out to be so good!
thank you!! really appreciate it!
MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASEEE! love it!
Great to include Sintra, so beautiful village.
Sorry you didn't see Monserrate Palace in Sintra. It's amazing...😊😊
Loved this. Keep them coming. Very well presented.
Iz, be sure and come back for a visit soon. Sesimbra and surrounds with Cabo Espichel, the city castle and the Azoia sheep's cheese plus all the fresh fish would make a great stop.
This family is what I dream of every night. Hope this series has many many more episodes to come
Can't believe you missed Piriquita. That is like THE place in Sintra to have some regional pastries (my all time favourite portuguese travesseiro)

What a travelogue guys! Good stuff. Great shots. Love the production. Keep it comin'!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video, POrtuguese tourism board should pay for this excellent promotion of the country....
You shouldn't have skipped the Maurish castle, it is fantastic! But since you have strollers I get it. LOTS of stairs...
What we call petiscos, the spanish call tapas 😉 its not a dish done small. A petisco is a category of food in itself. Usually we eat it in the afternoon, we eat many petiscos and usually skip dinner. We called it a lanche ajantarado
Now I want to go to Portugal. Great movie. 🎥
thank you! and do! it is so freaking stunning.
As a sintrense, I'm feeling so proud of my town
Another amazing video, Iz!!!!!!
Thank you! so glad you liked it!
