Itinerary
-
Praca Dom Pedro IV (Pass by)
Lisbon’s historic heart for over 700 years, Rossio has seen revolutions, royal parades, and even public executions. Today, it buzzes with life, surrounded by cafés, grand 19th-century façades, and iconic wave-patterned cobblestones. It's where Lisbon gathers, protests, celebrates… and grabs a coffee.
Admission ticket free -
Chiado (Pass by)
Lisbon’s classy bohemian quarter, where poets once sipped coffee and artists argued about art. Today, it’s a stylish mix of old bookstores, fancy shops, cool cafés, and street performers. Think Paris meets Portugal — with better pastries.

Tucked into a Chiado side street since 1732, Bertrand isn’t just a bookstore — it’s the oldest one in the world still running! Imagine centuries of readers, revolutionaries, and romantic poets browsing its shelves. Step inside, smell the paper, and time-travel with a good book.

Forget souvenirs; this is the stop you’ll actually dream about later. At Alcoa, an assortment of fresh sweet pastries (Pastel de Nata and beyond) right in front of you, with buttery crusts, egg yolks and creamy centers still warm from the oven, invariably developed by the monks in the many monasteries of Portugal. One bite, and you’ll understand why locals never just get one. Pure diabetes on sight, but the walking does help burn it off.

Baixa de Lisboa (Pass by)
Lisbon’s downtown comeback story—rebuilt after the massive 1755 earthquake with straight streets, grand plazas, and clever design. Today it’s all about elegant architecture, tiled façades, street performers, and pastel de nata breaks between selfies. History never looked so tidy!
Admission ticket free -
Alfama (Pass by)
Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood and a beautiful maze of narrow alleys, hidden courtyards, and laundry flapping in the breeze. It’s where Fado echoes through the streets and every corner feels like a secret. Come for the history, stay for the vibes (and maybe get a little lost — on purpose).

Tiny shop, big flavor! A Ginjinha is the legendary hole-in-the-wall where Lisboetas have knocked back this cherry liqueur since 1840. Sweet, strong, and sometimes served with a boozy cherry at the bottom, it's the perfect little Lisbon warm-up in a shot glass. Cheers — or as we say here, saúde!
