No problem, glad you enjoyed it.

I don't know when you are going, but we have a whole stack of Lisbon videos this month. The guide to the Belem area of the city is already up and there will be one specifically dedicated to visiting the Cristo Rei this Saturday.

My mate paid someone to take him out into the middle of nowhere and fire off a bazooka and an A.K 47.
I don't see the point personally but.....

Did that in vegas. Well, they didn’t trust me with a bazooka but the AK47 was fun. :-)

Is the Torre Vedras battlefields included?
I would suggest very strongly for anyone visiting Lisbon to take a day there

Going for 5 nights from the 24th. Just watched the Belem guide which was great especially the transport info.
We'll look out for the Cristo Rei video this weekend. Thanks again.

Not heard of that. I’m assuming it’s a bit out of the centre?

No worries.

One piece of advice I would give is make sure you check where everything is. More than any other city, Lisbon is spread out with some of the major sites miles apart.

We found the trams a bit iffy and just bloody slow. Some of the buses were useful and the metro was great for getting up to the Expo 98/Oceanarium zone but it doesn’t cover the Belem area.

Uber is your friend - really cheap and very quick. As you’ll see on the Cristo Rei video, 12 euros from the city centre to the Cristo Rei with the fantastic bonus of going over the magnificent suspension bridge.

Anyway, hope you have a great time.

Lines of Torres Vedras - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

Probably about 40 miles outside the city so not easily accessible by public transport, but a magnificent piece of military engineering, and key to the defeat of Napoleon in the Peninsula Campaign.
The landing beach has a few of tiled mosaic pictures that are a feature of Lisbon and the surrounding area depicting the stores of rations and ammunition being brought ashore.
We had went to the military museum the day before and the size of the uniforms and kit, it would have been hard enough to climb the hills in the heat without having to fight your way up

Just done the same mate been out with the dogs freezing my town halls off , looking at the trees etc no sign of spring , we’ve got Greece booked in august but think I’ll need a cheep few days away hopefully in about six weeks.
I’ve booked mrs snake and eldest daughter to go to Paris in July, might do a cheap Ryan air job somewhere hopefully.
 
Since the pandemic, EasyJet have been eye-wateringly expensive.

Also, the number of routes and frequency on those routes has been cut. E.g. you used to be able to fly Liverpool to Barcelona every day through the winter, but these days you are lucky if it’s more than one a week.

I’m in the EasyJet flight club, but we still end up booking RyanAir more because the prices are much better and the route selection is fantastic.
 
Seems there are no cheap deals anywhere I want I go to Benidorm in September for 3 nights used to get for £350 now £550!
 
Lake District booked for May and looking at Boston for July with maybe Nice in September
