Itinerary

  • N/A

    The Ohel Jacob Synagogue (“Tent of Jacob”) was founded in 1934 by a small Jewish group of Ashkenazic origin from Central Europe. This group of Jews, primarily Poles, would play a remarkable role in the dynamization of this religious space, a singular synagogue characterized by its openness to the outside, tolerance and understanding for Jews of all origins, especially the integration of the descendants of Marranos – or b’nei Anusim –, these sons of the “forced”.

    40 minutes

  • Walking Through Lisbon History

    We walk on one of the most beautiful streets in Lisbon – Augusta Street – and see Rossio Square, with its famous Theater D. Maria II, previously known as the Palace of Estaus – the Inquistion Headquarters. Here you will visit the Jewish Memorial, known as Largo de Sao Domingos.

    1 hour

  • Alfama

    We start out in the Alfama Jewish quarter, where you will discover the most ancient and traditional neighborhood in all of Lisbon. Wander with us through the narrow streets and local small squares – truly an experience not to be missed.

    1 hour

  • Baixa de Lisboa

    Next, we visit the quarter known as Old Jewry, where you will see the majestic Manueline door of the Old Conception Church and learn about the rich history of the ancient Palace Square.

    1 hour

  • Miradouro da Graca (Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen)

    One of the most beautiful views of Lisbon City just by side Sao Jorge Castle.

    1 hour

  • Bairro Alto

    We are now in the third and final Jewish quarter on our tour, the Judiaria da Pedreira, located in the Largo do Carmo Square in the Barrio Alto. The narrow streets and lively squares of the Barrio Alto make it one of Lisbon’s most famous neighborhoods.

    2 hours

  • Torre de Belem

    Next, it’s off to the Belem quarter to visit the Jeronimos Monastery, Belem Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries. Our day ends with an internationally known delicacy – the “pastel de Belem,” Lisbon’s delicious custard pastry, and our thanks for visiting Jewish Lisbon.

Paulo was fantastic!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Central and Southern Spain and in Portugal. Besides the Wonderful Port and Sherry tasting in the Douro Valley and in Jerez our trip had a Jewish history focus. None of our guides (and there were many) did a better job then Paulo did of sharing his knowledge of the historical plight of the jews in Portugal especially as it relates to the Conversos. All in all, I highly recommend Paulo. He was real mensch

Lisbon Jewish Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Our Jewish Tour of Lisbon was excellent. It was eye opening and helped us understand the role Jews played in Portugal throughout the centuries. We visited Jewish historic sites and got a deeper understanding of how Jews became a secret society. Our guide took us to a small reformed Synagogue in the city and we saw many historic artifacts. It was an informative tour and I highly recommend it

Interesting, beautiful and educational.

Published on Oct, 2024

We were picked up at the airport and started the tour right away. I loved the views of the city. We learned a lot about the history of the city. I was impressed how clean and friendly it is. Our tour guide Paulo was wonderful.

Absolutely the best tour of our trip

Published on Oct, 2024

No question that this was the absolute best experience of our trip in Lisbon and we did a lot. Paulo was absolutely outstanding. To show us the history of Jews and Lisbon with the inquisition and how the government treated Jews at various times was so enlightening and the trip to the memorial And the way Paulo was able to weave a story throughout. The city was amazing. We are so grateful that we took this tour. If you have any interest in Jewish history you have to carve out time to do this Simply outstanding — five stars is not enough.

Jewish Lisbon Private Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Paulo was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative, and we particularly appreciated his bringing us to the small Polish synagogue and meeting with its representative.
