Full description

Discover one of Europe's most captivating and picturesque capitals on a guided walking tour. Built on a series of hills and offering panoramic views from countless spots, explore the city with a local guide who will make sure that you have an interesting and fun experience.

Begin the tour in the 5-centuries-old Bairro Alto, where you’ll learn about the evolution of the city. After the earthquake of 1755 this space attracted families from the Baixa and Bairro districts, who began the process of renewal. Pass by the garden of São Pedro de Alcântara and enjoy views of Baixa and the south bank of the Tagus River. Visit the San Roque Church built by the Jesuits. Admire its austere façade, and the gilding, tiles, and paintings inside that make it a wonderful museum of Mannerist and Baroque styles. Head down the hill to the Carmo convent and church, fine examples of the city’s Gothic architecture. This is a site of historical importance as it was here that the Carnation Revolution began in 1974, putting an end to nearly 5 decades of dictatorship. A little further on, arrive at the Santa Justa elevator, an imposing monument built in the Gothic Revival style, that provides one of the best viewpoints in the city. See a number of attractions in Baixa, in the heart of the city.

After a short break, take a ride on the tram, going up from the castle to the Portas do Sol. At the Portas do Sol, see the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, the National Pantheon, and the Alfama district that spans several narrow streets to the River Tagus. Explore Alfama, one of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, known for its fado houses, and the popular festivals of saints, particularly St. Anthony. End the tour at Lisbon Cathedral, built in 1150, 3 years after the city was taken back from the Moors. Over time it has been subject to various architectural changes, becoming a mixture of different styles.

We had very rainy weather but Beatriz offered us the chance to change to another day. All by two people stayed. Thoroughly recommend the tour, especially with Beatriz. She is local and her historical knowledge is fantastic. Great personality and kept everything interesting despite the weather. Also offers some great advice on where to go, eat etc and just as importantly what to avoid or watch out for. Thanks for a brilliant 3 hours! 👍

Our guide Ruben is amazing. He is so passionate about the city , its history, foods, culture, that we too became passionate in the sights to see and foods to taste. We also appreciated all the extra insights he provided like restaurants for authentic foods which we experienced delicious meals like piri pri chicken, codfish cakes, seafood and tasted the best custard tarts. In addition, we thank Ruben for showing us the hidden elevators which we used on our way back to the hotel . Thank you Ruben for introducing the city to us on the first day in Lisbon It was a perfect way to start our adventure in the city and would highly recommend this tour and Ruben when you arrive in this city. Thank you!!!
