This is an example itinerary. After booking, your host will reach out with a short questionnaire to create your unique itinerary. Here’s a taste of what awaits:
Start your adventure at the stunning Praça do Comércio, Lisbon’s grand waterfront square. Here, your host will introduce you to Lisbon’s culinary history as you sip a bica (Portuguese espresso) or nibble on a sweet from a nearby pastelaria. Stroll down Rua Augusta, Lisbon’s bustling pedestrian avenue, and hear stories of the city's iconic cafés and their role in Portuguese food culture.
Delve into Alfama’s labyrinth of narrow streets, stopping at a traditional tasca on Largo de São Miguel for pastel de bacalhau (codfish cakes) and regional cheeses. Wander along Rua dos Remédios to explore authentic eateries and listen as your host shares stories of Alfama’s deep culinary roots and fado heritage.
Finish your tour at Lisbon’s highest viewpoint, Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.

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.
