Overview

Join us for an unforgettable 5-hour tour of Lisbon. Experience stunning views from the city known as the "City of Seven Hills." We will drive through the narrow streets of historic neighborhoods, including Baixa, Bairro Alto, and Alfama, making stops at the best viewpoints along the way. Travel back to the 16th century in Belem, where you'll learn about the adventurous journeys of the brave Portuguese navigators who explored the world. Don't miss the opportunity to taste the famous Pastéis de Belém—the original custard tart recipe known only to six people, created in a historic bakery dating back to 1837. And you will cross the 25th of April Bridge, often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge, and take in breathtaking views of Lisbon from the Christ the King Statue, a replica of the one in Rio de Janeiro.

Itinerary

1. Largo do Carmo
Largo do Carmo is one of the most beautiful squares in Lisbon. Here, you can learn about the 1755 earthquake, as the Carmo Church has remained a ruin since that time. You can also explore the aqueduct system, as well as the many fountains and galleries throughout the city. Additionally, this square is significant for the 1974 democratic revolution, where the last Portuguese dictator was arrested. Don’t miss the chance to visit the neo-gothic Elevador de Santa Justa, built in 1902, and enjoy the stunning views it offers.
Duration: 25 mins
2. Elevador de Santa Justa
The neo-Gothic Santa Justa Elevator is the most popular viewpoint in downtown Lisbon. It is the only vertical street lift in the city, built in 1902. Designed by Raul Mésnier, an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel, it showcases stunning architecture.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Chiado
The Chiado district is the most popular and expensive area in old town Lisbon. Here, you can find not only nice viewpoints, but also old cafés, bookstores, boutiques, grand theaters, and much more.
4. Baixa de Lisboa
The Baixa district was completely destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. It was then rebuilt in a grid layout featuring beautiful squares by the Marquis of Pombal, who was the prime minister at the time. Today, Baixa serves as the commercial center of the city and is the only flat district in Lisbon's old town.
5. Alfama
Alfama is the soul of Lisbon, the oldest neighborhood, a magical place filled with narrow streets, hidden courtyards, pitched rooftops, and labyrinthine alleyways.
6. Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte
This lookout point is the perfect place to relax and take in one of the best panoramic views of Lisbon. From here, you can see Sao Jorge Castle, the Tagus River, and charming neighborhoods such as Mouraria, Baixa, and Chiado, among others.
Duration: 20 mins
7. Ponte 25 de Abril
You will cross the April 25th Bridge, which resembles the Golden Gate Bridge. This large and scenic suspension bridge connects the northern and southern sides of Lisbon. It was renamed in honor of the day of the revolution—April 25th—which brought an end to the Salazar dictatorship in 1974.
8. Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei
The site of the Christ the King Statue (Cristo Rei) offers the best viewpoint of Lisbon. From here, you can enjoy stunning views of the city and the Tagus River. Inspired by the statue in Brazil, this monument was erected in 1959 to express gratitude to God for sparing Portugal from the horrors of World War II. There is an entrance fee to go up to the statue, but the view from the bottom is quite similar.
Duration: 30 mins
9. Pastéis de Belém
It’s not possible to visit Lisbon without tasting one of the best-kept secrets of Portuguese pastries: the Pasteis de Belem. This delightful treat originated in a small bakery in 1837, and you'll have the opportunity to try one, as it’s included in the price of your visit. We will also share with you the local ritual for enjoying these delicious pastries.
Duration: 30 mins
10. Jeronimos Monastery
The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos is the most famous monument in Portugal. It serves as a tribute from King Manuel to the great explorers of the 15th century, including Vasco da Gama, who discovered a sea route to India in 1498. During your visit, you will learn about the Portuguese maritime discoveries and have the opportunity to see the church where Vasco da Gama is buried. Please note that while you'll be visiting the church, you won't be going inside the monastery.
Duration: 30 mins
11. Torre de Belem
The Torre de Belém (Belem Tower) is a 500-year-old fortification located on a small island in the Tagus River. It was built as part of a defense system at the river's mouth and served as a ceremonial gateway into Lisbon. The tower is classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Please note that you will not be allowed to enter the monument.
Duration: 15 mins
12. Padrao Dos Descobrimentos
The Padrao dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoverers) was constructed to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Henry the Navigator's death. It features representations of all the significant figures who contributed to Portugal's major achievements during the Age of Exploration, including Vasco da Gama, Bartolomeu Dias, Pedro Alvares Cabral, Ferdinand Magellan, and others.
