Portugal Travel Diary | 4 day Lisbon girls trip

07/11/2019 | Reageer

At the end of October I had been to Lisbon with a friend from my former study International Business (IBS). We were planning to visit a friend of ours who is studying there for a few months. Yanneke and I flew (standby) to Lisbon. This 4 day trip is for me number 4 of 2019 and my 3rd time in Lisbon. As I have said in many posts, Lisbon is my favorite city trip destination in Europe so far. The many colorful streets with sweet little restaurants keep surprising me. The follow up cities are Valencia and Porto for me. In 2015 I went there as a study trip (and during that time, my “cabin crew dreams” started). In 2017 I went there solo.
Eind Oktober was ik naar Lissabon geweest samen met een vriendin van mijn afgeronde studie International Business. We waren van plan om een vriendin van ons op te zoeken die daar een paar maanden studeert. Yanneke en ik vlogen (IPB) naar Lissabon. Deze 4 daagse reis is voor mij reis nummer 4 van 2019 en mijn 3e keer in Lissabon. Zoals ik in veel posts had verteld, is Lissabon tot zo ver mijn favoriete city trip bestemming in Europa. De vele kleurrijke straatjes met lieve kleine restaurantjes blijven me telkens verrassen. Opvolgend zijn voor mij Valencia en Porto. In 2015 ging ik er heen met mijn studie (en vanaf dat moment begonnen mijn ‘stewardessenkriebels’) en in 2017 ging ik in mijn eentje.
Early in the morning we flew from Eindhoven to Lisbon. From the airport we left by metro to Rossio, to go to our Airbnb in Alfama from there. We changed quickly and left our suitcases somewhere because we could not check in yet. We went to a place in Rossio for lunch. Despite the nice vibe and promising menu, we found the portions very small and not as great as we expected. My pink latte was really delicious though! Later on we had coffee at Paul near Praca do Comercio. Our mini Airbnb apartment was really cute and beautiful, but unfortunately I didn’t get it nicely in the photo. In the evening the three of us went to eat at a very nice place to eat in Alfama (I don’t remember my name) when Nicole finished school. I had steak and sangria as usual.

Day 2/4 was the nicest day of the entire trip. It all started in the morning with brunch at Augusto Lisboa, a cool place I had seen on Instagram. The food was really delicious and for a whole breakfast set we paid p.p not even much. Nice staff too! Then Yanneke and I went to Nicole’s apartment – who literally lives near the famous Pink Street in the Cais do Sodré neighborhood. After many outfit photos in that street, we went on to Nicole.

Vroeg in de ochtend zijn we vanaf Eindhoven naar Lissabon gevlogen. Vanaf de luchthaven waren we per metro vertrokken naar Rossio, om vanaf daar naar onze Airbnb in Alfama te gaan. We waren snel gaan omkleden en hebben onze koffers ergens achter gelaten omdat we nog niet in konden checken. We waren ook in Rossio gaan lunchen. Ondanks de leuke vibe en veelbelovende menukaart, vonden we de porties erg klein en niet zo geweldig als we hadden verwacht. Mijn roze latte was wel echt heerlijk! Later waren we nog bij Paul vlak bij Praca do Comercio een koffietje gaan drinken. Ons mini Airbnb appartement was echt ontzettend schattig en mooi, maar ik kreeg het niet mooi op de foto helaas. s’Avonds waren we met zijn 3en bij een heel leuk eetplekje in Alfama gaan eten (naam weet ik niet meer) toen Nicole klaar was met school. Ik nam steak en sangria as usual.

Dag 2/4 vond ik van de hele trip eigenlijk wel de leukste dag. Het begon in de ochtend met brunch bij Augusto Lisboa, een gave plek die ik eerder op Instagram was tegen gekomen. Het eten was echt heerlijk en voor een hele ontbijtset betaalde we p.p niet eens gek veel. Aardig personeel ook trouwens! Daarna waren Yanneke naar Nicole’s apartement gegaan – die letterlijk bij de bekende Pink Street woont in de buurt Cais do Sodré. Na tig outfit foto’s in die straat, gingen we door naar Nicole.

