    16 LUÍS MIGUEL BRITO Intercultural interpretation discourses, techniques and strategies used by tour guides in the Coach Museum, Lisbon: Eight issues LUÍS MIGUEL BRITO Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril The Coach Museum in Lisbon houses one of the finest collections of coaches in the world. It is the second most visited museum in Portugal and it is often included in the Lisbon city tour. Tourist guides often perform visits to the museum. They are mediators between heritage and tourists, involving them not only in the collection but also in the life of the people who used the coaches. A guided tour to the museum can be either a nightmare or nice dream. It will be a nightmare if the guide conveys uninteresting information about the objects and vehicles exhibited, if s/he is centred on him/herself. But it can also be very lively and interesting if interpretation strategies are centred around the tourist and his/her culture. The aim of intercultural interpretation is to awaken different kinds of emotions in the tourist, from piety to amusement, using fantasy and reality. This paper discusses the different characteristics tourist guides’ interpretation assumes in Lisbon’s Coach Museum. The researcher heard the speech of fifty professional guides visiting the museum, during the months of September and October 2009. Data obtained were included in his PhD thesis. The anthropological technique applied is direct observation, defined as “direct involvement of the field researcher with the social group studied, within the parameters of the group standards” (Iturra, 1987: 149). The paper is divided into the following parts: introduction (including tourist information versus intercultural heritage interpretation, methodology, interpretation- eight issues, and final considerations.

  • Driving in Europe: Amsterdam to Portugal by Barry Pasternack
    1 Driving in Europe: Amsterdam to Portugal by Barry Pasternack While I lived in Europe off and on for over two years, I never made it to Portugal. Perhaps it was the fact that it was stuck at the end of the Iberian peninsula and therefore harder to reach than other countries, perhaps it was because for much of the time I lived in Europe Portugal was a dictatorship (it was not until 1976 that a democratically elected Prime Minister took office), but for whatever reason, I had not visited. Given that I had some personal business to take care of in the Netherlands and I had three weeks to spare, my wife and I decided to drive from Amsterdam down to Portugal and cross another activity off the “bucket list.” In total, we drove over 3,000 miles during our 15 day trip to Portugal and saw sights in the Netherlands, France, and Spain along the way. Our trip south began on Monday, March 27th when we drove from Tilburg, a city in southern Netherlands where I worked as a consultant in the 1980’s and we reached the outskirts of Paris right around rush hour (all roads in France seem to go through Paris). Given that we had experienced rush hour in Paris on an earlier trip to Europe a few years back, we knew enough to book a hotel on the outskirts of the city. The next morning we left Paris and drove to Bordeaux where I had booked a room at the Intercontinental using a free night (except for the five euro city tax) I received for renewing my IHG Mastercard (annual cost of $49).

  • Lisbon, What the Tourist Should See
    Fernando Pessoa Lisbon, what the tourist should see ... illustrated and geolocalized http://lisbon.pessoa.free.fr 1 of 48 What the Tourist Should See Over seven hills, which are as many points of observation whence the most magnificent panoramas may be enjoyed, the vast irregular and many-coloured mass of houses that constitute Lisbon is scattered. For the traveller who comes in from the sea, Lisbon, even from afar, rises like a fair vision in a dream, clear-cut against a bright blue sky which the sun gladdens with its gold. And the domes, the monuments, the old castles jut up above the mass of houses, like far-off heralds of this delightful seat, of this blessed region. The tourist's wonder begins when the ship approaches the bar, and, after passing the Bugio lighthouse 2 - that little guardian-tower at the mouth of the river built three centuries ago on the plan of Friar João Turriano -, the castled Tower of Belém 3 appears, a magnificent specimen of sixteenth century military architecture, in the romantic-gothic-moorish style (v. here ). As the ship moves forward, the river grows more narrow, soon to widen again, forming one of the largest natural harbours in the world with ample anchorage for the greatest of fleets. Then, on the left, the masses of houses cluster brightly over the hills. That is Lisbon . Landing is easy and quick enough ; it is effected at a point of the bank where means of transport abound. A carriage, a motor-car, or even a common electric trail, will carry the stranger in a few minutes right to the centre of the city.
