  • I shouldn't be revealing this secret, but if you're planning on getting a metro ticket at the airport and the line is really long, just walk past the machines and take your first right. There is another ticket machine, which will be against the wall on your right. It's the secret machine and almost never has a queue.

    The tip on skipping the Santa’s justa lift is fantastic. It really helps you shave an hour of waiting. Very cool. To be honest the best views of the city are not from this platform anyway. You can easily skip this and go to the Arch at the square and go up and the views are magnificent and there is no queue here. Santa justa is just a tourist trap. the name of the arch is Arco da Rua Augusta

    At the Pastéis de Belém shop you eat Pastéis de Belém, not Patéis de Nata. The ones that you find everywhere else in the country are Pastéis de Nata, which have kind of an "open source" recipe, whilst the Pastéis de Belém are trademarked, exclusive and have a secret recipe.

    I went to Sintra back in Nov 2019. It was a weekday and I got there right at opening. Bit of a line but not too many people ahead of me. Managed to get to one of the upper spots to snag several shots of the palace without any people in it. Good video! Hopefully I can return in the future and visit some of the restaurants you mentioned in your vlog.
