Description
Join me in discovering the heart of Lisbon – from the lively Rossio Square, the city's vibrant center, to the elegant Baixa with its symmetrical streets and the magnificent Praça do Comércio, and on to the artistic Chiado, where poets and thinkers used to congregate. I will take you on a fascinating journey through time through the eventful history of the Portuguese capital: from the devastating earthquake of 1755, which almost completely destroyed the city, to the Enlightenment and the reconstruction under the Marquês de Pombal, and on to the modern Lisbon of today. Discover hidden corners off the beaten tourist track, hear fascinating anecdotes about kings, revolutionaries and ordinary people, and immerse yourself in the everyday life of the Lisboetas – all in German, with heart, humor and at your own pace.
