Welcome to Lisbon: Chiado, Baixa & Alfama Private Walking Tour
Overview
Dating back to 1200 BC, Lisbon has always been one of Europe’s key seaports, a powerhouse to rival London, Paris and Rome. Home to winding cobbled streets, wide piazzas, UNESCO treasures and vibrant yellow trams, this half-day tour will give you a flavour of Lisbon’s past, visiting some of its most iconic historical and cultural sights.
Your private tour begins at Largo do Chiado, where you will journey back to the Middle Ages to uncover the city’s Jewish and Moorish heritage.
In Baixa, Lisbon’s downtown, commercial centre, see how the ruined district was revived by the Marquis of Pombal, who designed a revolutionary new grid pattern for Lisbon.
The tour ends with a walk around the Alfama district, once a poor area set outside the city walls but now a popular arty district with labyrinthine streets. If you’re looking for a quick, informative introduction to Portugal’s multicultural capital, then this express tour is the perfect option!