We went to LX factory with her and enjoyed a drink with a view of the famous Ponte 25 de Abril bridge. From there we had walked to Belém (!). From Belém I received a lot of flashbacks from my too nice study trip in 2015. We had some tasty Risotto for lunch.

In that same area, we had been to the famous Santa Maria monastry and then to Torre de Belém – to pick up an American friend of Nicole. The four of us went by Uber (or Bolt I believe) to the Chiado area. In the evening we had dinner at a place that Joel and Nicole knew, called Santa Bica. I highly recommend that place! – Incredibly friendly staff, cozy decor, delicious food, delicious Vino Verdé (Green wine) and also nice prices for food and wine (although I have to say that the prices at most prices are not bizarre anyway think high). I had another steak, this time a Coffee Steak – steak with a cream sauce in which coffee is used. The dinner was great! What a wonderful day this was! To end the day we went to a rooftop bar called Park Bar. The funny thing about this hidden rooftop bar full of fun music is that it is literally above a parking garage (& then you suddenly understand the name).

We waren vervolgens met haar naar LX factory geweest en hadden daar genoten van een drankje met uitzicht op de bekende Ponte 25 de Abril brug. Vanaf daar waren we naar Belém gelopen (!). Ik kreeg weer een hoop flashbacks van mijn té leuke studiereis in 2015 toen we naar die plek gingen. Na onze lange wandeling, waren we lekkere Risotto gaan eten voor lunch.

Verder hadden we de bekende Santa Maria monastry bezocht en vervolgens Torre de Belém – om daar een Amerikaanse vriend van Nicole op te pikken. We waren met zijn 4en met een Uber (of Bolt geloof ik) naar de Chiado omgeving terug gegaan. s’Avonds waren we uit eten gegaan bij een plek die Joel en Nicole kende, genaamd Santa Bica. Santa Bica is echt een aanrader – Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel, gezellige inrichting, heerlijk eten, heerlijke Vino Verdé (Groene wijn) en bovendien mooie prijsjes voor het eten en de wijn (al moet ik zeggen dat ik de prijzen op de meeste prijzen sowieso niet bizar hoog vind). Ik had opnieuw een steak, dit keer een Coffee Steak – steak met een roomsausje waar koffie in is verwerkt. Het etentje was ontzettend gezellig! Wat een heerlijke dag was dit! Om de dag af te sluiten waren we naar een rooftop bar gegaan genaamd Park Bar. Het grappige aan deze verborgen rooftop bar vol met leuke muziek, is dat het letterlijk boven een parkeergarage is (& dan snap je de naam ook ineens).

Day 3 we were planning to go to Sintra with the 2 of us by train from Rossio – where we had both never been (by the way, it was Yanneke’s first time in Lisbon). Sintra has many sights, too much to do in a day, so we decided to go to Pena Palace alone. The area is very fairy-tale and has many old castles and cute houses. By the way, it was really cold and windy up there, so I would take your clothing choice into account if you wanted to visit it (I learned the hard way there) – my 2nd tip for Lisbon itself is not to wear heels because of it the many height differences, stairs and stones. We only bought the Gardens Ticket – with that you can actually see a lot of the castle. After lunch in Sintra center we left by train to Lisbon.

After we put on a party outfit at our airbnb, we went out to have dinner. The restaurant was a cute little and local place called Casa Mia. For less than 13 euros p.p we had eaten good quality fish with a big glass of Sangria and a shared cheesecake dessert. Later that evening we went to Irish Pub o’Gilins at Pink Street where we enjoyed wine and nachos together with Nicole and Joel. Later in the evening we went with four of us to a cool club by the sea, called Urban Beach. Your entrance ticket includes drinks.

