The Largo do Carmo is one of the most beautiful squares in Lisbon. We'll learn a lot about the 1755 earthquake (the Carmo church is since that time a ruin), about the aqueduct system and all the fountains and galleries we have in Lisbon or about the 1974 democratic revolution (the last Portuguese dictator was arrested here). We’ll have the opportunity to visit the Neo-gothic Elevador de Santa Justa (built in 1902) and to enjoy beautiful views.


Largo do Carmo

The Chiado district is the most popular and expensive area in the old town of Lisbon. Here you can find, not only nice viewpoints but also old cafes and bookstores, boutiques, grand theaters, etc.

The Baixa district was totally destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. This area was rebuilt as a grid with beautiful squares by the Marquis of Pombal (the prime minister of the king at the time). It’s the commercial heart of the city and the only flat district in the old town of Lisbon.

Baixa district

Alfama district is the Lisbon soul, the oldest neighborhood, a magical place with narrow streets, hidden courtyards, pitched rooftops and labyrinthine alleyways.

Miradouro da Senhora do Monte

We'll cross the April 25th bridge (lookalike the Golden Gate Bridge), a giant and scenic suspension bridge that connects the north and south side of Lisbon. It was renamed after the revolution day (April 25th) that finished the Salazar dictatorship in 1974.

The site where’s Christ the King Statue (Cristo Rei) was built is the best viewpoint over Lisbon. From here, we will have a gorgeous view of the city and the Tagus River. This statue, inspired on the Brazilian one, was erected in 1959 to thank God for sparing Portugal from the horrors of WWII. We won’t go up (there’s a fee to go up, but the view is pretty much the same from the bottom).

Christ the King Statue

The most comprehensive 5 hour tour of Lisboa sites and neighborhoods. Carolina provided historical and social background of all areas and frequently added stories as she is from Lisboa. Great driving and conversing while getting from stop to stop. Open to all questions. Great bringing all 8 guests into the adventure. Allowed us to see the big Lisboa picture so we could plan the next few days itineraries. Carolina is at the top of the list for our private or group tours over 30 years of international travel!

Wonderful day! We were the only two people on the tour (it was the off season and early in the week). Carolina was such a nice, fun person. We learned so much, and laughed all day long. Definitely a highlight of the trip!

Our 1/2 day tour started with a pick up direct from our hotel - a definite plus. Our driver/guide, Ricardo, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his city and its history and spoke excellent English.

The pace of the tour was a little slow at times, and this was subsequently explained by the fact that the tour duration was planned to be 6 hours rather than the four advertised. Ordinarily, this would have been a bonus, but we had to leave by 2pm and as a result, ended up taxiing back to collect our car. Definitely worth checking the plans early in the tour!

Our fellow travellers also sat out some of the walking elements of which there were more than expected.

We highly recommend this tour as a first orientation of the city - it takes in all the main areas and viewing points. Just ensure that the timings are as advertised early in the programme.
