00:00I'm Lily Daus, and this is Grand Voyager.
00:04From my base in Qatar, I travel the world to discover incredible places filled with culture, luxury and adventure.
00:13Along the way, I meet the people, taste the flavors and experience the moments that make each destination unforgettable.
00:21Today, I'm traveling from Qatar to a coastal city in the Iberian Peninsula.
00:32I'm here in Lisbon, a city known for its iconic trams, custard tarts and historic districts.
00:40It's a place of refined culture, colorful walkways and classic monuments.
00:45Hola, and welcome to Lisbon. In this episode, I'll explore this city's rich culture, food, history and grand architecture.
00:54It's such a beautiful city, and I'm so excited to get to explore more.
01:00I'm starting my journey in the center of Lisbon.
01:03I've arranged to meet Anna Paula, a local tour guide.
01:07Lisbon is very, very old. We are next to our oldest cathedral, Ser de Lisboa, the Bishop House.
01:15And it's the oldest church in Lisbon.
01:18So it suffered several earthquakes, the biggest one of 1755, and destroyed the bell tower.
01:25This cathedral and other parts of the city have been rebuilt many times, but its core still shows its ancient origins.
01:34Tradition plays a big part in daily life here, and Anna brings me to one of the places that means the most to her, a religious statue.
01:42So St. Anthony, can you see him in the statue and in the picture?
01:46He's born here in Lisbon. We pray to him to get us a husband or a wife.
01:51One of the most famous customs here is to throw a coin at the monument.
01:56It's said to bring good luck in love.
01:58With love in the air, Anna and I set off to higher grounds to get a better view of the city.
02:04This is a famous viewpoint popular with locals and visitors.
02:08So, here we have lots of monuments. Let me point at some of them.
02:12That big church over there is the place where St. Anthony became priest.
02:18We can also see more churches. The big dump over there is the Panthenian.
02:24Lisbon is full of churches and spires, but it has an Islamic history too.
02:30Next, we head towards the city's Alfama district, where traces of that past can still be seen.
02:36Its narrow lanes, stairways and courtyards date back to the years just after the Moorish period came to an end.
02:43We are in the centre of Alfama. Alfama is a neighbourhood outside of the walls of the city
02:49where the Moorish people stay after the king conquered the city
02:52and it came from the word Al-Arama, the place with good waters.
02:57Today, the area is filled with cafes, viewpoints and homes that have been here for generations.
03:04As Anna and I wander through Alfama, you really feel how much history is held within these narrow streets.
03:11Our tour comes to an end, but there's still so much more to discover.
03:17Lisbon is a city where history and flavour go hand in hand,
03:21and every district has something unique to offer.
03:26This is Pastéis de Belém, one of the most famous pastry shops in Lisbon.
03:32Ricardo, the supervisor, is giving me a behind-the-scenes look at this historic spot.
03:37This bakery is known as the birthplace of Portugal's original custard tarts.
03:42It began making the classic tarts in 1837 using an ancient recipe.
03:48That formula remains a closely guarded secret.
03:51Only a handful of master bakers know the whole process, and it's all handled behind a locked door.
03:56So this is the door with all the secrets behind.
04:00Yeah, this is the only door that is closed even for me in this enterprise.
04:04Only three persons know the receipt and know how to do it,
04:07and they are the only ones available to come inside.
04:10These are the original Portuguese custard tarts.
04:13You'll find versions all over the world,
04:15but the true Pastéis de Belém are made only here in this bakery.
04:20The pastry chefs here are experts in every step of the process.
04:26I'm getting the chance to try a little pastry making myself,
04:30with the help of the bakery's experienced staff.
04:33I'm up this way around, this way around.
04:36Sempre sim.
04:37Always that way.
04:38Once they're shaped, they are then filled using a machine.
04:42The tarts then go straight into the ovens,
04:44where they bake at a high heat to get that perfect flaky crust and caramelized top.
04:51So, really, this line is what you have made more before.
04:54And they are beautiful. You did it so well.
04:57They look beautiful.
04:58It's the layers I love.
05:00They are perfect.
05:01You cannot see the difference between yours and the other ones.
05:03They are just perfect.
05:05After seeing how everything comes together,
05:07it's finally time to taste these famous pastries.
05:10And they are truly delicious, crispy on the outside,
05:15and soft and creamy in the middle.
05:17A great way to round off this sweet adventure.
05:22Lisbon is a city full of atmosphere, elegance, and creativity.
05:27Many of its walls are covered with artwork and painted tiles.
05:31I'm heading to a place dedicated to this unique craft.
05:35I'm here at the National Tile Museum to learn more about this iconic art form
05:40and discover how it's still inspiring artists today.
05:45To explore this artwork in more depth,
05:48museum coordinator Dora Fernandez is showing me around.
05:52This museum showcases a collection of Portuguese tiles dating back to the 15th century.
