Highlights
- Alfama - Lisbon’s oldest and most charming neighborhood, often regarded as the historic heart of the city. Its steep, cobblestoned streets remain as they were in medieval times. Alfama is famous for its fado houses and the grand celebrations in honor of “Santo António” (St. Anthony) in June, drawing thousands to its streets. This area survived the devastating earthquake of 1755, helping preserve its authenticity. The neighborhood retains a Moorish feel with its narrow alleys, staircases, and laundry hanging from windows.
- Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - Offers a stunning view over the city.
- Graça - Situated on the highest of Lisbon’s seven hills, Graça is adjacent to the iconic São Jorge Castle. It is renowned for its two beautiful viewpoints: Senhora do Monte and Graça belvederes, the latter also known as the Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen viewpoint. In the 20th century, Graça became a residential area for factory workers, characterized by courtyards, traditional taverns, grocery stores, popular festivities, and the establishment of the first public school (Voz do Operário) and the iconic 28 tram.
- Panteao Nacional - The favored stop is the National Pantheon, also known as St. Engratia Church. This majestic baroque monument, which took three centuries to complete (1682-1966), is the final resting place for many of the country’s most significant cultural and political figures.
- Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - The largest square in Europe.

Fun couple of hours! - Antonio was a fabulous guide-- he shared lots of really cool tidbits about Lisbon and made it exciting with his super fun playlist of songs from Fado to thematic tunes. We had two teenagers with us and they both agreed it was a fun way to see Lisbon and spend a couple of hours. It was just the right amount of history and fun facts without overloading or becoming too boring. I highly recommend Antonio!
