OP living his best life. Take notes brehs.

I've never been to Portugal. I've been to Spain and people there were telling me Portugal is underrated.

Ironically Portugal was extremely underrated for years, then it became West Europe's go-to place in the early-mid 10s for partying and artists. I actually fukked up because I had an opportunity to do an internship there in like 2010 but didnt go :snoop:. Spent some time there in 2016 and came back in 2019, and in those 3 years I realy felt the difference gentrification made. A good amount of locals had to move out because of the rent prices going up and airbnb taking over (I was already seeing "fukk Airbnb" graffitis in 2016). Old local bars being replaced by trendy brunch spots and whatnot, losing part of its charm and uniqueness unfortunately. Still absoluetly worth discovering obviously.

honestly might be my second fav european city

everythign dirt cheap, easy to get around, black folks

What's your first :lupe:

I ate like a king in lisbon, im talking about big ol meals for like 7 euros. I'd prob be morbidly obese if I lived in lisbon.
I remember when I did the african tour and dude brought us to this cape verdean hole in the hole for like 5 euros the amount of food I got was insane.


@CashmereThoughts I know you were eating good as well

no tipping :blessed:

I need to go back one day, only went once ages ago and for like only 3 days

Just was there two weeks ago. Was amazing like always, also went to oxford, manchester etc.

Free museums, free art galleries, goat transit system. Only thing that sucks is how pricey it is but beside that :blessed:
