About this experience
Explore the wonders of Portuguese cuisine on our award-winning Lisbon Food Tour through the Baixa District, the city’s only flat neighbourhood and a vibrant centre of history, flavour, and culture. With everything pre-arranged, you’ll skip the queues and dive straight into authentic tastes as your expert local guide leads you from the Tagus River through grand squares and past landmarks like Igreja de São Domingos, sharing the story of the “new Lisbon” rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake.

Along the way, you’ll savour classic petiscos, fresh seafood dishes, and iconic bites like the bifana, all complemented by drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha.
