Hi guys. Are you looking for the best sunset cruises in Lisbon? Then this video is for you. Hi, I'm Maria from travelguidelisbon.com, and in this video I'm going to talk about the best shared and private sunset cruises in Lisbon. In the first 1/2 of the video I'm going to describe our best four options of shared sunset cruises, and in the second 1/2 of this video I'm going to talk about our top three picks of private evening tours in Lisbon. Now, I have created this video because there are literally hundreds of options of boat trips in Lisbon, and the task to choose the best one for you seems near to impossible. So, I have done the research, and narrowed it down for a small number of options for you, hopefully making your life and choice easier this way.
01:09-03:33
- So, the best four options for shared sunset cruises in Lisbon. Now, all the four options I have chosen for you are very similar in terms of duration. They all last for two hours. They all have a live guide on board also available in English. You will always have a welcome drink on board, and almost all the cruises depart from Belem. Now, the tour that the boat takes is also very similar. You will always have a look at the Belem district including the Belem Tower, the Monuments to Discoveries, the Cristo Rei statue, you will always pass under the 25th of April Bridge, and have a beautiful view on the hillsides of the historical Lisbon. Now, our first pick is a two-hour sunset cruise operated by a company called Pypas Cruises. They are known for their quality, and engaging guide on board. (...) On the second place there is a two-hour sunset cruise operated by the company called Lisbon Sail. (...) The third option is a two-hour sunset cruise operated by Palmayachts,(...). On the fourth place is the sunset cruise by Terra Incognita.(...). So these are the four best options picked by us for shared sunset cruises in Lisbon.
03:38-05:38
- And now about the best private sunset cruises in Lisbon. I have picked three top options for you. All the three options are very similar in terms of duration. They all last for two hours. They all have live guide on board. And they all depart in Belem. The route the boats take is also very similar to the previously described shared sunset cruises. So you will check out the Belem area. Pass under the 25 de Abril Bridge, and have a beautiful view on the historical hillside of Lisbon. Now if you're traveling with a small group of people, the best option for you would be the private yacht evening, operated by a company called Lisbon by Boat. (...). Now if you're looking for a romantic evening sunset cruise for just for the two of you, there are two best options for you. One of them costs 230 euros for the two of you, operated by Lisbon Sail. And you will be sitting on a sailing boat. With this company, you also have the option to book an extra dinner on board after the cruise. But you have to call them in advance to arrange that. Another option for just for the two of you is slightly more expensive operated by Pypas Cruises. (...).
05:39-06:06
Now, this was for today. I hope you enjoy the video, and I hope that I made your life a little bit easier when choosing the best sunset cruise for you. Because it's really not easy. And to check these trips in more details, and book them online, and check more useful tips and information on Lisbon, by visiting Lisbon, Please visit our website travelguidelisbon.com.

Portugal: Inside the Aggregation of Water Supply and Sanitation Utilities with the World Bank

In the Ribatejo region of Portugal, municipalities began discussing a possible aggregation within the framework of a Public Policy approved in 1993. However, in 2005, the political majority changed within one of the municipalities. Opposed to making investments in neighboring rural areas, leaders in a wealthy city withdrew from the aggregation process. However, with the goal of achieving better quality services and greater environmental sustainability, Águas do Ribatejo in Portugal moved forward with aggregation. Watch doubts and tensions overcome after two municipalities withdrew permanent political support after implementation of WSS utilities aggregation in Portugal.

We’re in Portugal and here’s our top 5 things to do in the Algarve.

Hike the jaw droppingly beautiful coastline. I can recommend a route that start at Lagos and end ups at the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse, which is just a few kilometers south of the town. You’ll witness golden rock formations, turquoise waters and dramatic landscapes that will leave you wanting to walk for days on end. Admittedly, the lighthouse itself is a little underwhelming, but don’t let it put you off, the views of the horizon make up for it in bucketloads.

The Algarve is big and beautiful, and takes nearly 2 hours to drive from one end to the other, and there’s a lot to see, so if you want to outside your hotel and do it in your own time, then hiring a car can be the best way to do this. The minimum age to hire a car in Portugal is 18 years old, and you must have held your driving license for at least a year. If you’re British then just remember to drive on the righthand side, and a little rhyme that I like to use is right is right! We hired a car through Holiday Extras and you can do this by clicking on the link below.

