Description:

Discover the soul of Lisbon as you engage with the city's colorful history on a half-day private tour that combines walking and driving. See a grand cathedral, stroll through delightful piazzas, and explore 2 of the more famous outer districts as you glimpse the city's heritage.

The tree-lined boulevard of Avenida da Liberdade provides a fine introduction to the tour and takes you right into the heart of the old city. Here, the majestic sight of the striking Lisbon Cathedral greets you. Admire the ornate, Gothic architecture on its façade before continuing to the viewpoint of Graca, which boasts one the best views of the city and river.

Belem houses some of the city's most significant monuments, and it's here you understand more about the Age of Discovery. Visit Belem Tower and the Discoveries Monument as you learn more about a golden age in the country's history. The jewel in this crown, however, is the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a lavish, opulent exterior.

Having worked up an appetite it's time to try one of Belem's famous custard tarts. Then, a trip back to the city center takes you through the vibrant neighborhood of Bairro Alto, where you learn about its lively social scene. Wander through some of Lisbon's most charming squares and taste codfish cake with a glass of port, superbly rounding off your cultural and historical experience.
