Highlights
Enjoy a gorgeous and informative 3-hour private walking tour along the Lisbon waterfront. Get personal attention from the guide as you walk past notable landmarks including the Royal Palace and the Docklands. Learn about Portugal’s rich history of exploration as well as the fascist exhibition of 1940. The tour begins in the Royal Square and the shipyards of the Portuguese Maritime Expansion, the heart of the first Global City. IA little further west, the sea stations of Rocha do Conde de Óbidos and Alcântara evoke a handful of mixed memories, between the fortune of the Age of Discoveries and the sadness of refugees returning from the Colonial War. Finally, it is the operations of the Millennium Urban Renewal that occupy the central stage with design museums, chic outdoor restaurants and extravagant nightclubs defining the new Lisbon by the river.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
