Join us for a lively walk around the city’s diverse bairros and monuments where the smells, sights and sounds of everyday life can only be experienced on foot. Quaint alley ways and stairs reveal the layers of history that have transformed Lisbon over the ages. Our morning departure time makes the most of quiet views from beautiful terraces known as Miradouros.

View Gothic ruins, walk past towering Baroque churches, and local markets that give the city its unique character. With one of our personable guides you will discover the real Lisbon beyond the major tourist spots.

Few visitors are aware that the Dona Maria II theatre rests on the site of the former Inquisition palace, where trials based on cruel acts of faith and public executions took place for nearly 250 years. Outside the ruins of the roof-bare Carmel Church are clues to Portugal’s “Carnation Revolution,” and the great earthquake of 1755.

This is for those who want an insiders look at Lisbon, traversing the city like locals, aboard a historic elevador and walks through car free squares, breathtaking vistas, famous cafes and rich personalities that define the City of Explorers.

• Praca do Comercio: The epicenter of the worlds first global trade network
• Baixa- Pombalina Downtown: Europe's first earthquake proof neighborhood and birthplace of 18th century urban design
• Sao Dominigo's Square: Home to massacres, marriages and monarchs

• Elevador de Santa Justa: A Neo-Gothic tower of transport and beautiful views
• Carmo ruins: The roofless church that survived the great earthquake, and one of Portugal's most poetic buildings
• Bairro Alto: Where trendy, young and hip meets the old world. Sao Pedro de Alcantara Garden: The most scenic views from the west side Lisbon
• Praca Camoes: A tribute to the writer, fighter, womanizer, and all around scoundrel who created a literary masterpiece
