Lisbon: sunlit hills, tiled stories and riverside reveries
Lisbon bathes seven hills in golden light, tram bells echo through azulejo-lined streets, and the Tagus keeps every lookout refreshed with Atlantic breezes. The city rewards curious travelers with fado-soaked alleys in Alfama, bookish cafés in Chiado and maritime promenades in Belém that reveal centuries of exploration. Reserve your GuruWalk to match that atmosphere with a passionate local who turns each viewpoint, tasting and tale into part of your own itinerary.

Secrets that only walkers know
- Arrive hungry for the evening gastronomy walks - the final stop usually lands in a buzzing nightlife zone so you can keep listening to live music after the tour ends.
- Ask for extra tips once the walk wraps up; gurus happily map out additional miradouros, cafés and day trips tailored to your plans.
- Pair a classic city-center circuit with a themed option in Belém or the street-art corridors to collect different perspectives without repeating routes.
- Reach the statues or umbrella meeting points a few minutes early - guides often wait for latecomers, and you can use the spare time for those first skyline photos.
