Get Lost Go Local

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.

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

My mission, as a human, as a father, is to leave a better world for my kids. Unfortunately some humans (?) don’t understand the horror of war and are trying to sabotage my quest (not to mention the future of mankind). I definitely would love that some politicians, presidents, prime ministers, heads of state and their generals would go for the battle front instead of sending their youngsters aka cannon fodder killing civilians. The world is a mess and it’s ruled by a bunch of childish selfish idiots. It’s very difficult to take a toy back from the hands of a toddler, right? It’s a mental kindergarten with Trump & Putin fighting for a tiny (made in PRC) plastic fighter jet. The war must end now. I’m not talking only about this war in Palestine. There are other wars, I was born when the “Colonial War” (Freedom War for Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Timor) ended (1966-1974) I grew up with the Golf War (1990) while in high school and that was already televised. Then the Kosovo War (1998)... now the invasion of Ukraine, the war on Palestine… humanity doesn’t know how to coexist in peace and people get used to war from the coach as if we were watching a Brazilian soap opera. Stop the war, now!!! 🇵🇸 🇺🇦

If you live in a crazy world like me you might have the same thoughts: Is this the most recent art installation in Lisbon or simply a drunk driver?

No crowds, no big buses, just the quietness of a romantic village lost in the mountains. —————————— #Λισαβόνα #Лиссабо́н #リス #里斯本 #里斯本

- “It’s me, don’t worry”. I had to tell the kids that I was the “good monster”. This could be the scariest mask in the neighbourhood. Happy Halloween, or should I say “Bom dia de finados!”

Soon you won’t be able to distinguish between a real photo or a AI generated one. At one point travelling will become pointless, specially for Instagramers and influencers those kids glued in their phones… They won’t be able to beat a fake generated AI sunset photo in the Himalayas or a traditional tea ceremony with the overwhelming mount Fuji behind - you’ll making everyone envy with your ISS fake jump in space while no one can prove you didn’t. I think there will be a time, when we finally will wake up from this technology. Hopefully travel will be fun again for the ones like me (and you!) that just want to try local culture with everything it comes with: The normal city traffic, the smell of buses and public transports, the sounds of a new unknown language and a small chat with a stranger in a small counter inside a poorly cleaned cofeeshop. Obviously it might include a museum and maybe a monument, but getting local and exploring on your own, using your instinct and disconnecting your social media will be the key. Go to places that are not trendy and promoted on Time Out. Travelling with no filter will be great again when common people like me won’t care much about the fancy place anymore, because the real food is still always inside the greasy spoon places and the best moments are always when you’re with your loved ones. The special places will be unknown again in a society that always is trying to buy the good looking fancy bottles ignoring that the best wines are in the ugliest ones. So… here’s a photo of Vila Palace in Sintra with a double rainbow. 🌈 —————————— #Λισαβόνα #Лиссабо́н #リス #里斯本 #里斯本

Supposedly Walt Disney visited Sintra in 1962 and some say he was inspired by the sights and neo-Arabian - neo-Manueline style of the Pena Palace. Let’s agree to disagree, ok? Specially now, Sintra is a Disneyland full of touristy traps and plastic food restaurants. I’m still crazy for Sintra, but you really need to choose your battles.

I thought that with a city so full of tourists, so crowded and overwhelming and so hipster and full of s**t specially in recent years… I could have a peaceful moment in a quiet cemetery. I was so wrong. lastpeacefulplaceintown
