About this experience
Take a journey back in time to an era of Kings and Queens, battles fought, and love lost to discover the stories of how Lisbon came to be.
In the Medieval Hills, we will discover the origins of Lisbon. How it was founded, conquered from the Moors, and a timeline of almost 3,000 years of different civilizations. We will also explore the narrow medieval streets and marvel at the views from the city’s main viewpoints. It is probably the area of the town with the steepest hills.
Between 50 and 70 minutes, you can discover Lisbon, with detailed explanations of the historical facts and the places visited, which, by yourself, would take one full day.
