The tour usually is made on foot during the whole morning. However, those with conditioned locomotion can choose to make it by car.

Lisbon Tours: Lisbon in a Day – Morning

We will start by one of the hills of Lisbon, the one where the São Jorge Castle is located. Then, we go on to visit the best Belvederes in Lisbon, and we will tell you the history and the legends of the neighbourhoods we encounter.

However, what really makes the one day in Lisbon experience is what follows. We will go for a tasting of the best that traditional gastronomy has to offer and to visit the most emblematic taverns and traditional trade stores.

Once in Downtown, in Square of Comércio we will analyse some of the discrete symbols of the influence of the Freemasons and we will relive the history of the Earthquake of 1755. This was one of the most important events in our history and is a crucial part of seeing Lisbon in a day.

It’s time to explore the other hill of the City, where the cosmopolitan centre of Chiado is located, as well as the oldest patisseries in Lisbon, coffee stores and the Museum of the Filigree.

Lunch in the historical and typical quarter of Lisbon.

Lisbon Tours: Lisbon in a Day – Afternoon

In the afternoon we will lose ourselves in the history of Portuguese discoveries in Belém, where the main Monuments and Museums are waiting for us.

And when we feel the strength of the warriors and of the Knight Templars, it’s time to eat a Pastel de Belém with a Port glass. You just can’t spend one day in Lisbon without trying these delicious specialities!

Our visit to Lisbon is done. It’s time for the deserved rest, after a full day, with drop off at the hotel.
