Description:

Follow your guide through Lisbon's cobblestone streets, enjoy a ride on the famous tram 28, and ascend to the top of Santa Justa's lift for panoramic views.. Your 3-hour walking tour takes you to the best sites in the city and ends with insider tips on what else to do in town.

Meet your guide at Comércio Square and start your journey to explore Lisbon's hidden secrets. Ride tram 28, an old-fashioned trolley that crisscrosses the city's colorful neighborhoods. Admire charming churches along the way and listen as your guide shares the history and culture of each place you pass. Get off at Portas do Sol—the name means “doors of the sun”—and pause for a fantastic photo opportunity overlooking the Alfama district.

Next, explore Alfama and its charming maze of narrow streets. Hear about the history and culture of Fado, a Portuguese music genre, and explore the lively district of Bairro Alto, known for its trendy bars and nightclubs. Pass by the city’s first bohemian street, and learn about the influence of this eclectic culture.

Continue to Baixa, and wander the new city, built after the great earthquake of 1755. Pass by Rossio Square, the heart of downtown, and then by Chiado, the most elegant shopping area in the city. Step inside Igreja de São Roque church and admire its impressive Baroque style before ending with 360-degree views over the city from atop the Santa Justa Lift.
