Overview
The Old Town Tour will take you on a journey through the history of Lisbon, from its origins to its development over time, and the various peoples who inhabited it.
On this tour, you will visit the oldest cathedral in Lisbon, the Sé Cathedral, which boasts stunning Gothic architecture. You will also take in the amazing views across the city from the Nossa Sr.ª do Monte viewpoint and see the imposing National Pantheon against the blue Lisbon sky. You will also explore Alfama, the oldest neighbourhood, which has retained its original architecture and picturesque streets. It was the only area not to be destroyed by the earthquake of 1755, thanks to the castle wall near the Portas do Sol viewpoint.
If your tour is on a Thursday or Saturday, we can visit the flea market, where you might find an unusual souvenir!
