Looking for a fresh approach to the Portuguese capital, preferably somewhere between grass-roots culture, street vibes and contemporary rites? if so this tour is tailor-made for you. First we wander around a string of amazing hilltop terraces over the city and the river, before we dive into the picturesque neighborhoods of the Castle hill. We visit monuments like the Roman Theater and The Sé Cathedral, but also quiet backstreets, remote courtyards and puzzling alleyways. Finally we get to the monumental riverside and explore Renaissance Palaces, late Gothic Churches and the majestic Commercial Square, open to the Ocean and the World.
4 hr old town walking tour
The story of Lisbon is inseparable from the river, that large gateway to the Atlantic ocean. This square is a perfect starting point to explore the city as it offers sweeping views over the Castle Hill and the Old Town framed by the broad mouth of the Tagus river.
The happy coexistence of exquisite ceramic tiles (azulejos) from different ages and styles in the two platforms of this balcony is a very good metaphor of Lisbon (mixed) identity.
Admire the Baroque St James church, where the Portuguese "Camino" to the holy city of Compostela stars, but explore also quaint Largo do Contador, with residential houses prior to the 1755 tsunami
