During this private Tour, you will discover Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, the city built on seven hills, located near the meeting point of the Tagus River with the ocean. It is the only European capital with sunsets on the sea, so close to golden beaches, with a captivating mild climate even in winter, when most other European cities are freezing. A charming and friendly city, with cosmopolitan population, World Heritage monuments, impressive museums. Here every corner breathes History, Culture and Art.
Our private driver/guide will pick you up at your Hotel and will lead you through a memorable and exclusive city tour. You can schedule your departure and this tour is completely adjustable to your desires. We start in the charming Baixa Pombalina area, named after the building carried out by the Marquês de Pombal in the aftermath of the 1755 earthquake. Here we will see the monumental Praça do Comércio, located next to the River Tagus, the Rossio, Cais do Sodré and the Chiado.
We then head to Alfama, one of the capital's most typical neighborhoods, where Fado echoes around every corner.
We continue through the bohemian Bairro Alto and the modern Parque das Nações and finish in the emblematic area of Belém, where the monuments that mark the golden age of the Portuguese Discoveries stand: the Jerónimos Monastery, a magnificent example of Manueline art in Portugal, and the Belém Tower, symbolically erected on the former starting point of ships and caravels for the discovery of the Oceans.
At the end of the tour, you can try (optional) a tasty “Pastel de Belém” (portuguese traditional custard tart pastry), one of the most popular specialties of Portuguese sweets.
Drop-off at your Hotel. End of our services.
