Vista aérea de Lisboa

Provavelmente se você está pensando em visitar Portugal, Lisboa deve ser sua primeira paragem. Além de ser a maior cidade do país, Lisboa, a capital, é uma cidade que se estende por sete colinas à beira do Rio Tejo. A cidade não só possui mais de mil anos de história, mas também cultura e belezas arquitetônicas do período romano. Então borá saber o motivo dessa cidade atrair tantos turistas todos os anos e dar dicas do que fazer em suas férias

História e Cultura de Lisboa

Castelo de São Jorge

Lisboa é uma cidade enraizada na história. Passeie pelas ruas estreitas do bairro de Alfama, um dos bairros mais antigos da cidade, e você sentirá a atmosfera medieval. O Castelo de São Jorge, situado no topo de uma colina, oferece vistas panorâmicas da cidade e é um testemunho da herança histórica da cidade.

A cultura de Lisboa é marcada pelo fado, um gênero de música melancólica que é uma parte intrínseca da identidade portuguesa. Você pode assistir a uma apresentação ao vivo de fado em muitos dos restaurantes e bares da cidade.

Certamente você vai se deparar por diversos guias falando sobre a cidade e te oferecendo passeios de Tuk-Tuk, não recomendo, muito caro.

Arquitetura

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos

A arquitetura de Lisboa é uma combinação de estilos, desde edifícios históricos ornamentados até estruturas modernas. O Mosteiro dos Jerónimos e a Torre de Belém são dois exemplos notáveis do estilo manuelino, enquanto a Fundação Champalimaud é um ícone da arquitetura contemporânea. Você também vai ouvir pessoas falando do terremoto, tsunami e incêndio que destruiu a cidade em 1755.

Torre de Belém

Gastronomia

Pastel de Nata

A culinária lisboeta é uma experiência para os sentidos. Não deixe de provar o famoso pastel de nata. Os restaurantes locais servem pratos tradicionais, como o bacalhau à brás, e os frutos-do-mar frescos são abundantes. Aos alérgicos a ovos e frutos-do-mar, de antemão peço que fiquem atentos a composição dos pratos, pergunte sempre. Lembrando que, aqui, o menu se chama ementa. E não se espante se os atendente mandarem você ir embora por não fazer reservas de mesa. Em Portugal é comum reservar mesmo em restaurantes simples.

Atividades

Lisboa oferece uma variedade de atividades. Passeie pelas ruas de paralelepípedos do Bairro Alto, conhecido por sua vida noturna, ou pegue um bonde histórico para um passeio pitoresco pelas colinas. Se você é amante de museus, o Museu Nacional do Azulejo e o Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga são imperdíveis. Dese modo, para não perderem viagem. Indico que façam uma pesquisada antes na internet para saber horário de funcionamento e se precisa fazer reservas e comprar tickets antecipados.

Dicas para Viagem

Bonde histórico
  • Melhor época para visitar: A primavera e o outono oferecem clima agradável e menos turistas. (Além das passagens, serem mais baratas)
  • Transporte: Use os tradicionais bondes e teleféricos para explorar as colinas de Lisboa. (Se puder andar, aproveite)
  • Leve dinheiro: existem diversos lugares que não aceitam cartão de crédito, principalmente cartões internacionais.

Em suma, espero que tenham gostado desse resumo sobre a cidade mais famosa de Portugal. Além disso, sugiro que pesquisem bem antes de virem visitar quais serão as atividades, alojamentos, transportes e afins que desejam. Uma viagem bem planejada é uma viagem tranquila.

Hi guys!

If yoIf you entered this post at random, I’m doing a series on Zagreb. At the post Next stop, Zagreb I was talking about why a choose to came to this city and some good stuffs to make you go there too. But on this posts I gonna talk about a good question Where to stay in Zagreb?

When you go to another city or country you need to stay in a good, safe and nice place, in preference paying low prices, and my suggestion is – stay in an Airbnb.

Airbnb

Probability you know what is Airbnb, but if you don’t I tell you. Is a website where you can book rooms, apartments, houses, hotel room or a hostel space. Yeah, there are several options for you to choose where you want to stay. Open https://www.airbnb.com.br/ create an account and start your search to you best place to stay.

Airbnb homepage

In Airbnb you can search a place using filters to select the best option for you, for exemplo, you can only see place with air-conditional, or laundry machine, or places for long trips, in downtown, outskirts or wherever you want.

Mansion Hallenbach

When I decided to go to Zagreb I did everything I mentioned above, and the universe send me to an amazing place, The Mansion Hallenbach. If you try to search using this name you not gonna find anything because I created this name from the last name of my hostler Alex Hallenbach.

Door of the room

The house in a big one if tow floors, downstairs lived Alex and his lovely girlfriend Petra and I was upstairs. In the house you have space to cook, rest, wash you clothes, feel the fresh air at the balcony or just stay at the big room.

Room

Mansion Hallenbach is next to the most famous park at Zagreb, The Park Maksimir, close to downtown, supermarket, coffee shops and in a good localization to get train or bus to go to the museums, churches or shopping mall.

