Popular destinations generally look universally idyllic on social media. But what does reality look like? Lisbon, for example? We checked it out for you.
03:06Our tip? Visit the viewing platform on the Arco.
03:10After going up the narrow steps and paying a reasonable €4.50 entrance fee, the view will not disappoint you.
03:20Of my whole visit, the best photo I took was there.
03:25It was with my brother and we immediately loved it.
03:28Also the locals are really cool.
03:30There was a woman who immediately said, I can help and take a picture of you.
03:34So it was amazing and it turned out to be the best photo.
03:37However, we were less impressed by the Rua Augusta.
03:41It's the kind of shopping street you'll find in every major European city.
03:50Our third stop is the Miradoro das Portas do Sol, the gateway to the sun.
03:56The lookout point is a popular meeting place for both locals and tourists.
04:00This is one of the famous spots for photos in Lisbon because here you have everything.
04:09You have the historical monuments, the river, the roofs of the houses, this beautiful light.
04:15So I think that's why people love to come here to take pictures because from here you can see all the perspectives, all layers of Lisbon.
04:24Our takeaway, the nostalgic train, the majestic arch and the viewpoint overlooking the city offer scenes and colours that will brighten up your social media feed.
04:37And it's all just as stunning in real life as in the photos.
