Overview

Uncover Lisbon on a two-hour walking tour through four neighbourhoods: Bairro Alto, Carmo, Chiado, and Cais do Sodré.

You’ll see Lisbon chronologically, from the empire, the devastating 1755 earthquake, and the revolution, to the vibrant city locals love today.

Begin at the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint, then step inside the Igreja de São Roque, one of the few buildings to survive the earthquake. Stand in the square where Europe’s longest dictatorship ended, take in stunning views from the Carmo rooftop, and see the iconic Santa Justa Lift before heading to Chiado.

Visit the world’s oldest operating bookshop, and stop by A Brasileira, the café once frequented by poet Fernando Pessoa, then hear stories of Portuguese exploration, poetry, and empire at Praça de Camões.

End in Cais do Sodré, stroll Pink Street, and enjoy a freshly baked pastel de nata at Time Out Market. Four neighbourhoods. Ten stops. One unforgettable story of Lisbon in just two hours. Are you ready?

    Sweep your gaze across Lisbon's seven hills, São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River from one of the city's finest panoramic viewpoints to kick off the tour.
  2. Igreja de Sao Roque
    12m
    Step inside the sole survivor of the 1755 earthquake, the richest Jesuit church in Portugal, adorned with Brazilian gold and Italian marble despite its unassuming façade. On Mondays it is closed, so we can only view it from the outside.
  3. Largo do Carmo
    12m
    Stand on the ruins where Europe's longest dictatorship ended peacefully in 1974 at the Carmo Convent, then climb to the Carmo rooftop for spectacular views over the city. We do not enter the church, we simply view it from the outside.
  4. Elevador de Santa Justa
    12m
    Admire the iconic iron lift inspired by the world of Gustave Eiffel and hear the surprising story behind its celebrated design.
  5. 12m
    Browse the shelves of the world's oldest operating bookshop, open since 1732 and recognised by Guinness World Records.
  6. 12m
    Discover Lisbon's literary soul at the café where poet Fernando Pessoa spent more time than any other patron, a living monument to the city's cultural heritage.
  7. Praca Luis de Camoes
    12m
    Hear stories of Portuguese exploration, poetry, and empire in the square named after Portugal's greatest poet.
  8. 12m
    Stroll the vivid Pink Street, once the city's red light district, now one of its most photographed and lively nightlife destinations.
  9. Time Out Market Lisboa
    12m
    Explore the dual character of Mercado da Ribeira: a 19th century traditional market on one side and the world-class Time Out Market food hall on the other.
  10. 12m
    Savour a freshly baked pastel de nata from one of Lisbon's most beloved bakeries, the perfect sweet finale to your walk through the city.
