Tour Description
Discover the full diversity of Portugal's sunny capital in just one day! You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Lisbon and capture the best photos. Visit the most beautiful neighborhoods and districts of this city, which is over 2,000 years old. See the famous Christ Statue in Almada and our stunning "25 de Abril Bridge"! We’ll take you to the highest viewpoints in Lisbon. I’ll share tips on how to make the most of your time and tell you which yellow tram to take without the crowds and queues! I’ll help you get to know the city like the back of your hand—all in a new, quiet, eco-friendly Mercedes EQA 250+ electric car.
I’ll tell you about Lisbon and the history it holds, its famous landmarks, and unique traditions. Travelers will learn how Lisbon became the capital of Portugal (and whether Lisbon is truly the capital), which powerful empires left their mark on its architecture and culture, and how Lisbon became a melting pot of various cultures and nationalities.
This tour is perfect for first-time visitors to Lisbon. I’ll do my best to show you all the highlights and "transport you through time" to make your impressions of the sunny capital even more vivid!
I always recommend comfortable footwear for visiting Portugal since exploring the city often involves walking, especially on the Portuguese “calçada” tiles, which can (almost always) be very slippery! Also, depending on the weather, it’s good to have a light jacket or hoodie with you. As the evening approaches, the ocean breeze can become quite refreshing.
