Meeting Point

Praça Dom Pedro IV, 1100-193 Lisboa

08:10 AM

Church of São Domingos

Explore one of Lisbon's most iconic churches, São Domingos, where extreme beauty intertwines with a sinister past. Commissioned by D. Sancho II in the 13th century, the church underwent significant transformations due to renovations, earthquakes, and fires. Intricately linked to the Inquisition, it witnessed the execution of heretics in public squares and played a role in one of Lisbon's darkest episodes—the 1506 massacre of Jews.

08:30 AM

Restauradores Square

Discover the square commemorating the liberation of the country from Spanish rule on December 1, 1640.

08:40 AM

Carmo Square

Carmo Square is widely recognized for events that altered the country's history, notably the downfall of the dictatorial regime in place until 1974.

08:50 AM

Santa Justa Elevador

The city's most iconic elevator, boasting a waiting line of approximately two hours. Did you know you can reach the top without a ticket and skip the line? I'll share how during our visit.

09:10 AM

House of do Ferreira das Tabuletas

Constructed in 1864 by Masonic-minded Galician capitalist Manuel Moreira Garcia, is a captivating Pombaline-style gem. It creatively weaves Masonic symbols, classical niches representing Earth, Water, Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, and Science, and 'trompe l'oeil' painting.

09:20 AM

Chiado Neighbourhood

If there are Lisbon neighborhoods that never go out of style, Chiado is undoubtedly one. So much to explore here! Historic shops, international fashion brands, theaters, museums, churches, viewpoints, and renowned cafes and restaurants—all blend seamlessly, creating a vibrant tapestry in the heart of Lisbon.

10:00 AM

Downtown Lisbon

Baixa is Lisbon's vibrant heart—once devastated by a powerful 1755 earthquake, now a marvelous blend of history, Portuguese culture, and modern tourism. Explore bustling streets, grand squares, and classical buildings, where locals and visitors create a welcoming and diverse atmosphere.

10:20 AM

Roman Theatre

Lisbon's Roman Theater: A 2000-year-old symbol steeped in history. A testament to ancient times, inviting visitors to journey back to the 1st century AD. Once one of Roman Lisbon's grandest symbols, it stands as a captivating piece of the city's past.

10:30 AM

Santa Luzia Viewpoint

Santa Luzia viewpoint, one of Lisbon's most romantic spots, perches on the slope of São Jorge Castle's hill, overlooking the ancient Alfama district and the Tagus River. Amidst azulejo panels depicting the 1147 conquest of São Jorge Castle and Praça do Comércio pre-1755 earthquake, it's a favorite spot for couples to enjoy the view.

11:00 AM

Portas do Sol Viewpoint

Visiting Portas do Sol viewpoint isn't just about the fantastic view—it's a chance to soak in Lisbon's authentic charm. It feels like being on a welcoming and lively balcony with its bustling atmosphere. Besides the postcard-worthy panorama, you can enjoy an authentic Portuguese coffee at the kiosk, spot the famous Tram 28 passing by, and meet the statue of Saint Vincent, Lisbon's patron, holding the boat, a symbol of the capital.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and found my knowledge helpful. Your recommendation means a lot to me!

Excelente tour personalizado

Raquel nos brindó un excelente tour, adaptado a las necesidades de toda mi familia. Interactuó mucho con mis hijos de 7 y 10 años, y adaptó el recorrido para mis papás que tienen 80 años y alguna restricción de movilidad. Raquel es muy conocedora de la historia y nos pareció una tremenda experiencia para conocer la historia de la virgen de Fátima. Gracias Raquel!
