About this activity

Explore the history and traditions of Lisbon, visiting the monuments that pay tribute to the golden era of Portuguese discoveries on a 4-hour tour of the city.

Begin with a visit to the Belém quarter where you will find the most beautiful and historical monuments from the 15th and 16th centuries. A brief stop at the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) - World Heritage by UNESCO - point of departure of some of the Portuguese maritime explorations; and on the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos), built to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the "death" of Prince Henry the Navigator.

Then, visit the Church of S. Jerome Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) - World Heritage by UNESCO - a masterpiece of the "Manueline" style and the National Coach Museum (Museu Nacional dos Coches) with one of the most important collections of old carriages in the world. Along the river, you will arrive at Alfama, an old and traditional district, where you will have the opportunity to walk in its narrow streets and visit a handicraft shop where you'll taste an aperitif of Port wine.

Pass by the downtown (Baixa) to admire the most important squares of Lisbon such as the monumental Trade Square (Praça do Comércio); Rossio Square, the heart of Lisbon and the symbolic Restauradores Square. Drive along the Liberdade Avenue, the "boulevard" of Lisbon, to finish at Marquês de Pombal Square, admiring the statue of the 18th-century Portuguese statesman responsible for Lisbon reconstruction after one of the deadliest earthquakes in history, the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