Dag 3 waren we van plan om met zijn 2en naar Sintra te gaan met de trein vanaf Rossio – waar we beide nog nooit waren geweest (Het was trouwens Yanneke haar eerste keer in Lissabon). Sintra kent vele bezienswaardigheden, té veel om te doen in een dag, dus besloten we om enkel naar Pena Palace te gaan. Het gebied is erg sprookjes achtig en kent vele oude kastelen en schattige huisjes. Het was trouwens echt heel koud en winderig daar boven, dus zou ik wel rekening houden met je kleding keuze mocht je het willen bezoeken (leerde ik daar op de harde manier) – mijn 2e tip voor Lissabon zelf is trouwens om geen hakken te dragen ivm de vele hoogteverschillen, trappen en stenen. We hebben enkel de Gardens Ticket gekocht – daarmee kun je trouwens echt al veel van het kasteel zien. Ná de lunch in Sintra centrum vertrokken we terug met de trein naar Lissabon.

Na dat we een party outfit hadden aangetrokken in onze airbnb zijn we uit eten gegaan. Het restaurant was een schattig klein en local plekje genaamd Casa Mia. We hadden voor nog geen 13 euro p.p goede kwaliteit vis gegeten met een mega glas Sangria en een gedeeld cheesecake toetje. Later in de avond waren we naar Irish Pub o’Gilins geweest bij Pink Street waar we genoten van wijn en nacho’s samen met Nicole en Joel. We zijn later in de avond met zijn 4en naar een gave club geweest aan de zee, genaamd Urban Beach. Bij je entree ticket zitten drankjes inbegrepen.

We only shopped the last day because we didn’t really have any plans anymore. Afterwards we had a drink near the Tejo river with Nicole and left with an Uber to the airport, to fly from there to Rotterdam The Hague airport. Lisbon was beautiful from above. I stayed the night at Yanneke’s in Utrecht before returning to Den Bosch the next day.

This trip was really nice and fun! This time I have printed tips and sights. Thank you for reading my travel diary!

De laatste dag hebben we enkel gewinkeld omdat we niet echt meer plannen hadden. Daarna waren we een drankje wezen drinken aan rivier de Taag met Nicole en met een Uber naar de luchthaven vertrokken. Vanaf de luchthaven zijn we naar Rotterdam The Hague airport gevlogen. Lissabon was prachtig vanaf boven. Ik was bij Yanneke blijven slapen in Utrecht voor ik de dag erna weer naar Den Bosch terug ging.

Deze reis was echt super leuk en gezellig! Dit keer heb ik tips en bezienswaardigheden dik gedrukt. Bedankt voor het lezen van mijn reis dagboek!

Special story 🌷🇳🇱 My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) 🕊️

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city — he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember — and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.

Tulum family 🤍🌴 It was incredible to be back for the second time in one (!) month at my favorite place in the world. Incredibly blessed to have so many beautiful opportunities, abundance, friendships and new people in my life. The place where I feel most at home. 🧿🇲🇽 #tulum

My first vlog 🤍 24 hours in Tulum in just 90 seconds 🌴
This was my favorite day during last weeks trip. Tulum is my favorite place in the world and it was time for me to create a vlog about it instead of just stories. Let me know in the comments if you would like it to see more like this!

Tulum – a travel dream for many. I spent five wonderful nights here at @babel.tulum, waking up relaxed every morning in my own beautiful apartment. This stunning hotel is the perfect place to unwind, featuring a luxurious hot tub and steam room. Without a doubt, it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. The aesthetics are absolutely amazing. Apart of that - I really loved the amazing people working there 🤍

Highly recommend this place for your next getaway!

(Swipe) 🍃 My hair was a paid actor 🍃 - Cenotes, one of the Mexican wonders in Yucatan. Visiting Cenote Atik for the second time. This Cenote is a beautiful one to visit. Which I highly recommend to you for your Tulum list. The pictures you can take here are gorgeous and you can even access the museum if you want. Keep in mind that the price has almost doubled (!) over the past two years and the cenote is partially man made. Apart of that - it definitely is worth a visit, especially if it’s your first visit to Tulum. Next to Cenote Atik, there are thousands of them to choose from, which is a must do for your Mexico travel itinerary 🇲🇽