If you’re holidaying in the Algarve then you’re never far away from the beach, and let’s face it, it’s a must. There are some great options to choose from, so here’s our top 3: Praia Da Gale is a huge beach with a sandy stretch that goes on for miles. It’s simple and has a rustic feel to it, which in my opinion makes it great, as it’s a the perfect contrast to the busy hotel resort area just up the road in Albufeira.

Praia de Sao Rafael is a gorgeous beach that will not disappoint. It’s a 15 minute drive from Albufeira but worth a day trip to sunbathing on the golden sands, rounded by stunning cliff drops and also take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean. The famous rock formations and the water also make it quite the beauty spot, due to the years of erosion that have given the rocks their unusual shape and colour.

Praia de Benagil is a smaller beach located in the fishing village of Benagil, and just around the corner from those famous caves. The limestones cliffs that surround the beach offer shelter from the wind, but the only downside is there isn’t any official parking here, so be prepared to have to park your car a little way away and walk there.

Fancy a spot of golf? The Algarve is famous for its golf courses and is one of Europe’s leading golf holiday destinations. There’s around 35 golf clubs in the Algarve zone, so you can be sure to find a golf club that caters to your level. And thankfully for me, we’ve found where beginners were welcome!

And finally, explore Albufeira old town. If you’re driving there, I recommend parking your car at the top of the hill and then walk down the winding streets, finding local shops selling Portuguese gifts. The streets open up to a square that is surrounded by restaurants and hosts live music, people dancing and enjoying the sunshine. It’s a great place to have lunch and simply soak in everything that’s going on. Just be openminded to the fact that this town now majorly caters for tourists of all nationalities, so menus aren’t very traditional in this area.

As you can see, we loved exploring this beautiful coastline and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos on Portugal and other destinations around the world.

View of Lisbon suburb of Belem from ship in Tejo (Tegus) River

Lovely Lisbon, Portugal's capital and largest city with a metropolitan population of 1.25 million, is built on hills above the banks of the Tejo River. Called Lisboa by its residents, this name was apparently derived from the Phoenician term Allis Ubbo, or calm port. Today the city is still an important European port, with one of the world's largest natural harbors.

Lisbon was inhabited by the Romans, and the Moors ruled between the eighth and twelfth centuries. In the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the so-called Age of Discovery, Portuguese mariners opened up India, Indonesia, China, Japan and Brazil to trade; and Portugal became the richest country in Europe. However, Lisbon's Great Earthquake and accompanying tsunami of 1755 caused massive damage to the city, and by 1560 Portugal's power had finally reached its zenith.

King Dom Manuel I, who ruled from 1495 to 1521, lent his name to a new late-Gothic style of architecture. The two best surviving examples of Manueline architecture are the Torre de Belem and the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos. Both of these monuments are in the must-see waterfront suburb of Belem some 6 km (3.5 miles) west of the city center. It was from Belem that Vasco da Gama sailed to India. Today the tomb of the great seafarer lies within the monastery. Originally built in the middle of the Tejo between 1515 and 1520, the Torre de Belem fortress became joined to the river's right bank after the Tejo changed course following the Great Earthquake. Belem's 52-meter-high (170-foot-high) riverside Monument to the Discoveries was built in 1960 to celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) who organized and financed the first of Portugal's great sea explorations.

The 25th of April Bridge, 2.4 km (1.5 miles) long and with one kilometer (3,280 feet) between its towers, is one of the world's longest suspension bridges. It was constructed in 1966 by the firm which built San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The 16-km-long (10-mile-long) Vasco da Gama Bridge, Europe's second longest, also spans the Tejo at Lisbon. In 1959 the gigantic 100-meter-high (330-foot-high) Cristo Rei statue was buillt across the river overlooking Lisbon, imitating the Rio de Janeiro original.

