Spend 48 hours enjoying Lisbon to the max on 2 different double-decker bus tours and 1 boat tour.  Belém Lisbon Bus Tour In this Lisbon tour bus, travel along the city's main avenues with the fresh breeze of the Tagus on your face — from the historic center to the monuments of Belém. This iconic area is a must see on any Lisbon tour buses, with its monuments to the Portuguese voyages of discovery: the Jerónimos Monastery, Tower of Belém, and Monument to the Discoveries, as well as various museums (the Coach Museum in particular). Modern Lisbon Bus Tour This trip follows the Tagus from the heart of the city to Parque das Nações. On this site, which famously was the venue for the 1998 World Expo, you'll come across distinctive modern architecture alongside leisure areas and restaurants. While you're there, don't miss the Oceanarium, the second largest of its kind in the world. And because Lisbon wouldn't be Lisbon without its traditional fado music, take a trip to the Fado Museum and learn more about this wonderful music. Yellow Boat River Tour Far from the noise and rush of the city, during Lisbon's boat trips it seems like you are standing on a floating stage with a privileged view to the “7 Hills City”.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, located on the coast. From the imposing Castelo de São Jorge, the view encompasses the pastel colored buildings of the old town, the Tejo estuary and the 25 de Abril Bridge. Nearby, the Museu Nacional do Azulejo displays 5 centuries of decorative tiles. Close to Lisbon, there is a sequence of Atlantic beaches, including Cascais and Estoril. In the vast estuary of the Tejo River, this old and full of light, beautiful southern city stretches over its 7 hills along the river, with the Atlantic Ocean so close by. “City of many and varied people” as it was called when, coming from a distant new world revealed by the Portuguese Discoveries, throughout the centuries. In the 15th and 16th centuries, gold, precious stones, silk or the most varied spices from Africa, Brazil or the Far East arrived here. The marks of this pioneering globalization are present in architecture, gastronomy, traditions and language. But, above all, with centuries of interracial, cultural and religious coexistence, in the affability and tolerance of the Portuguese people. Mythically founded by Ulysses, the Greek hero of Homer's Epic, here the visitor will find real marks of the Roman presence (the Olissipo of Julius Caesar) or Moorish (the Al Usbana Islamica) and the Judeo-Christian culture. After the reconquest (1147) Lisbon becomes the capital of Portugal in 1255.

Capital of Portugal since 1255, Lisbon was once considered the jewel of the Atlantic by the Roman emperor Augustus, having been conquered in the Middle Ages by the legions of North Africa. Later, under Portuguese rule, it came to be considered the most important port in the world, as the departure pier for the Portuguese caravels that led, more than 500 years ago, the golden age of discoveries. Pastéis de Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, Monument to the Discoveries, S. Jorge Castle These are some of the must-see places on this journey, works of art that define the grandeur and history of the city of Lisbon and representative of the Portuguese nation.

The beautiful Azulejo tiles you see in Lisbon and around Portugal are the result of an art form with a long history in the country that began during the Arabic occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. You’ll begin this 8-hour tour heading south of Lisbon to the beautiful Azeitão region, where you’ll visit the well-known Azulejos de Azeitão workshop. Learn how the tiles have been made over the years, as old techniques are still used to replicate centuries-old art. After learning the basics about the art, you’ll have a chance to paint your own tile, which will be baked later and sent to your hotel in Lisbon, or back home if your prefer (cost of shipping not included). After a busy morning, choose where you’d like to have lunch with your guide: The fishing village of Sesimbra is just a short drive away. Return to Lisbon and, en route, admire some of the most impressive tile artwork around the city. In the afternoon, you’ll visit the lovely Madre de Deus Convent, dating from the 15th century, and home to the Azulejo Museum. The interior of the church is a Baroque masterpiece, considered to be a total piece of art, where all elements were designed to form the perfect whole. The Museum features an impressive collection of tiles, ranging from the 15th century to contemporary artists, and includes the most important international schools, as the Spanish and Dutch, among others. End the visit seeing some iconic pieces from Portuguese masters such as Bordalo Pinheiro, Raúl Lino, and Maria Keil, among others.
