Lisbon’s labyrinthine streets attract tourists from all over the world, but it's hard to navigate them to see the best that the city has to offer. Discover Lisbon’s 3000 year history with the help of a local guide who will lead you through four bustling neighbourhoods. Our route will pass through Chiado, Bairro Alto, Baixa, and Alfama and we’ll even see points of interest like the oldest cafe in the city as well as the world’s longest-running bookshop! Since views are so sought-after in picturesque Lisbon, we’ll also take you to one of the city's best viewpoints to take a selfie or two. Along the way you’ll hear about the devastating earthquake that brought the Royal Palace crashing down and you’ll be in the birthplace of Fado, one of Portugal’s oldest musical traditions. The best way to see Lisbon is with a guide who will tell you the stories behind these important landmarks, and give you insider recommendations to make the rest of your time in the city unforgettable.
What's Included
