| Greta Thunberg Returns to Portugal |
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, now 22, has made a discreet return to Portugal, her second visit to the country that once welcomed her as a teenage symbol of urgent change.
Spotted on November 19, 2025, strolling through the
central city of Entrancement, affectionately known as the "Land of Rare
Phenomena," Thunberg was recognized by local journalists from Entrancement
Online.
Carrying a simple backpack and accompanied by a
companion, she shared a warm, understated explanation: she is in Portugal for
"work and tourism," intending to "visit places and people."
Her low-key arrival began earlier in the month when she
was photographed aboard a Spanish Renfe train en route from Galicia, sparking
playful speculation across social media from attending a climate forum to
protesting Vigo's famed Christmas lights.
None proved true; instead, Thunberg opted for the
eco-friendly rhythm of rail travel, true to her lifelong refusal to fly.
This unannounced trip stands in gentle contrast to her
dramatic 2019 docking in Lisbon aboard a zero-emission catamaran, en route to
the COP25 summit in Madrid.
Back then, crowds cheered her as a beacon of youth-led
defiance against climate inaction. Today, her presence feels more intimate, a
reminder that the fight persists not only in headlines but in quiet moments of
connection and reflection.
As whispers of her visit spread across Portuguese media, one truth shines clear: Greta Thunberg's unwavering commitment continues to inspire, one train ride and one rare phenomenon at a time.
