Explore the most charming European capital: discover the heart of the Portuguese Lisbon. 

The tour will start at the gorgeous Praça do Comércio, a true postcard of Lisbon, and learn about the history and ideias behind it. Then we will head to Alfama, the old neighbourhood where fado was born, and stroll through its narrow coblestone streets to discover some of its gems like Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol, the Old Cathedral and the Church of Santo António (named after the most famous portuguese Saint, who was born next door). 

And there is much more to visit: We will make a full-on assault to to the Castle of São Jorge, a thousand year-old military structure that went from being a muslim fortification to the seat of power of the Kingdom of Portugal. Time to walk on the ancient walkways of the castle, and enjoy some of the best views of Lisbon. 

Descending back to Baixa area, we will explore some of the most beutiful plazas in Lisbon (Praça da Figueira and Praça do Rossio), the National Theater and have a taste a traditional “Ginjinha” (sour cherry liquer). We will visit “doomsday” São Domingos Church and learn about a secret that it keeps- and that the flames that consumed the church were not able to erase. We will go up to Carmo area, where modern-day democratic  Portugal was born half a century ago. 

In Chiado we will visit the oldest bookstore in the world, enter the beautiful Basílica de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, and fill you in about the standing and role of this area of Lisbon in Portuguese culture.

In the afternoon, we will go to Belém, where you can find the imperial side of the city in impressive monuments such as the Discoveries Monument, a homage to the great men that led the discoveries era, the Belém Tower, a magnificent fortification to made to protect Lisbon, and Jerónimos Monastery, an architecture gem in the Manueline style. This is where Luís Vaz de Camões, Vasco da Gama and Fernando Pessoa were laid to rest.

We will not wrap up before having a pastel de nata, right where they originated from, and where they are still the very best: Pastéis de Belém.
