Additional Information

Amble down the petite lanes frequently referred to as the city’s internal hamlet. Alfama is among the limited districts of Lisbon that survived the 1755 earthquake. Beautified with gorgeous ‘azulejos’, the twisting steep lanes of this vicinity unveil stunning vistas of terracotta rooftop seascape and the Tagus River. The scents of traditional Portuguese dishes, the reverberations of Fado music, and the cheerful gossip of elderly locals render this neighborhood undoubtedly one of Lisbon’s most genuine.

We will visit Lisbon’s most iconic spots, like Rossio Square, Dona Maria II Theatre, Sao Domingo’s Church, Figueira Square, Sao Jorge Castle, Portas do Sol viewpoint and Sé Cathedral.

Location
Praça Dom Pedro IV
MEETING POINT is at Praça D. Pedro IV (Rossio), find our yellow t-shirt team with yellow umbrellas near the statue, right in the middle.

Walking in Lisbon - We weren't planning on doing a walking tour but boy glad we did. Guilherme was terrific and took us to parts of the City we would never explored on our own. He was knowledgeable with information and patient in answering questions. Took us to the best pasta de nata in town. The tour gave me a better appreciation and understanding of the city. Please book with Guilherme for your walking tour. You won't be disappointed.