Lisbon's oldest quarter, the Alfama, dates from the eleventh century when the Moors ruled and is capped by the Castelo de Sao Jorge, the former royal residence. Other districts of interest to tourists are the Baixa, Chiado and Bairro Alto. Once the heart of medieval Lisbon, the Baixa is now a busy commercial center. At one time the center of Lisbon's intellectual life, a 1988 fire destroyed the core of the Chiado. The Bairro Alto sprang to life when King Dom Manuel I shifted his residence from the Castelo to the waterfront early in the sixteenth century. Today it is a district of antiquarian bookstores by day and of a large number of fado houses, bars and clubs by night.

A trip to Lisbon would not be complete without a visit to the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, one of the world's great institutions, which exhibits works of art from 2,500 B. C. to the early twentieth century. Gulbenkian, a multi-millionaire, resided in Lisbon from 1942 until his death in 1955. Housed in a wonderful modern building, this museum is best reached by taxi.

Hilly Sintra, 24 km (15 miles) northwest of Lisbon, makes for a fascinating day trip. A summer resort for Portuguese royalty, Sintra boasts the Palacio Nacional where royals dwelled for 500 years until 1910. Although this is Portugal's oldest surviving royal palace, dating back to Moorish times, much of what can be seen and toured today is from the fifteenth century. On the other hand, Sintra's Palacio de Pena has been called a wedding cake of a palace. Built in the 1840s, this hilltop fantasy is a bizarre riot of domes and towers that survives as a museum portrayed in the very condition in which it was left when the royal family fled the country in 1910.

Another excellent day trip is to the nearby medieval walled town of Obidos, founded in 308 B. C. During a four-hour coach tour from downtown Lisbon, tourists can visit the seventeenth-century parish church and enjoy a stroll while window shopping along Obidos' extremely picturesque and nearly-carless main street. The castle above the town has been converted into a hotel.

Few cities are as eccentric and as alluring as lovely Lisbon, which is best visited during its warm and dry summer season from May to September.

Note: Visible in this video clip of the Lisbon suburb of Belem taken 22 May 2008 are the Torre de Belem (Belem Tower), the Monument to the Discoveries, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos (Jeronimos Monastery), and a small portion of the 25th of April Bridge.

Episode 3 - Portugal - The Bearded Scotsman Yachtsman

The day after arriving in Viana do Castelo we set sail again to Lisbon and The Algarve. After a night in Lisbon we push on to the South again, leaving the Atlantic swell behind us at Cape St. Vincent then turning East along the Southern coast of Portugal. After a little over two weeks sailing together in the Atlantic, Piotr leaves Finchpalm in Lagos and I sail on singlehanded. I spend a month in The Algarve, exploring the river estuaries, towns and cities whilst making repairs to Finchpalm in preparation for the Mediterranean.

DUBLIN - Ireland Travel Guide | Around The World

Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath, Town of the Hurdled Ford) is the capital city of Ireland. Its vibrancy, nightlife and tourist attractions are renowned and it is the most popular entry point for international visitors to Ireland. It's disproportionately large for the size of Ireland with nearly two million in the Greater Dublin Region - well over a third of the Republic's population! The centre is, however, relatively small and can be navigated by foot, with most of the population living in suburbs.

Founded in 841, Dublin was originally settled by Vikings amongst a population of Celtic tribes. In the 9th century the Danes captured Dublin and had control until 1171 when they were expelled by King Henry II of England. By the 14th century the king of England controlled Dublin and the nearby area referred to as “the Pale”.

When the English Civil Wars ended in 1649, Oliver Cromwell took over. Dublin experienced huge growth and development in the 17th century because many Protestant refugees from Europe came to Dublin. By the 17th century Dublin was the second greatest city, only behind London, and a period when great Georgian style buildings were constructed that still stand today. Georgian style architecture was popular from 1720 to 1840 during the times when George I, George II, George III, and George IV of England were ruling.

Public transportation has improved massively over the last few years, but it is still worse than in other European cities. This is more of a problem for the commuter than the visitor to Dublin, however, as the city centre is easy to get around on foot. In the summer peak season, Dublin's top attractions can get packed. Show up early to beat the crowds.

