Highlights
  • Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - We will start our tour in order to introduce the geography of the city and for a dazzling view of Lisbon.
  • São Vicente de Fora - A visit to São Vicente de Fora is a must during your stay in Lisbon. Besides having one of the most important churches in the city, the artworks inside are unique.
  • Panteão Nacional - The National Pantheon, housing the tombs of Portugal’s major historic celebrities, is located on the original site of the church of Santa Engrácia. Founded in the second half of the 16th century, the building was totally rebuilt at the end of the 17th century by the architect João Antunes. Even though it was never used as a place of worship, it still preserves, under its modern dome, a majestic nave with a polychrome marble decoration typical of the Portuguese Baroque architecture. Being an icon of Lisbon’s cityscape and having a privileged location, as it overlooks the city’s historic centre and the river Tagus, it is listed as a National Monument.
  • Alfama - Quick walking tour passing by one of the most famous neighborhoods of Lisbon: Alfama
    Alfama is an old, gentle and humble fishing suburb in Lisbon. Located at the foot of São Jorge Castle, between the hill and the ocean, this neighbourhood holds the essence of the city. An area full of aromas and mixed emotions, where Fado was created in the 1820s. If you are not familiar with Fado, it’s the best-known genre of Portuguese music, very melancholic and often about the sea.
  • Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - One of Lisbon’s iconic squares that you must see. This famous square is ready to welcome you with various attractions and a nobility that is clear to see.
  • Arco do Triunfo - This triumphal arch in Rua Augusta has always impressed those roaming Lisbon’s busiest pedestrianised street.

But now you can visit the top of this unique structure for a truly singular and impressive view of Baixa and the river. It symbolises the rebirth of a new Lisbon after the tragedy of the earthquake, fire and tsunami in 1755 that razed what stood before.

  • Rossio Square - Rossio Square is the popular name of the Pedro IV Square (Portuguese: Praça de D. Pedro IV) in the city of Lisboa. It is located in the Pombaline Downtown of Lisbon and has been one of its main squares since the Middle Ages.
  • Church of Saint Dominic - Between Rossio and Praça da Figueira, discover one of Lisbon’s most emblematic churches which combines both beauty and a sinister past.
  • Torre de Belem - Picture moment in one of the 7 wonders of Portugal!
    This 16th-century UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site was once part of Lisbon’s extensive defense system, and the start and end point for Portuguese explorers.
  • Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - On the banks of the Tagus is an apogee of Manueline architecture.

In the spot where the Jerónimos Monastery stands today, next to the old Belém beach, was originally a small hermitage dedicated to Santa Maria that had been built by the Infante D. Henrique, in 1452. At the start of the 16th century King Manuel I’s intention to have a large monastery erected there was acknowledged by the Holy See, and which was donated to the Order of the Friars of St. Jerome. The epitome of Manueline architecture and intrinsically linked to the Discoveries, this monastery is the most remarkable Portuguese monastic ensemble of its time and one of the main European churches.

  • Bairro Alto - The Bairro Alto was born as a response to the social and economic transformation in Lisbon in the second half of the 15th century.[1] Commercial development caused the growth in the population, and an associated expansion of construction within the medieval walled city.[1] It was this phenomenon that resulted in the urbanization process of the Bairro Alto district, in two distinct phases.[1]
  • Padrao dos Descobrimentos - A stylised caravel seems to be setting out to sea, with Henry the Navigator in its prow. On the two lateral ramps ascending to the symbolic figure of the Prince are some of the significant characters of the Portuguese overseas expansion and cultural names from the age of the Discoveries, 32 in total, all portrayed with symbols that allude to their identity: navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonisers, missionaries, chroniclers and artists. You can´t miss it!
  • Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei - Special Extra*:
    The idea to build the Monument to Christ-King comes up in 1934, when the late Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, His Eminence Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira, is visiting Brazil. Traveling through Rio de Janeiro, he comes upon the impressing site of the Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Corcovado and immediately is born in his heart the desire to build something similar in front of Lisbon.

*The sanctuary does not belong to the Lisbon district, but being located just 20 minutes away, we believe that the view over the city will be worth it.

Enjoy the beautiful view from the Christ Sanctuary facing Lisbon! best way to finish your tour!

A very full day of Lisbon sights - Marilia was half an hour late, but she made up for it with quite a bit of extra time at the other end, which was fine with us! She was very willing to accommodate our interests, including finding a wonderful restaurant for an early afternoon lunch when we requested that. She was so charming, we asked her to join us for the meal, and it was wonderful food with a delightful server. Though she packed in at least a dozen stops, we never felt rushed, and in subsequent days, usually felt we had a good idea where things were. She also recommended other places to visit, both in Lisbon and in Cascais, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Great job!

Highly recommended! - They are exceptional! Each time, the service was punctual, comfortable, and organized. The arrangements were also flexible from the start: giving us options to personalize and adapt the agenda so we can spend more time in the places we really wanted to see. Our guide, Filipe, was a warm companion to our group. When we travel, the most important thing for us is to feel safe as we enjoy the best parts of what the country has to offer. The team did just that and left us eager to come back to Lisbon and visit other sites of Portugal.
