Get Lost Go Local

Explore the city as a Lisboan, do what locals do and have a genuine experience in Lisbon. http://getlostgolocal.wordpress.com I was big in Hong-Kong!

Get Lost, Go local was founded 2012, after helping two Hong-Kong journalists discovering the secret hidden spots of Lisbon. I showed them the places, the views, local food, history, nightlife, trends and told them who we are as Lisboans. Results came some months later in a weekly magazine… wow!!! The article about Lisbon was a great work with excellent photos about our beautiful city. I started re

ceiving emails with requests to provide walking tours in a few weeks... the rest of the story you know already! Get Lost, Go Local is not a normal walking tour company, it's more a concept. It's how you travel and discover the city through the eyes of a local. I believe this is the best way of experience the local culture. Take a tour with a local person as your guide, and discover all the hidden secret spots of Lisbon.

Horseball, a recent sport (originally from France) but with roots in the Argentinian sport Pato, is played in Portugal since the 90’s. The match is fast and it consists of 2 teams with 4 players each, trying to throw a ball through a hoop. The players has to pass the ball at least 3 times before scoring. As with all equestrian activities and despite rules and safety measures, Horseball is a high risk sport. It was my first time at a Horseball ground, and I might go back, specially because our family loves horses. What impressed me more was the raiders control over the horses, absolutely stunning. 🐴

Things you would never know about Estoril back in the 40’s, the exile of kings and wealthy families of Europe, a nest of spies and obviously home to the famous… 007. Unfortunately bad acting (arguably the worst James Bond, played by Australian actor George Lazenby) was filmed partially in Portugal, showing some parts of a very charming and almost unknown Cascais and Estoril. The movie was clearly a fiasco, and that kept this area relatively quiet until the 1st tourism boom of the 90’s. Working in the Tourism Bureau of Estoril helped me knowing this area as a local and the old stories were absolutely from a spy movie. The old noble life of these wealthy families could easily be featured in books and tales and were obviously an inspiration to any writer. The Sud Express Train, clandestine Casinos and old bars, spies, wealthy and noble families, traitors and refugees of wars and spies. Perfect ingredients for scandals and intrigue. #007

The most beautiful stadium in the universe.

One of my favourite cities, always alive and beautiful in every small art deco tiled house and small details in the old buildings. Love coming back here, would love to stay longer. This is the perfect place to watch the storm passing by.

This is definitely one of my favourite buildings, fortunately in the wrong side of town, neglected but still in one piece, surviving the sadness tsunami of gentrification. Tourists won’t find this one, locals won’t pay attention to its beauty details. It’s just a building…

Rules in Sintra:
1) Go as earlier as possible.
2) If you’re carrying a baby stroller wait till your toddler can handle at least a good walking or until he’s old enough. If it’s too hot it’s too hot, if it’s raining it’s terrible, you’re buying a war that you can’t win.
3) Choose only 1 place (young adults will complain about the steep walking and the never ending staircases plus the huge lines to enter the monuments and palaces).
4) Bring water, bring a snack, bring a rain coat and umbrella (it’s august? The weather in Sintra is almost unpredictable.
5) Buy tickets in advance, make sure you’re there 20m ahead of time. Cars break down, accidents happen and if you miscalculate your arrival you’ll lose your entrance slot.
6) Sintra will be overcrowded no matter how good you plan your visit, go to the least obvious places, check instagram and Facebook and avoid the places on the top of the list. You can’t get that photo alone inside Regaleira’s well anymore. (Yesterday the line was over 100 people cueing - that means 45m of waiting for a photo). Go to ChatGPT and you can pop yourself into all monuments without people photobombing you.
7) 7 ia the perfect number, read all the rules again and have fun, or wait till all this madness goes away and you can Always Visit Portugal Again. 🤔 (we need some 🧢 with this) —————————— #Λισαβόνα #Лиссабо́н #リス #里斯本 #里斯本

1st day after the government falling and Lisbon had finally sun after the rainiest month that I’ve seen in 15years… Tourism is restarting and we’re back in Lisboaland. Doh!!!!!

Lisbon, California. In a crazy world, be a lunatic - there are no tariffs for the craziest ones. Curious if Trump would claim this bridge as part of the American Empire. It was built by an American company… it makes sense, right? 🤦‍♂️🫣

Be careful. Some of the best photographers risk their life’s in stupid ways. ⚠️

Merry Xmas dear friends. All the best for you and your family. Last day in Lisbon I spotted a crow in this beautiful street at Graça. It’s a sign, I thought. The crows were the protectors of Saint Vincent and they become one of the beloved symbols of Lisbon. I’m 49 and I never saw one crow in Lisbon in my entire life. Merry Xmas - wish you the best year of your life, hopefully in peace. —————————— #Λισαβόνα #Лиссабо́н #リス #里斯本 #里斯本
