About this experience
Passing through the downtown area of Lisbon, you will learn about the earthquake of 1755 and how that changed the city forever. See Rossio, the heart of the city center and head to the top of one of the city’s hills: Graça. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking views overlooking the city and the river.
You will then explore the most authentic neighborhood of Lisbon: Alfama. You will fall in love with its narrow maze-like streets and feel like you are suddenly in a small village.
It is time to visit another neighborhood: Belém. Here you will have the chance to see the impressive Jerónimos Monastery, the resting place of kings, queens and the famous navigator Vasco da Gama and poet Camões. After the Monastery it is time to go to the Belém Tower, a fortress built by order of King Manuel I in order to protect the banks of Lisbon in the 16th century.
Before returning to the hotel, enjoy a delicious Belém pastry.
