WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Chiado
It is the heart of the city. The must-see neighborhood where centuries-old shops live alongside trendy brands, signature restaurants and places to see and be seen with lots of live music and entertainment.
2. Lisbon Cathedral
Classified as a National Monument, it is also known as St. Mary Major's Church. Built after the reconquest of the city from the Moors in 1147, it was built over an old Muslim mosque, having adopted a scheme similar to that of the Cathedral of Coimbra, with 3 naves, triforium over the side naves, protruding transept and tripartite headboard.
3. Miradouro das Portas do Sol
From the viewpoint of Portas do Sol, we can see the Church of São Vicente de Fora and the whole typical Alfama neighborhood that stretches through several narrow winding streets to the Tagus River. It is a balcony-like space with a magnificent view of the city of Lisbon, in its eastern area blends perfectly with the view of the Tagus River.
4. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
It was once one of the biggest secrets in the city, but it has been discovered by tour guides and dating couples. It offers a panoramic view of Lisbon, which is also observed by a small image of the Virgin that gives the name to the viewpoint. Behind the image is a small 18th century chapel, which is almost always closed. An ancient legend has it that pregnant women sitting in the stone chair inside would have facilitated childbirth. This is one of the highest points in the city, so you can see several monuments, identified on a tile panel.
5. Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora
210/5000 Considered one of Lisbon's most impressive buildings, the São Vicente de Fora Church stands as an emblematic image of Philip I's architectural patronage, after having risen to the Portuguese throne.
6. Panteao Nacional
The National Pantheon, located in the historic area of Santa Clara, occupies the building originally intended for the church of Santa Engrácia, hosting the tombs of large figures of Portuguese history. Founded in the second half of the 16th century, the building was completely rebuilt in the late 1600s by architect João Antunes; although never open to worship, it retains, under the modern dome, the majestic space of the nave, animated by the decoration of colorful marbles, characteristic of Portuguese Baroque architecture. A reference element in the city's profile and offering privileged views of the city's historic area and the Tagus River, it is classified as a National Monument. In its vicinity is held weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, the traditional Flea Market.

Marcos was a great guide! He told us a lot of history about Lisbon and Portugal. We were with him for 4 hours and we wanted to have more time but due to our commitments we couldn't. I recommend you take a tour with him, he is very informative and gives tips on places and restaurants. Very good!!!

What a fun way to have a quick introduction to great view points and highlights of old Lisbon. Keeping us dry while it was raining. Delziana was so informative and helpful, and important for us a safe driver, could not have asked for a better experience.

I had an overnight layover in Lisbon on my way back to the U.S. from Angola. Rather than sit in the hotel, I went on a night tour with Yuri—he showed me all the highlights (in two hours!) and took time to explain art and other things that were of interest to me. TukTuk was in great condition and very clean. Would recommend booking with this company.
