Itinerary

  • Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte

    Lisbon, with its rich tapestry of history spanning over three millennia, has been deeply influenced by the presence of Sephardic Jews.

    Next, come with us and visit Alfama, the second oldest district in Europe, where the physical signs of Jewish presence still linger. This area, with its narrow streets and ancient buildings, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Jewish community in Lisbon.

    45 minutes

  • Baixa de Lisboa

    You'll explore the remnants of what was once known as “Small Jerusalem,” the largest Jewish quarter in Europe before it was devastated by the 1755 earthquake. Despite the destruction, traces of its rich history remain visible. Throughout the tour, you'll hear about how Crypto Judaism became an integral part of Portuguese identity, with Jews practicing their faith in secret for centuries. The tour will also touch upon Lisbon's role during World War II, when it became a sanctuary for European Jews seeking refuge from the horrors of the Holocaust.

This stop will provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, uncovering stories that have shaped Lisbon's Jewish heritage.

This stroll will immerse you in ancient memories and the daily life of the Jewish community that once thrived here.

    At Rossio Square, delve into the dark history of the Portuguese Inquisition. You'll learn about its operations and the events that led to the establishment of a Jewish Memorial here, one of the most significant sites in Portuguese Jewish history.

  • Carmo Archaeological Museum

    Visit the Carmo Museum, dating back to the 14th-15th centuries, where you'll see old Jewish archaeological finds.

Great value, great learning!

Published on Dec, 2024

Historical and contemporary facts about Portuguese Jews have illuminated our first trip to Portugal thanks to Daniel.

Fantastic tour, amazing guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

Absolutely fantastic tour! Daniel is not only very knowledgeable, but also very passionable. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Excellent Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Diogo our tour guide was excellent. He really knew his facts and was an excellent teacher. We would highly recommend this tour especially if you can get Diogo as your guide!

Magnificent/Healing

Published on Nov, 2024

Don’t think about it, just go. I love history and I used to work in a historic home. I also study Talmud-Torah extensively with friends for fun, but it’s mostly book bound. So it meant a lot to me to get this immersive experience. Diogo is an excellent, very knowledgeable, tour guide. “When the four hours was up I was like “Wait, for real!?” He answered all of my questions and asked me a few as well. We walked all over but I was totally invigorated after. The Portuguese aspect of our resilience as a community is such an important story. It was worth the price and then some.

A short visit

Published on Nov, 2024

Diogo’s broad knowledge and his willingness to share it was a trip highlight. In the few hours we had in Lisbon, he made it shine.
