Private Tour to Cosmopolitan Lisbon Past and Present
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city in Portugal. Like Rome, Lisbon is based on 7 hills: Sant'Ana, Santa Catarina, Castelo, Chagas, São Roque, São Vicente and Santo André. Its people, gastronomy, climate, typical neighborhoods and the constant presence of the Tagus River are some of its more desirable attributes.
You will visit the most important sights in Lisbon. Your Guide will make some stops with the vehicle inviting you to make short walking routes together, where you will stroll through the streets of some of the historic districts.
We invite you to join us in this experience of History, Light, Colors and Flavors as a Portuguese poet once wrote: “We will now invite the tourist to come with us. We will serve as cicerone and we will stroll through the capital, showing him the monuments, the gardens, the most notable buildings, the museums - everything that is in any way worthy of being seen in this wonderful Lisbon.” Fernando Pessoa, Lisbon: What the Tourist Should See

Parque Eduardo VII
Start your Sightseeing-Day at the most monumental viewpoint in Lisbon at the top of Parque Eduardo VII. We can say that this is Lisbon's balcony! From here you can see the hills of "The city of the 7 hills" as Lisbon is also known. Look to your left and notice that on top of one of the hills lies the imposing São Jorge Castle. Ahead of you is the beautiful Parque Eduardo VII, but the best is yet to come, look ahead and contemplate the imposing statue of Marques de Pombal, Liberdade Avenue and, further on, the Tagus River. On good days you can see on the other side of the river - on the south coast, the Arrabida Mountains. It is also here that you can find the monument that pays tribute to the 25th of April, the Carnation Revolution - which took place on the 25th of April 1974 - and a huge national flag with 240 square meters hoisted 35-meter mast.
Marques Do Pombal
Located next to the Parque Eduardo VII and in front of Liberdade Avenue, Marquês de Pombal Square is one of the most notable and historic squares in Lisbon. As if it is the heart of Lisbon, this is where demonstrations against or in favor of the government converge and celebrations of great victories, whether in politics or sports, especially in football. In the center of the square there is a monument built in honor of the politician Sebastião José de Carvalho Melo, the Marquês de Pombal, a statesman who had a fundamental role in the reconstruction of Lisbon after the Great Earthquake of 1755. The statue is full of symbology such as the Lion that is next to the figure of Marquês de Pombal that represents strength, determination, and Royalty, the Minerva Statue that represents the remodeling of university education, the Bow of a Ship that represents the renovation of the Merchant Navy, the female figure looking at Liberdade Avenue that represents Reconstructed Lisbon.