Dublin has many fine suburbs. Some are easily navigated by foot from the city's centre and are dotted with many upmarket delicatessens and boutiques. Examples include Donnybrook and Ballsbridge - the 46a bus goes through Donnybrook and the 4/7 buses through Ballsbridge, with several stops in the north and south city centre. Ballsbridge is Dublin's embassy district and is home to some of Ireland's most expensive roads including 'Shrewsbury Road', which is famous for being the sixth most expensive residential thoroughfare in the world and 'Ailesbury Road' which is equally as salubrious and home to the bulk of the capital's embassies including Spain and Poland.

Dublin's most famous shopping street is the pedestrianised Grafton Street, which runs between St. Stephen's Green and Trinity College. It has recently, along with its surroundings, been classified as an 'Architectural Conservation Zone'. This will involve a re-establishment of the area's rich historic charm and urban character. The best concentration of shoe shops is found on Grafton Street and the adjoining Wicklow Street.

Dublin has a wide range of good quality restaurants. Many are overpriced by European standards, however, tougher economic times have given rise to a new wave of stylish but casual, low priced eateries with great food. Main course prices range from €8 at the lower end up to around €40 at the higher end. Wine in restaurants is generally marked up from its already expensive retail price by a factor of at least two and three times retail price would not be uncommon. Look out for Bring Your Own Bottle options.

No visit to Dublin would be complete without a visit to one (or ten) of its many pubs (last count says there are over 600 pubs). Drink is moderately priced by comparison with some European capitals: a pint of stout costs from €4.00 and up, while lager costs around €4.50 and up. Since the government gave a tax break to micro-brewed beer , this had a slight effect on prices in brew pubs. Pubs serve drinks until 24.00 with some drinking-up time allowed. Many bars have late licenses allowing them to serve up to 03:30, although this usually means a cover charge or price increases after 24.00.

If you go there for a weekend trip, please note that hotels in Dublin book fast for the weekend, especially during Spring; booking 2-3 months in advance is highly recommended.

Dom Jose Hotel Algarve

The hotel, located directly in the middle of the tourist centre is just a short walk from the nearby fine sandy beach. The centre of town along with numerous shopping opportunities, restaurants, bars and nightclubs are all just a short walk away. Access to public transport is also located in the immediate vicinity. The Vilamoura Marina harbour is about 3 km away, the waterpark about 4 km, the marine zoo about 25 km and the historic Silves Castle is about 40 km.The hotel was built in 1965 and renovated in 2003. It contains 154 rooms on 7 floors, of which 21 are suites.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Portugal (Portuguese: [puɾtuˈɣal]), officially the Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: República Portuguesa [ʁɛˈpuβlikɐ puɾtuˈɣezɐ]), is a country located mostly on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It is the westernmost sovereign state of mainland Europe. It is bordered to the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north and east by Spain. Its territory also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, both autonomous regions with their own regional governments.
Portugal is the oldest state on the Iberian Peninsula and one of the oldest in Europe, its territory having been continuously settled, invaded and fought over since prehistoric times. The Pre-Celts, Celts, Carthaginians and Romans were followed by the invasions of the Visigoths and Suebi Germanic peoples.
Portugal as a country was established during the Christian Reconquista against the Moors who had invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 AD. Despite attempts at independence since its foundation as a county in 868, only after the Battle of São Mamede in 1128, where Portuguese forces led by Afonso Henriques defeated forces led by his mother, Teresa, the County of Portugal affirmed its sovereignty and Afonso styled himself Prince of Portugal. He would later be proclaimed King of Portugal at the Battle of Ourique in 1139 and was recognised as such, by neighbouring kingdoms, on the Treaty of Zamora, in 1143.In the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal established the first global empire, becoming one of the world's major economic, political and military powers. During this period, today referred to as the Age of Discovery, Portuguese explorers pioneered maritime exploration, notably under royal patronage of Prince Henry the Navigator and King John II, with such notable voyages as Bartolomeu Dias' sailing beyond the Cape of Good Hope (Cabo da Boa Esperança) (1488), Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route to India (1497–98) and the European discovery of Brazil (1500).
During this time Portugal monopolized the spice trade, and the empire expanded with military campaigns in Asia. However, events such as the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, the Industrial Revolution, the Seven Years' War, the country's occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of Bra ...
