Lisbon Half Day

A private half-day introduction to Lisbon’s viewpoints, stories, and iconic neighborhoods.

A curated half-day through Lisbon's heart

Welcome to the capital! Home to great music and gastronomy and the birthplace of powerful kings and brilliant poets. Our tour of Lisbon begins with a short walk to Rossio Square, an emblematic area of the city. Here we are downtown, where we have a representation of three historical events in the city of Lisbon and the country. It takes us from the Christian reconquest of the city in 1147 to the restoration of independence in 1640 and the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 1755.

After this introduction, it’s time to continue our journey across the Tagus River. Here we will see the splendid statue of Christ the King, who with open arms protects and greets the beautiful city of Lisbon. From this viewpoint, we will have a panoramic view of the capital like nowhere else.
