Lisbon has many faces, but this tour shows you the ones that tell its true story. From the splendour of the golden age of the Discoveries to the popular and vibrant atmosphere of Alfama, you'll visit the places that define the identity of the Portuguese capital.
The experience begins in the Belém area, where the Belém Tower rises next to the Tagus as a symbol of a country facing the world. The Jerónimos Monastery, a masterpiece of Manueline architecture, bears witness to the cultural, spiritual and scientific wealth of the period.
Between monuments, there's time to savour tradition: the pastéis de nata (custard tarts) of Belém, which are part of the imagination and palate of those who visit the city.
The Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries) brings to life the protagonists of Portuguese maritime history, in a monument that honours the daring and knowledge of the navigators.
The tour ends in the city's most charismatic neighbourhood. Alfama is a maze of narrow streets, colourful façades and a unique atmosphere. Here you can feel the soul of Lisbon - alive, authentic, timeless.
This tour is ideal for those visiting the city for the first time, but also for those who want to revisit Lisbon with more attentive eyes and deeper context. A guided experience that gives you much more than pretty pictures - it gives you memories, flavour and understanding.
