Itinerary

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Augusta Street Arch is often thought to represent the grand entryway into the biblical Solomon’s Temple. Standing in a prominent position in Praça do Comércio, all of the symbols on the Arch serve to remember and celebrate the varied history of Portugal while glorifying the rich cultural icons of the land.

  • Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) (Pass By)

    Previous site of the Royal Palace, devastated in 1755 by a earthquake, is now one of the biggest enclosed plazas in Europe.

  • Casa dos Bicos-Museu de Lisboa (Pass By)

    Originally built in 1521 is a great example of the 16th-century architectural style of Lisbon. Today, it is the headquarters of the José Saramago Foundation, which is dedicated to the works and message of the only Portuguese author to have won the Nobel Prize for Literature so far.

  • Museu do Fado (Pass By)

    The Fado Museum preserves and exhibits the legacy and cultural influence of Fado, the traditional Portuguese guitar-led music style.

  • Alfama (Pass By)

    The 2nd oldest neighbourhood in Europe with streets that still bear the Arabic influence that characterised the city. Alfama is one of the most-visited and iconic districts in the city as well as one of the most popular with tourists and photographers.

  • Panteao Nacional (Pass By)

    Set in the alleys of the ancient Alfama district, the building you can admire today took over 280 years to build. It is the resting place of many Portuguese heroes.

  • Feira da Ladra (Pass By)

    The Feira da Ladra is a traditional open-air flea market held every Tuesday and Saturday in and around the Campo de Santa Clara for locals and tourists alike.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Viewing point from the old gate in the Cerca Moura (Moorish city wall) from which you can see a series of key Lisbon landmarks. Located roughly at the midpoint of the route between São Jorge Castle above and the cathedral, reputed to be Lisbon’s oldest building.

  • Miradouro de Santa Luzia (Pass By)

    Viewing point with a church originally built by the Knights of the Order of Malta in the 12th century.

  • Lisbon Cathedral (Pass By)

    Commissioned by King Afonso I of Portugal in 1150 and built where a Mosque erected by the Islamic Moors once stood, the cathedral is the most important Catholic building in the city. The long series of collapses and renovation works made today's Cathedral a mixture of styles.

  • Church of St. Anthony (Pass By)

    Church built on the site of the purported birthplace of Saint Anthony of Lisbon. Being the patron saint of newly-weds and marriage vows, Saint Anthony features in many traditions. In this point of interest, single women might throw a coin to the saint's statue hoping to get married within a year.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    This Monastery proved an example for much subsequent church- building in Portugal and was in use until the abolition of the religious orders in the early 19th century.

  • Largo de Sao Rafael (Pass By)

    Is a small plaza within 500 metres of the castle of Sao Jorge

  • Arco de Jesus (Pass By)

    It is named "Door of the Sea" because it was one of the main entrances into the city from the beach and harbour when Lisbon was fortified

  • Conserveira de Lisboa (Pass By)

    is a well-known family-owned grocery store that specialises in the sale of canned fish

David our tour guide was...

Published on Dec, 2024

David our tour guide was wonderful and we loved spending the afternoon with him. Very informative and told the history of Alfama/Lisbon with stories that we will certainly remember!

Worth the uphill walk!

Published on Nov, 2024

Daniela our tour guide was excellent, so young, yet so much knowledge of her home town's history! Learning is always important when admiring the beautiful sites in a “new place”.

Morning walking tour of Alfama

Published on Sep, 2024

Daniella our guide was such a sweetheart. She was so excited to share her city with us and to show us around . We were so lucky to be the only two on the tour and to have her full attention. We got to see and learn so much. I highly recommend this tour and you will be very happy if you also get Daniella to show you around

Bia is an amazing guide for an amazing tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

Bia is an amazing tour guide! She is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. She speaks English almost perfectly fluently, and was able to answer every question I had. The destinations visited on the tour are incredible, and the tour is well structured around significant buildings. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would happily recommend to friends!

Grand walking tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Very relaxed experience. We were lucky that it was just my wife and I and our guide, Bea, who was young, agile and allowed us to take our time. We loved it all!
