Tour description

Start your journey at Lisbon’s iconic Praça do Comércio, the city’s grand riverside square full of history and charm. From here, we wander through the winding streets of Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest and most atmospheric neighborhood.

As we explore its maze of narrow alleys, we’ll uncover traces of the city’s many layers — from hidden walls behind modern façades to ruins preserved beneath the surface. We’ll step into underground spaces under centuries-old churches and explore secret corners where unexpected discoveries await. Who knows what secrets lie behind doors we’ll open, what stories are hidden behind building façades, or what remnants of the past rest beneath our feet?

Along the way, you’ll encounter legends, stories, and mysteries that hint at Lisbon’s hidden past and the secrets it still holds.

This walk is not just about monuments, but about experiencing the true soul of Lisbon — a city full of surprises, history, mystery, and hidden corners around every street and alley.

We finish at the beautiful Miradouro da Graça, the perfect spot to take in the charm and timeless spirit of Lisbon.
