Description

Join us on a walking tour through Lisbon’s oldest and most iconic neighborhoods. We’ll begin near the river and slowly make our way uphill — through layers of history, stunning views, and charming alleyways. Our journey starts in the downtown area rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, where Iwe’ll introduce you to the city’s dramatic past. From there, we head toward the hills, following the path of the old Moorish and medieval walls, and stopping at three breathtaking viewpoints that offer unique perspectives over Lisbon’s rooftops, hills, and the Tagus River. Along the way, we’ll explore Alfama, the city’s oldest district, with its labyrinth of streets, traditional azulejos, Fado echoes, and vibrant community life.
