Overview

Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Europe and there are layers and layers of history so the day stats early with a unique ride on the famous Lisbon tram 28, taking in you to the Castle district area and the famous Alfama district while heading down to the city centre. Once at downtown you are going to Miradouro da Rua Augusta to enjoy the panoramic view, and next to the Lisbon Story Centre were you can walk trough the history of Lisbon. After the shaky experience, free time to lunch and get back on the tram 15 heading to the Belém district to see the Torre de Belém sitting at the Tagus riverside, and the imposing Jerónimos Monastery, both elevated to World Heritage by UNESCO that have dominated this landscape for 500 years.

Itinerary

  • Rua Augusta (Pass By)

    Augusta Street Arch is often thought to represent the grand entryway into the biblical Solomon’s Temple. Standing in a prominent position in Praça do Comércio, all of the symbols on the Arch serve to remember and celebrate the varied history of Portugal while glorifying the rich cultural icons of the land Read more about Lisbon: Old Alfama Quarter Walking Tour - https://www.viator.com/tours/Lisbon/Lisbon-Alfama-Guided-Walking-Tour/d538-73995P97?mcid=56757

  • Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)

    Admire this vast waterfront square and discover the past of this amazing space. Facing the Tagus (Tejo) to the South, the city square is still commonly known in Portuguese as Terreiro do Paço as it hosted the Paço da Ribeira until it was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake. After the earthquake, the square was completely remodeled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline Downtown (Baixa), ordered by Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal, who was (chief) Minister of Portugal from 1750 to 1777, during the reign of the Portuguese King José I. From the 19th century onwards, Praça do Comércio became the seat of some of the most important Portuguese state departaments.

    30 minutes

  • Casa dos Bicos-Museu de Lisboa (Pass By)

    Originally built in 1521 is a great example of the 16th-century architectural style of Lisbon. Today, it is the headquarters of the José Saramago Foundation, which is dedicated to the works and message of the only Portuguese author to have won the Nobel Prize for Literature so far.

  • Museu do Fado (Pass By)

    The Fado Museum preserves and exhibits the legacy and cultural influence of Fado, the traditional Portuguese guitar-led music style.

  • Alfama

    Learn the history of Alfama. Alfama is Lisbon's most emblematic quarter and one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views. Because its foundation is dense bedrock, it survived the 1755 earthquake, and a walk through this old-fashioned residential neighborhood is now a step back in time.

    20 minutes

  • Panteao Nacional (Pass By)

    Set in the alleys of the ancient Alfama district, the building you can admire today took over 280 years to build. It is the resting place of many Portuguese heroes.

  • Feira da Ladra (Pass By)

    The Feira da Ladra is a traditional open-air flea market held every Tuesday and Saturday in and around the Campo de Santa Clara for locals and tourists alike.

  • Miradouro Das Portas Do Sol (Pass By)

    Viewing point from the old gate in the Cerca Moura (Moorish city wall) from which you can see a series of key Lisbon landmarks. Located roughly at the midpoint of the route between São Jorge Castle above and the cathedral, reputed to be Lisbon’s oldest building.

  • Miradouro de Santa Luzia (Pass By)

    Viewing point with a church originally built by the Knights of the Order of Malta in the 12th century.

  • Lisbon Cathedral (Pass By)

    Commissioned by King Afonso I of Portugal in 1150 and built where a Mosque erected by the Islamic Moors once stood, the cathedral is the most important Catholic building in the city. The long series of collapses and renovation works made today's Cathedral a mixture of styles.

  • Church of St. Anthony (Pass By)

    Church built on the site of the purported birthplace of Saint Anthony of Lisbon. Being the patron saint of newly-weds and marriage vows, Saint Anthony features in many traditions. In this point of interest, single women might throw a coin to the saint's statue hoping to get married within a year.

  • Sao Vicente (Pass By)

    This Monastery proved an example for much subsequent church- building in Portugal and was in use until the abolition of the religious orders in the early 19th century.

  • Largo de Sao Rafael (Pass By)

    Is a small plaza within 500 metres of the castle of Sao Jorge

  • Arco de Jesus (Pass By)

    It is named "Door of the Sea" because it was one of the main entrances into the city from the beach and harbour when Lisbon was fortified

  • Conserveira de Lisboa (Pass By)

    is a well-known family-owned grocery store that specialises in the sale of canned fish

Walking tour of lisbon

Published on Jun, 2024

Bruno was the best tour guide very knowledgable of Portuguese history. He showed us every little things in Lisbon narrow street he made us experience to ride the tram and subway what a great adventure..

Guide, Marina, is great!

Published on Apr, 2024

Our guide, Marina, was fabulous. Knew a lot, and if didn’t, looked it up on her phone. Even played some Fada for us on her phone. She adjusted walking speed, etc for my husband who is not too fast. Time flew by. Very worth it!

Wonderful Tour, Bruno is THE BEST!

Published on Oct, 2023

This was our last day here in Lisbon and it was amazing. With small magic touches from Bruno adding knowledge and explaining things while enjoying the experience and visiting places made it to the next level. We highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about Lisbon and if you are staying for 3 or more days we definitely recommend taking it first so you learn about the places, restaurants, historical places etc.

Lisbon City Tour was amazing!

Published on Jul, 2023

We enjoyed the day with Victor as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to on the tour. It was a lot of walking and we saw a tremendous amount of the city. It was a perfect day that we will always remember.

Shout out to Ricky for the best tour of Lisbon!

Published on Sep, 2021

Ricky was a perfect tour guide and had so much inside knowledge of the sights. Ricky brought history to life with his knowledge and stories. In addition, he knew all the best local recommendations for food and our group had such a good time we all met up again later. We have traveled a lot and are history buffs, and Ricky earns my highest recommendation as a tour guide!
