Lisbon Tour: Historic Streets with Local Treats

You won't just listen, you'll also play. 

Your guide will lead you through riddles, observation games and hidden clues, turning every street corner into a puzzle and every landmark into part of the story. Look closer, think sharper, and see Alfama the way few visitors ever do.

Forget the traditional walking tour where you simply follow a guide from one monument to another. In Alfama, you become part of the story. Your adventure begins in the heart of Lisbon at Rossio Square. From there, your local guide will lead you through some of the city's most fascinating landmarks before taking you into the winding streets of Alfama. Along the way, you'll be given a series of fun challenges.

As you explore, your guide will bring Lisbon's history to life through fascinating stories about the city's past, its people, traditions and legends.

You'll visit the area around the Sé Cathedral, discover the story of Saint Anthony, explore the maze-like streets of Alfama and learn about the neighbourhood's connection to Fado and the Portuguese idea of saudade.

And because exploring Lisbon works up an appetite, you'll also enjoy a traditional Pastel de Nata included in your experience. For those who would like to try something a little stronger, there is also an optional stop for a Ginjinha, Lisbon's famous sour-cherry liqueur. Please note that the Ginjinha tasting is not included in the tour price.

Your adventure continues to the beautiful Miradouro de Santa Luzia, where you'll have a chance to take in the views and complete another observation challenge. Finally, you'll arrive at Miradouro das Portas do Sol, where everything you've discovered comes together for the final mystery.

*Payment has to be upfront (20 euros) before the tour starts.