05:58It tells the story of how this art form has evolved over time.
06:03Many of these tiles show scenes from historical events or religious stories.
06:10Here we have one of the most iconic panels of the museum
06:14because it was one of the first productions of tiles.
06:18This big panel done and produced in Lisbon.
06:22The museum is housed in the former convent of Madre de Deus,
06:26a 16th century building that adds its own history to the collection.
06:30Alongside Christian artwork, you'll also find tiles with geometric patterns
06:37influenced by the city's Islamic past.
06:40The museum showcases tiles of every type, from simple designs to grand panels.
06:47Together, they show the richness of Portugal's tile tradition.
06:50So this is the big panorama of Lisbon.
06:55So you can see 14 kilometers of the coast of Lisbon, just before the earthquake.
07:02The museum's pieces show how Lisbon's history, culture and art have changed through the centuries.
07:08Today, this tradition is encouraged through tile making workshops.
07:12Classes teach simple painting techniques that help bring each tile to life.
07:18I'm finishing my visit to the museum with a private class, guided by tile expert Joanna.
07:24It's a hands-on way to experience the craft behind Lisbon's tiles
07:28and to end my time here with something truly personal.
07:32Next up on my journey, I'm checking into the Lapa Palace Hotel,
07:39a stunning historic building surrounded by gardens and old world charm.
07:45This beautifully restored 19th century palace was once owned by a Viscount,
07:50and it still carries the same sense of elegance today.
07:54One thing that stands out about this former palace is how grand and peaceful it feels.
08:00There's such a sense of heritage here, you can feel it in every detail.
08:06The hotel's rooms are classic in style, with lots of decorative touches.
08:11It's full of character and sophistication, just as you'd expect from a historic palace.
08:18Outside, the terraces look out over the Tagus River, giving you some of the best views in the city.
08:23Downstairs, that same style continues in the hotel's restaurant space.
08:32You know, this doesn't feel like a hotel, it feels like an integral part of the city,
08:37and it really does take you back to Portugal's incredible history.
08:41Next up on my journey, I'm wandering deeper into Lisbon to discover more of what the city has to offer.
08:50I'm heading to Sola dos Prasandos, a family-run spot celebrated for its fresh seafood
08:56and traditional Portuguese flavours.
08:59It's considered a local landmark, attracting visitors for over 40 years.
09:04I've been invited for a private masterclass with one of the restaurant's chefs.
09:10Chef, what traditional Portuguese cuisine are we preparing?
09:13We have three dishes.
09:15We start with the octopus, then a fried chicken with the garlic oil and coriander.
09:20Then, in the main dish, we have lobster rice.
09:25Who doesn't love a lobster? I mean, they are pretty special.
09:27And this is a Portuguese lobster?
09:29Portuguese lobster.
09:30The secret sauce for each dish is made from the leftover vegetables,
09:34a classic approach that ensures nothing goes to waste.
09:38Now it's time for us to get cooking.
09:42I think one of my favourite smells has to be coriander.
09:45It's such a beautiful aroma.
09:49As we build the flavours, I can see just how much care
09:52goes into these traditional Portuguese dishes.
09:55I don't think anything gets better than just simple ingredients,
09:58and I think that's what Portuguese cooking is all about.
10:00Simple ingredients that come together.
10:04These dishes are all about layering flavours and letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
10:10Lobster, octopus and mussels are prized ingredients in Portuguese cooking.
10:15And with just a light touch, they become something really special.
10:20After my masterclass, it's time to taste some of the dishes with Carolina Cardoso,
10:25part of the family behind this restaurant.
10:28We start with the octopus.
10:30My grandparents, they brought this dish to Lisbon when they opened the restaurant.
10:34The clams is just the normal Portuguese clams.
10:36There's no magic, no nothing.
10:38It's just about really good products from our coast.
10:40Portuguese cuisine, it's all about the ingredients.
10:45Sharing this meal with Carlolina helps me understand why this place is so popular.
10:49It's food with history, family and flavour.
10:55As my journey comes to a close, I'm ending my time in Lisbon with a boat trip along the coast.
11:01Carolina, a local tour guide, is taking me out on the water.
11:05It's a lovely way to see the city from another angle.
11:09I think one of my favourite things is all the different colours and then the pop of the trees at the top.
11:15You notice the colours so much.
11:16And it's the same as what you notice in the tiles as well.
11:19The blues, the whites, the yellows, the pink.
11:23It's great just sitting back here relaxing on the ocean,
11:26getting to see the different elements and levels of the city.
11:33After a fantastic day on the water, the captain lets me take the wheel as we head back to shore.
11:39For me, Lisbon is a city of layers.
11:42Layers to its history, layers to its streets and layers to its famous pastry.
11:47I've had such a wonderful time here in Lisbon and truly feel part of the Portuguese culture.
11:53But now, on to the next adventure.
