Explore the highlights of this beautiful city
On this tour we will unveil part of the city's main sites. Starting by the Alfama quarter, its views, narrow streets and Lisbon's 12th century Cathedral, which is one of the highlights of the quarter.
I will share with you some curiosities and funny stories that will bring Alfama back to life! The walk will continue towards the downtown area, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755, by the Marquis of Pombal - an enlightened man who wanted an enlightened city. Not only will we unveil his idea, but also understand the city's development throughout the centuries and see its main squares (Trade and Rossio Square).
We will finish the tour tasting a delicious Pastel de Nata.

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourMy partner and I arrived to Lisbon by plane at 6:00 in the morning, slept for a few hours at our hotel in Alfama, and then were greeted at the door by Ana for an afternoon walking tour. She spent three and a half hours with us, and it was a lovely introduction to the city and the country. Ana is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. She taught us about history and culture, and she answered all of our questions with friendly enthusiasm. I could not recommend this tour more strongly.
