20 Things to do in Lisbon, Portugal Travel Video Transcript:
We feel like we know this city well, so in this Lisbon travel guide we’re going to show you around what we think are some of the best attractions. We only had 3 days in the city this time around, so this Lisbon itinerary will be perfect for any of you visiting on a long weekend escape.
We kicked off our first morning with a ride on Lisbon’s most iconic tram line:#28 bound for panoramic vistas and a hilltop castle. After postcard perfect views looking down over Alfama we went towards the castle, with a little detour offering a bit of street art.
St George Castle is a Moorish castle that looks down over the historic centre and the Tagus River. It’s one of the main tourist landmarks in the city and you get great views of Lisbon.
We circled back to visit the Jeronimos Monastery. Construction of this monastery was ordered by King Manuel, who selected the religious order of Hieronymite monks to occupy the monastery.
Pastéis de nata were created by the monks at the Jerónimos Monastery, and seeing as we were right next door, this was a very logical stop. After browsing at the Sunday Market we walked over to the Santa Justa Elevator, which is the only street lift in Lisbon for public service.
We hope you enjoyed our Lisbon travel guide and found it useful for planning your own trip. If you have any other suggestions of things to do in Lisbon please share those in the comments below.

15 Things to do in Athens, Greece Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Αθηνα Ελλάδα):
In today’s video, we’re taking you to Athens!
Home to gods, goddesses and enough temples to house them all, the Greek capital is the place to get a glimpse of Ancient Greece.
This was our second time visiting the city, but with only 3 days, we decided to focus on the highlights. For us, that meant ancient ruins, lots of greek food, and a lookout point or two to catch the city looking her best right around sunset.
Let’s begin with the main attraction and a place that has dominated the city skyline for millennia: the Acropolis.
Contrary to popular belief, the Acropolis is not one single building, but rather, an ancient citadel which holds a few different structures.
The archaeological site is lined with ancient theatres, altars and temples, and once you reach the top, there are two places that will catch your eye.
The first is the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
The other, is the Erechtheum, another temple that was dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. It’s hard to miss its Porch of the Maidens, with its six draped female figures acting as support columns.
it was just a short walk over to the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
Construction of this temple began in the 6th century BC and it wouldn’t be completed until the reign of Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.
It took about 638 years to build this temple, but it would have been the largest temple in Greece and one of the most impressive constructions of the ancient world.
While in Athens, we also climbed Mount Lycabettus.
This is a rather steep hill that rises 300 meters above sea level, and it’s a nice place to catch sunset over Athens.
As a travel tip: there is a funicular to take you up and down the hill if you want to save your legs!
In this video, we’re going to share with you 15 things to do in Athens, Greece, so let’s get started!
That’s a wrap for our guide to Athens!
We hope this video gave you a few ideas of what you can cover on a short visit.
If you have any other suggestions of things to do in Athens that you’d like to share with travellers, feel free to leave your travel tips in the comments below.
We’ll see you in the next video as we continue our travels through Greece.

Verona - Chiesa di San Fermo Maggiore - Chiesa Superiore e Inferiore - videomix
La chiesa di San Fermo Maggiore è una delle costruzioni religiose più interessanti ed originali della città di Verona, composta da due chiese connesse e sovrapposte l'una all'altra. Un unicum in cui lo stile romanico tipico del X-XI secolo si fonde armoniosamente con il gotico del XIV secolo.
La chiesa inferiore fu eretta tra il 1065 e il 1143, sui resti di un'antica pieve del V secolo, già dedicata ai Santi Fermo e Rustico che in questo luogo erano stati martirizzati. La chiesa superiore fu eretta nei primi decenni del XIV secolo dai frati francescani, che lasciarono intatta la romanica chiesa inferiore e dettero alla superiore l'attuale stile gotico, arricchendola durante i secoli con l'originale soffitto a carena di nave, splendidi affreschi, cuspidi e numerose opere d'arte. UNA GRANDE BASILICA IN CUI LO STILE ROMANICO SI FONDE CON IL GOTICO, come si intuisce sin dalla facciata, divisa in due parti da una galleria d'archetti in parte cieca. La parte inferiore è in tufo e appartiene alla preesistente chiesa romanica; quella superiore è tipicamente gotica, con il suo rivestimento murario a fasce alternate di tufo e cotto, su cui si apre una grande finestra quadrifora, sormontata da una trifora incastonata tra due loculi. Completa la splendida visione d'insieme il magnifico portale tipicamente romanico con la sua profonda strombatura a cordoni multipli e la porta bronzea, recentemente realizzata dal maestro Luciano Minguzzi, in cui sono visibili ventiquattro formelle che raccontano la storia dei santi Fermo e Rustico. Da notare anche la statua di San Francesco, incastonata nella lunetta sopra il portale, e la pregevole arca sepolcrale in cui riposano le spoglie mortali di Aventino Fracastoro, posta sulla sinistra della scalinata che porta all'ingresso. L'interno dell'ampia chiesa superiore, a croce latina, è a navata unica con cinque absidi e vari altari laterali.
Entrando lo sguardo rimane subito affascinato dal TRECENTESCO SOFFITTO LIGNEO A CARENA DI NAVE, pregevolmente ornato da una doppia galleria di archetti su cui sono dipinti vari busti di santi. Entro queste millenarie mura sono conservati dipinti e sculture che vanno dal XIII al XVII secolo, tra cui un brano d'affresco con angeli musicanti di Stefano da Verona, vari dipinti di Domenico Brusasorci, l'affresco della Crocifissione del Turone, oltre ad opere di Francesco Torbido, Battista del Moro, Liberale da Verona, Alessandro Turchi (detto l'Orbetto). Da segnalare inoltre alcune sculture giovanili di Michele Sanmicheli e il mausoleo di Nicolò Brenzoni, autentico capolavoro dell'arte tardogotica ornato con le sculture del fiorentino Nanni di Bartolo (Resurrezione di Cristo) ED ANCHE ALCUNI NOTEVOLI AFFRESCHI DEL PISANELLO (l'Annunciazione, San Raffaele e San Michele). Per una porta nel transetto destro si scende nel chiostro romanico, dove una scala conduce alla Chiesa Inferiore. Anche in questo edificio la pianta è a croce latina, ma spartita su tre navate da numerose colonne e poderosi pilastri in pietra con capitelli medievali. Particolare attenzione va riservata agli interessanti affreschi dell'XI e XIII secolo che qui sono conservati, tra cui un Battesimo di Cristo (presente sul terzo pilastro della navata di sinistra) ed una Madonna che allatta. Nel presbiterio si trova un pregevole crocifisso ligneo risalente al XIV secolo, mentre nel transetto di destra è situata la pietra dove, secondo la tradizione, furono decapitati i santi Fermo e Rustico.
