Highlights
Looking for a fresh approach to the Portuguese capital, preferably somewhere between grass-roots culture, street vibes and contemporary rites? if so this tour is tailor-made for you.
First we wander around a string of amazing hilltop terraces over the city and the river, before we dive into the picturesque neighborhoods of the Castle hill. We visit monuments like the Roman Theater and The Sé Cathedral, but also quiet backstreets, remote courtyards and puzzling alleyways. Finally we get to the monumental riverside and explore Renaissance Palaces, late Gothic Churches and the majestic Commercial Square, open to the Ocean and the World.
Itinerary
Miradouro das Portas do Sol
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe story of Lisbon is inseparable from the river, that large gateway to the Atlantic ocean. This square is a perfect starting point to explore the city as it offers sweeping views over the Castle Hill and the Old Town framed by the broad mouth of the Tagus river.Miradouro de Santa Luzia
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe happy coexistence of exquisite ceramic tiles (azulejos) from different ages and styles in the two platforms of this balcony is a very good metaphor of Lisbon (mixed) identity.Igreja de Santiago
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAdmire the Baroque St James church, where the Portuguese "Camino" to the holy city of Compostela stars, but explore also quaint Largo do Contador, with residential houses prior to the 1755 tsunamiBeco do Recolhimento

20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeFirst and only remaining Romanesque monument in town, the Lisbon Cathedral is half a church, half a fortress. Some say it's almost a new medieval cathedral, as it was radically rebuilt in the 30's of the 20th century.Church of St. Anthony
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeTradition says this church was built on top of the room where Saint Anthony was born. That room is now the crypt of the church (rebuilt after the 1755 tsunami), one of the most popular in Lisbon. But is St. Anthony or St. Vincent the Lisbon favorite saint?Lapides das Pedras Negras