Alex Hallenbach is one of the most polite and receptive person I’ve ever met. Always available to help, teach or just spend a nice time. He helps me with the trains to go downtown, where I could bought cheep food and a lot of stuffs I asked him.

The place smells of history, some objects that make up the bedroom furniture are heirlooms from the Hallenbach family.The bed, the mirror and the chest are pieces from the last century and make the room very special. On the balcony you have an incredible view with trees and can enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Considerations

me, my mother, Petra and Alex

If you want to go to Zagreb, you should research to a good place, with good people to help you, see what do you need to a better trip and how to make it easy to spend this days of out you home. Airbnb is too safe for rent a place, I suggest you to talk with you hostler and discovered the place before arrive to make you days more easy. I love my days at the Mansion Hallenbach, Alex and Petra are incredible humans and found new friends there for my hole life. You should go to Zagreb.

And you, have already use Airbnb? What was your experience? Tell me and if you want to see more photos open my instagram profile @rodrigirao15.

Hi guys.

Everybody knows that I love to travel and discovered new places and If you follow me on instagram you have already saw some stories I had made in Zagreb, Croatia. I spent some days in the capital of Croatia to relax and discover this amazing city. Let’s start, next stop, Zagreb!

Croatian Society of Fine Artists

Why Zagreb?

All of my friends asked me, why Zagreb? In the middle of coronavirus pandemic most of the countries are closed with you are flying from Brazil. I had been working in Home Office since 2019 and it had been a long time since I went on vacation to take a long trip and be able to really rest and recharge my energy. I made a research and saw the it was possible to travel to Croatia, was open for turism. In the middle of my researches I saw a lots of stuffs about the country on Google and see how beautiful is Zagreb. That’s when I decided, next stop, Zagreb!

Zagreb

What to do before flight?

Make a internacional trip it’s not easy, in pandemic times, very difficult but I needed that trip.

The first step was check all the rules and papers I needed to travel and than decided when I will be flight, so let’s make the check list. When you choose to travel to Europe you will need I passport, round-trip tickets, health insurance, PCR-Test and money. The passport must be valid for more than 6 months after the return date, so check the dates of you passport.

At the airport, on the Emigration they will ask you the day you will arrive back to Brazil, so buy both tickets and think about how many days you want o stay because of the follow itens.

The number of days you want to stay abroad will determine how many days you have to buy for the heath insurance and how much money will you have to take. The heath insurance need to start at the day you departure and finish when you arrive at Brazil, so think about this for not have problems and you need to check about money too.

Each country determines a minimum amount of money for each day you will stay in the country. So it’s important to get some money with you to show in the Emigration in case of they ask you to see the real money.

About Zagreb

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia with 806,341 of population. Although it is a big city, Zagreb is not like São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, in this case, we have a calm, peaceful and clean city. And when I say clean I mean not finding garbage on the streets.

The water is drinkable and fresh from several sources around the city. People living in Croatia are proud of their water and offering tourists to fill their water bottles.

Park Zrinjevac

When you are at the town you have some squares in downtown with green areas and others with water sources creating scene to take a lot of pictures. There ares beautiful churches, the most famous St. Mark’s Church where there is a colorful mosaic on the ceiling.

St. Mark’s Church

If you are looking for a place to travel in a different way of the normal routes, Zagreb should be your place. I really like the city, the people and the weather. I felt very safe and welcomed by the local people, they are very welcoming and try to help you. I visited some beautiful areas and saw greatest squares and parks and churches, everything was perfect. I want to go back there someday.

Para os corajosos exitem altos escorregados com curvas radicais, para os mais cautelosos q nem eu, tem os tobogãs mais tranquilos e com alturas menores.

Tem pequenos lagos termais e piscinas infantis para q a criançada possa se divertir e os pais ficares tranquilos.

O park eh num todo um ambiente muito familiar e aconchegante, com mesas, cadeiras, e diversos espaços para descansar e relaxar o corpo e a mente.

E se além de dar akele mergulho vc quiser curtir um ambiente mais campestre, tem zoo e animais da fazenda, passeio de charrete, búfala e lagoa para pescaria.

Apesar de eu ser todo medroso eu fui em quase todos os escorregadores q meu coraçãozinho aguentou e mergulhei fundo na piscina de ondas. Para dar akela relaxada eu fiz momento relex em um dos ofurôs onde a água eh quentinha em relaxa muito o corpo.

Como a gente não eh de ferro, a pausa pro lanche foi um delicioso pastel pq neh, saco vazio não para em pé. Mas quem não quiser pastel existem muitas outras opções de lanches e petiscos.

E já no fim da tarde antes de dizer tchau e fui provar um churros de brigadeiro pq eu sou chocólatra ÇYM.

Essa aki eh o Rio da Mina, uma piscina q percorre uma grande área do park simulando um rio mesmo com diversas árvores e coqueiros as margens.

E teve até momento de blogueiro para fazer akela foto na ponte pra postar no Instagram.

Espero q tenham gostado do texto, me indiquem lugares pra eu ir conhecer. E se vcs conhecem o park digam como foi o dia de vcs.
