About this experience
Welcome to Lisbon, where every corner has a story and each viewpoint reveals a new angle on this capital of contrasts. Birthplace of navigators and poets, the city is a mosaic of cultures. Its charm lies in the details: colorful tiles, cobbled streets, and the iconic number 28 streetcar rattling by. With this selection of must-see sites, we’ll explore what makes Lisbon so special. Our tour begins in the heart of Alfama, the oldest district, and passes landmarks like the Lisbon Cathedral and the majestic Praça do Comércio by the Tagus. Along the way, we dive into the soul of the city, between alleys, historic façades, and stunning viewpoints. No need for seat belts—just lace up your sneakers and get ready to enjoy Portugal’s capital, ending with an unforgettable view from the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint.
