EXPLORE BEIRAS WITH MY BOOKPACK
My Bookpack focuses on putting Portugal on the travel map and challenges people to take a detour from the most explored routes and wander off the beaten path. We are releasing a series of episodes broadcasting the different regions of Portugal in which you’ll get to see what each one of them has to offer. All shots are done by us when we are on the road exploring routes and meeting new places.
Thanks to our local partners for participating and showcasing the richness and beauty of our country.
Beiras, a region in the centre of Portugal, is almost a country within another country. The diversity is impressive and from the countryside to the seaside there are big contrasts. The local traditions are not the same, the typical dishes are different, the sights and landscapes are distinct...but the region is the same. Maybe that is part of the reason this Portuguese area is so unique.

20 things to do in Lisbon, Portugal | Top Attractions Travel Guide:
Our first stop of the day was Sao Jorge Castle, which is an old Moorish fortification that sits on a hill overlooking Lisbon and the Tagus River. You can get some nice panoramic views of the city from here, and they also have peacocks roaming the grounds.
Miradouro das Portas do Sol is one of the many look out points in Lisbon that offers postcard-perfect views of the city. This particular terrace overlooks the Alfama district and it is always popular with tourists.
Carmo is a mediaeval convent that was ruined during the 1755 earthquake, and today it is used as an archaeological museum. It's a strange feeling walking down the ruined nave of the church and seeing blue skies above your head, but that's exactly what makes it worth a visit.
Another place to visit is Belem Tower. The tower was built on the banks of the Tagus River, and it was meant to act as both a defense system and a ceremonial gateway into Lisbon.
The Jeronimos Monastery is one of the most visited sights in Lisbon. It's one of the best examples of Late Gothic Manueline architecture, so have a close look at the intricate detailing when you visit.
A fun way to get around Lisbon's hilly streets is by riding the trams. There are different lines across the city, but #28 is the most popular one with visitors.
The Santa Justa lift is an elevator that connects the lower streets of Baixa with Carmo Square, and it is the only remaining vertical elevator in Lisbon. Though it is meant to serve a functional role, it is also quite popular with visitors who find the elevator a novel idea.
And that's a wrap for our week in the Portuguese capital! We hope you enjoyed this video and that it gave you some ideas of things to do in Lisbon. As always, if you have any other suggestion for travellers of places to visit and things to do around town, feel free to share them in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!
This is part of our Travel in Portugal series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Portuguese culture, Portuguese arts, Portuguese foods, Portuguese religion, Portuguese cuisine and Portuguese people.

The first you notice about Serra da Estrela is the unexploited and raw nature of its territory. A landscape that hasn't changed in the last 10 thousand years, sculpted only by the elements into a smooth arrangement of high altitude plateaus. In the midst of its protruding round granite formations called Fragas, a hand full of tiny heritage villages are scattered among high altitude forests, waterfalls, natural lakes and glacier valleys.
Inhabited by very few people, these communities still embody the shepherd heritage of the Serra da Estrela. More so, it provides you a glimpse into an almost uninfluenced Portugal. You see it's not only its territory but also its people who are raw too.
This story is narrated by a young boy, who only is at the top of his class in school, he loves being a weekend Sheppard. Probably the youngest herder in Portugal, he refuses to be sucked into the screen of his mobile phone and gracefully accepts his family's open-air Serra da Estrela heritage.

Visitar Leiria | Portugal
Um video sobre Leiria, um percurso pelo centro histórico de Leiria, a partir do seu Castelo. Leiria mantém ainda a sua traça medieval, e a sua Misericórdia e Casa dos Pintores são pontos importantes para conhecer o passado da sua comunidade Judaica. A Casa dos Pintores, um exemplar da arquitectura medieval, tem exposto o famoso Almanach Perpetuum, uma tabela da declinação solar, para os mareantes determinarem a sua latitude, criado pelo matemático Abraão Zacuto. O Convento de Sto. Agostinho, actual Museu de Leiria, onde existe importante informação sobre o passado de Leiria, acontecimentos e mitos. Recomendo vivamente a visita ao Moinho de Papel, conhecer a forma como antigamente se produzia o papel, num edificio industrial do séc. XV recuperado segundo o projecto de Siza Vieira.
