Discover one of Europe's most captivating and picturesque capitals on a guided walking tour. Built on a series of hills and offering panoramic views from countless spots, explore the city with a local guide who will make sure that you have an interesting and fun experience.
Begin the tour in the 5-centuries-old Bairro Alto, where you’ll learn about the evolution of the city. After the earthquake of 1755 this space attracted families from the Baixa and Bairro districts, who began the process of renewal.
Pass by the garden of São Pedro de Alcântara and enjoy views of Baixa and the south bank of the Tagus River. Visit the San Roque Church built by the Jesuits. Admire its austere façade, and the gilding, tiles, and paintings inside that make it a wonderful museum of Mannerist and Baroque styles.
Head down the hill to the Carmo convent and church, fine examples of the city’s Gothic architecture. This is a site of historical importance as it was here that the Carnation Revolution began in 1974, putting an end to nearly 5 decades of dictatorship.
A little further on, arrive at the Santa Justa elevator, an imposing monument built in the Gothic Revival style, that provides one of the best viewpoints in the city. See a number of attractions in Baixa, in the heart of the city.
After a short break, take a ride on the tram, going up from the castle to the Portas do Sol. At the Portas do Sol, see the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, the National Pantheon, and the Alfama district that spans several narrow streets to the River Tagus.
Explore Alfama, one of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, known for its fado houses, and the popular festivals of saints, particularly St. Anthony.
End the tour at Lisbon Cathedral, built in 1150, 3 years after the city was taken back from the Moors. Over time it has been subject to various architectural changes, becoming a mixture of different styles.

It was very informative. Loved that we went on the tram. Guide super knowledgeable
C'était top, notre guide Mélanie était super. Nous étions 12 et nous avons tous adorés ce tour, toutes les histoires, les explicatifs, les quartiers, les monuments. A faire sans hésitation. La durée de la visite est bien (3h) . UN GRAND GRAND MERCI A MELANIE :)
The tour and guide were very good. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that company emailed me to make sure I was on time with strikes in Lisbon and the guide was late . Otherwise he was very good and great Info.
Die Tour würde ich jedem weiter empfehlen.
Joao was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and took us around amazing parts of the city! Great value for money! We got to also make a stop to have pastel de nata with an espresso which was a very nice touch!
Le guide exprime l’histoire de la ville avec une connaissance parfaite. De temps en temps de l’humour et beaucoup de gentillesse. Nous avons passé un très agréable moment. Je recommande plus plus plus.
One of the highlights of my trip to Lisbon. my guide (I believe her name was Leonor) was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Lisbon and its history. The tour ended up lasting longer than planned because she generously shared extra recommendations, favourite restaurants, wine bars and hidden spots around the city. One of my favourite moments was visiting the oldest bookshop in Lisbon, where someone even asked if we were mother and daughter! As a solo traveller, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her enthusiasm, kindness and love for Lisbon made this one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Highly recommended and will be a lasting memory for me.
