Watch: Lisbon Residents Struggle to Identify Braga on the Map in Viral TikTok Challenge

The Viral TikTok Challenge

A Portuguese TikToker, known as Sr. Mirtilo, took to the streets of Lisbon to test the geographical knowledge of local youths. In a recently viral video that has amassed around 500,000 views, he shows them a blank map of mainland Portugal with only the Braga district highlighted in red.

Responses from Lisboetas

Despite the clear indication, the responses from the Lisbon residents were surprising. Many incorrectly identified the district, suggesting places like Viana do Castelo, Viseu, Vila Real, and Samora Correia instead.

Controversy Surrounding the Video

The video sparked a debate, with over 500 comments. One viewer claimed that the district shown was not actually Braga, suggesting the video could be misleading. The comment read, "The district you showed us wasn’t that one in the video."
