00:01I'm Lily Daus and this is Grand Voyager.
00:05From my base in Qatar, I travel the world to discover incredible places
00:10filled with culture, luxury and adventure.
00:13Along the way, I meet the people, taste the flavors
00:17and experience the moments that make each destination unforgettable.
00:22Today, I'm traveling from Qatar to a coastal city in the Iberian Peninsula.
00:33I'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.
00:46Hola and welcome to Lisbon.
00:48In this episode, I'll explore this city's rich culture, food, history and grand architecture.
00:55It's such a beautiful city and I'm so excited to get to explore more.
01:01I'm starting my journey in the center of Lisbon.
01:04I've arranged to meet Anna Paula, a local tour guide.
01:08Lisbon is very, very old.
01:10We are next to our oldest cathedral, Sede Lisboa, the Bishop House.
01:15And it's the oldest church in Lisbon.
01:18So it suffered several earthquakes.
01:20The biggest one of 1755 and destroyed the bell tower.
01:25This cathedral and other parts of the city have been rebuilt many times.
01:29But its core still shows its ancient origins.
01:34Tradition plays a big part in daily life here.
01:37And Anna brings me to one of the places that means the most to her.
01:41A religious statue.
01:43So St. Anthony, can you see him in the statue and in the picture?
01:47He's born here in Lisbon.
01:48We 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.
01:59With 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.
02:11Let me point at some of them.
02:13That big church over there is the place where St. Anthony became priest.
02:19We can also see more churches.
02:21The big dump over there is the Pentanian.
02:24Lisbon is full of churches and spires.
02:27But it has an Islamic history too.
02:29Next, we head towards the city's Alfama district, where traces of that past can still be seen.
02:37Its narrow lanes, stairways and courtyards date back to the years just after the Moorish period came to an end.
02:43We are in the center of Alfama.
02:45Alfama is a neighborhood outside of the walls of the city, where the Moorish people stay after the king conquered the city.
02:53And it came from the word Al-Arama, the place with good waters.
02:58Today, 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.
03:18Lisbon is a city where history and flavor go hand in hand.
03:22And 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.
04:01Yeah, this is the only door that is closed even for me in this enterprise.
04:04Only three persons know the receipt, they 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, but the true Pastéis de Belém are made only here in this bakery.
04:19The pastry chefs here are experts in every step of the process.
04:26I'm getting the chance to try a little pastry making myself, with the help of the bakery's experienced staff.
04:33And up, this way round, this way round.
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, where 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.
04:55And they are beautiful, you did it so well.
04:57They look beautiful.
04:59It's the layers I love.
05:01They are perfect. You cannot see the difference between yours and the other ones.
05:04They are just perfect.
05:05After seeing how everything comes together, it's finally time to taste these famous pastries.
05:11And they are truly delicious, crispy on the outside and soft and creamy in the middle.
05:18A great way to round off this sweet adventure.
05:23Lisbon is a city full of atmosphere, elegance and creativity.
05:28Many of its walls are covered with artwork and painted tiles.
05:31I'm heading to a place dedicated to this unique craft.
05:36I'm here at the National Tile Museum to learn more about this iconic art form and discover how it's still inspiring artists today.
05:46To explore this artwork in more depth, museum coordinator Dora Fernandez is showing me around.
05:51This 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.
06:08Here we have one of the most iconic panels of the museum because it was one of the first productions of tiles.
06:19This 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 influenced 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.
07:01The 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.
07:13Classes teach simple painting techniques that help bring each tile to life.
07:17I'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 and to end my time here with something truly personal.
07:35Next up on my journey, I'm checking into the Lapa Palace Hotel.
07:39A stunning historic building surrounded by gardens and old world charm.
07:43This beautifully restored 19th century palace was once owned by a Viscount and 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.
08:04The 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.
08:17Outside, 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.
08:38And 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 and 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.
09:15Okay, we start with the octopus.
09:17We're now fried that's gone with the garlic oil and coriander.
09:21Then, in the main dish, we have lobster rice.
09:25Who doesn't love a lobster? I mean, they are pretty special.
09:28And this is a Portuguese lobster?
09:29Portuguese lobster.
09:30The secret sauce for each dish is made from the leftover vegetables.
09:35A classic approach that ensures nothing goes to waste.
09:39Now it's time for us to get cooking.
09:43I think one of my favourite smells has to be coriander.
09:46It's such a beautiful aroma.
09:49As we build the flavours, I can see just how much care goes into these traditional Portuguese dishes.
09:56I don't think anything gets better than just simple ingredients.
09:58And I think that's what Portuguese cooking is all about.
10:01Simple 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.
10:16And with just a light touch, they become something really special.
10:19After my masterclass, it's time to taste some of the dishes with Carolina Cardoso, part 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.
10:37There'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.
10:43Sharing this meal with Carolina helps me understand why this place is so popular.
10:50It's food with history, family and flavour.
10:56As my journey comes to a close, I'm ending my time in Lisbon with a boat trip along the coast.
11:02Carolina, 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 and it's the same as what you notice in the tiles as well.
11:19The blues, the whites, the yellows.
11:22The pink.
11:24It's great just sitting back here, relaxing on the ocean, getting to see the different elements and levels of the city.
11:30After a fantastic day on the water, the captain lets me take the wheel as we head back to shore.
11:40For me, Lisbon is a city of layers.
11:43Layers to its history, layers to its streets and layers to its famous pastry.
11:48I've had such a wonderful time here in Lisbon and truly feel part of the Portuguese culture.
11:54But now, on to the next adventure.
