Full description

This guided walking tour links Lisbon's older districts, churches and hilltop viewpoints, with Bairro Alto and Alfama at its core and a tram journey connecting part of the route. The guide ties the 1755 earthquake and later political change to the streets and buildings around you, rather than reciting dates in isolation.

A coffee and cake stop breaks up the walk. Reviewers describe a relaxed pace and explanations adapted to what each group already knows, making it a good early orientation to the city.
