Meeting Point

Meeting point: (Lisbon) At your preferred location whether it’s your accommodation, the airport, a train station, or the harbor.

Parque das Nações

We will depart from your hotel at the agreed time to visit the site where, in 1998, Lisbon hosted Expo 98, the Parque das Nações. Inspired by the glorious era of Portuguese maritime expansion, the site showcases bold and functional architecture.

Alfama

Next, we will explore the oldest part of Lisbon, Alfama, walking through its narrow streets and alleys. Discovering Alfama is an immersion in Portuguese authenticity. Fado, the most typical and charismatic music of Portugal, was born in this neighborhood, bringing with it a peculiar melancholy called saudade.

Bairro Alto - Chiado

It’s time to climb the Lisbon hill and explore two neighborhoods that are so different yet similar at the same time. Bairro Alto, famous for its network of streets that, on weekends, fill with young people seeking a bohemian atmosphere, is contrasted by the Chiado district.

Baixa de Lisboa

Continuing our Lisbon Tour, we will cross Baixa, the area most affected by the great earthquake of 1755 that devastated the city. It’s crucial to understand the relevance of Pombaline architecture, which rebuilt buildings innovatively, widening streets and squares, and incorporating 18th-century earthquake-resistant techniques. Marquês de Pombal, the statesman responsible for the reconstruction, not only shaped the city but also the economic and social changes post-earthquake.

Belém

After lunch, our Lisbon Tour continues to Belém, a true open book on the Portuguese maritime expansion. This area was home to the old shipyards and docks of Lisbon, from where fearless Portuguese explorers set sail in the 15th century, opening sea routes to India, Africa, and Brazil. This glorious past was celebrated and funded by the vast wealth that came from the colonies.

Cristo Rei

Depending on the time available during our tour, we can also visit Cristo Rei on the south bank of the Tagus River, crossing the 25 de Abril Bridge, inaugurated in 1966, one of the largest suspension bridges in the world. Cristo Rei is a site that attracts pilgrims from all over the world, offering undeniably one of the best views of Lisbon, with its highest point approximately 200 meters high.
