About this experience

Olá, Lisbon at dawn!

Picture this: you, the golden morning light, and the city's most spectacular viewpoints, all without the tourist hordes.

Imagine standing at Miradouro Portas do Sol with panoramic views all to yourself, wandering through Alfama's narrow streets in peaceful silence, and crossing Praça do Comércio when the square is wonderfully empty.

From ancient neighborhoods to grand plazas, it's Lisbon as few experience it. Quiet and actually visible without being blocked by tour groups.

What you'll love most:

- Miradouro viewpoints when you can actually enjoy the vista without fighting for railing space
- Alfama's winding streets without tours blocking the narrow passages
- Praça do Comércio without the usual crowds (a true rarity)
- Authentic Portuguese breakfast with fresh pastries and coffee at a local café

While we can't control the weather (we're good, but not that good), we can promise a morning in Lisbon like no other.

Space is limited for 8 people—book now!
