Product details
Discover the most traditional places in this Lisbon sightseeing tour
Lisbon’s lighting is unique, rain or shine. We want you to revel in it and to see it reflected in the places that make Lisbon the special city it is, filled with history and traditions. With the Tagus River as a backdrop for the tour, we’ll take you to the monuments that bear witness to our great voyage on seas which had never before been explored and where you can visit one of our most fascinating museums.
In addition to the bus tour, 2 digital walking tours are also included to get to know Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest and most traditional quarters, where Fado echoes around every corner, and Baixa-Chiado, the commercial heart of Lisbon.
A few hours to discover Lisbon, first of all we will visit the Belém quarter where you will find the most beautiful and historical monuments from the 15th and 16th centuries. A brief stop at the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) - World Heritage by UNESCO - , point of departure of some of the Portuguese maritime explorations; and on the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos) , built to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the “death of Prince Henry the Navigator.
Then we visit the church of S. Jerome Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) - World Heritage by UNESCO - a masterpiece of the “Manueline” style.
Along the river we arrive at Alfama, an old and traditional district, where we will have the opportunity to walk in its narrow streets, and visit an handicraft shop where we'll taste an aperitif of Port wine.
Then We will pass by the downtown (Baixa) to admire the most important squares of Lisbon such as the monumental Trade Square (Praça do Comércio); Rossio Square, the heart of Lisbon and the symbolic Restauradores Square.
Then we drive along the Liberdade Avenue, the “boulevard” of Lisbon, to finish at Marquês de Pombal Square, admiring the statue of the 18th-century portuguese statesman responsible for Lisbon reconstruction after one of the most deadliest earthquakes in History, the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
