Discover the true city of light, Portugal’s capital: Lisbon, magnificent and unrivaled. Learn about the enigmas that surround one of the most ancient cities in the Old Continent. Founded by the Phoenicians, its merchant nature enabled this city, located in the western Iberian Peninsula, to become the richest in the world during the 16th Century.
Stroll down the magical streets full of trams, and contemplate the majestic temples that are found throughout the city, such as the Santo Domingo Chruch, which was burnt to the ground and is now believed to be cursed as a result of the tragic massacre suffered by the Hebrew people during the Inquisition.
Contemplate the Carmo Convent, where you’ll witness the devastating effects of the biggest natural disaster Portugal has suffered throughout its history - the famous earthquake of 1755, as you take a look at its ruins. You’ll also explore the city’s bustling streets and learn about its reconstruction by the Marquis of Pombal.
You will also take a dive into the tortuous 20th Century, a period in which Lisbon became a spy breeding ground during World War II due to its neutral position. You will also discover the country’s most crucial historical event, the Carnation Revolution, which ended Salazar’s dictatorship and instilled contemporary democracy.
On our Historical Center Tour of Lisbon, you’ll receive the key to discovering the capital’s essence – a city that, like the mythical phoenix, reached its peak during the Imperial Era, fell to disgrace after the famous earthquake in 1755, and then brilliantly resurrected from its ashes to become the fascinating and limitless metropolis that we all know and love.
At Figueira Square by King John I Statue. We will be holding a red strawberry umbrella.
