Highlights
  • Lisbon Cathedral - The imposing Se Cathedral is Lisbon’s most iconic religious building. Since the 12th century the Se Cathedral has been entwined in Portugal’s early history and was the first religious building constructed by the 12th century Christian Crusaders.

  • Mosteiro de Sao Vicente de Fora - First founded in the 12th century by King Afonso Henriques, was dedicated to the patron saint of Lisbon, Saint Vincent of Saragossa. Although it was badly damaged during 1755 earthquake, the present building dates from the 16th century.

  • Panteao Nacional - Construction started in 1628 and was only completed in the 20th century, so that Obras de Santa Engracia (literally The works of Saint Engracia’s) has become a Portuguese synonym for an endless construction project.

  • Miradouro das Portas do Sol - One memorable viewpoint with a breathtaking view overlooking the Alfama rooftops and the Tagus River, at a short distance from Saint Jorge Castle, Portas do Sol is the place where you can truly behold and appreciate Lisbon.

  • Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - The Senhora do Monte viewpoint, located in the Graa neighbourhood, it offers a unique panoramic and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views of Lisbon, especially for being one of the highest points of the city.

  • Mon Ami Tours - More than a host, MON AMI is your friend in Lisbon.

Additional Information

This is the origin of it all. Explore the city’s heart, tucked in Lisbon’s oldest hill. It’s a place renowned for its Fado music and quaint pubs that retain their originality and ancestral roots. From the districts of Graça and Alfama, to Mouraria up to the São Jorge Castle, you might be fortunate to stumble upon a street barbecue serving sardines. We disembark in Alfama, stroll its rhythm-filled district, and indulge in its nostalgic ambience. You’ll witness Roman ruins, ancient houses that stood up to the 1755 earthquake, the grand Lisbon Cathedral, piazzas bustling with street cafes, and narrow streets reminiscent of Arabian cities – evidence of Lisbon’s diverse past is etched here. The stunning city views from its numerous scenic vantage points are an assured experience.

Best way to see the city and learn about Lisbon - We booked our tour through our hotel and it was perfect. We chose the 2 hour tour which was enough time to see all of the highlights. Federico was our guide and knew everything about the city. After picking us up at our hotel we strolled through the streets learning about Lisbon history. We stopped at many touristy spots yet he also brought us to places off the beaten path which we never would have seen without the tour.
