Highlights

Lisbon

English, Hungarian (Native)

3 hours

Private tour (only you and your group)

Up to 15 people

Barrio Alto is Lisbon's shopping and bohemian district. We will go around its famous places to get an idea about this neighborhood. We will visit spectacular churches and lovely parks on our way. If something is upper, we rightly assume that we will have something to see from above. We will not be disappointed in Barrio Alto, great vantage points await us. We will also touch two of Lisbon's famous funiculars.

What does "without stairs" mean?

It's a shame, but there is practically no accessibility in Lisbon. The city is built on hills, the streets are cobbled, often steep, and divided by stairs. "Without stairs" walks can also involve uneven terrain, curbs, or uphill walking, but we always try to choose the easiest route. We are traveling on a route that can be pushed along by a stroller or pram. We cannot guarantee that all locations are wheelchair or electric-scooter-accessible. If you have any questions, please email me and I will try my best. Each walk has a separate description of its length and difficulty.

Lisbon without stairs - The upper town: Barrio Alto

length: about 3 km or 2 miles

climb: some

terrain: Cobbled streets and lower curbs. Due to the narrow and often crowded sidewalk, we may have to walk on the road. No stairs on our way, but not all the sights are fully accessible without steps.

reaching a starting point: Camões Square. However you can come here by public transport, it is better to take a taxi to reach the square.

Check out my other walks, you can easily do two on the same day.
