This is not a walking tour — and it’s definitely not a history lecture. It’s a cozy, fun, and insightful storytelling session, where you’ll enjoy coffee and pastries while discovering Portugal’s dramatic past in just two hours.
Led by Miguel, a passionate Lisbon-born teacher with 15+ years of experience, the session feels more like a conversation with a friend who really knows how to tell a good story — full of humor, surprising facts, and real meaning.
If you want to truly understand the country you’re visiting — not just see it — this is for you. It’s the perfect cultural experience to start your trip in Lisbon and connect with the soul of Portugal.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We should meet at the venue where the event takes place, in Rua Mécia Mouzinho de Albuquerque 1. Miguel will be at the door waiting for you.
What to expect
This is not your usual history class. Over a delicious traditional Portuguese breakfast — freshly baked bread, buttery croissants, local jams, and of course a strong bica (espresso) — your host will take you on a fun and engaging journey through Portugal’s history.
You’ll hear fascinating (and sometimes cheeky) stories about:
How Portugal’s tiny kingdom created a vast global empire
The Age of Discoveries and our fearless explorers
Quirky traditions, royal scandals, and legendary figures
How our history shaped Lisbon’s streets, culture, and food
Expect plenty of laughs, surprising facts, and delicious bites. By the end, you’ll leave with a happy stomach, great photos, and a deeper connection to Lisbon’s soul.
Perfect for: curious travelers, history lovers, and anyone who enjoys starting the day with good food and good company.
