Four Days in Portugal | Exploring Lisbon and Porto

As part of my first solo trip abroad early June, I spent a total of four days in Portugal—two days in Lisbon and two days in Porto. (I also visited England, which you can find my video for here: https://youtu.be/-ndygPaau7Q).

Lisbon is a vibrant, coastal city which feels like Europe's version of San Francisco (okay.. they’re not exactly the same, but they do have striking similarities—steep hills, streetcars, close proximity to the coast, and even similar red suspension bridges). Porto boasts a lively, colorful riverfront neighborhood and a plethora of intricately designed, centuries-old churches. I hope you enjoy this video and get inspired to visit these two beautiful cities! :)
