Lisbon rewards the curious. The most visited neighborhoods in the city still hide things that can take you centuries to find. A bookshop that has been open since 1732, a coffee house that changed how Portugal drinks, a restaurant built into the vaults beneath a church that few know is there.
This small group walking tour moves through Bairro Alto, Chiado, and Baixa, the historic heart of the city, taking in the landmarks and the stories while stopping to eat the food that has defined this place for generations.
Sardines grilled to order by the man who has run the same Bairro Alto shop for years. Piri piri chicken at a restaurant rooted in the cuisine of São Tomé and Príncipe, a reminder that Lisbon's food has always been shaped by the world it reached. Caldo verde and bifana in a vaulted space beneath a Chiado church. A custard tart at the end, from the place that has been voted the best in the city more times than anyone is counting.
