Discover the "City of Seven Hills" on Foot...

Explore the best of Lisbon in two hours with two viewpoints, ten stops, and four neighbourhoods. A local guide will take you on a story-driven walking tour through the streets of Lisbon, where history, culture, views, cuisine, and local life collide.


We’ll explore four neighbourhoods walking through Lisbon chronologically, from the city’s imperial golden age to the devastating 1755 earthquake, literary cafés, cultural traditions, and the modern Lisbon that locals love today. By the end of the tour, you’ll understand the urban reinvention that makes Lisbon a must-see destination and shape its future.


We’ll start the tour in Bairro Alto at one of the city’s most beautiful viewpoints: the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, featuring sweeping views of the seven hills, São Jorge Castle, and the Tagus River. Then, we’ll head to Carmo to uncover Lisbon’s golden age and the impact of the 1755 earthquake, where we’ll visit Igreja de São Roque, the sole survivor of the earthquake, the richest Jesuit church in Portugal, and the oldest church in the city.


Stand in the square where Europe’s longest dictatorship ended in less than 24 hours during the peaceful Carnation Revolution, before climbing to one of the city’s best rooftop viewpoints. Pass beneath the iconic Santa Justa Lift, inspired by the world of Gustave Eiffel, and wander into Chiado, Lisbon’s elegant literary heart.


Discover the city of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, browse the oldest operating bookshop in the world, and soak up café culture where Lisbon’s writers once gathered. Then head to Cais do Sodré and stroll along Pink Street, an Instagrammable nightlife hotspot with a scandalous past as the city’s former red light district. We’ll finish the tour at the legendary Time Out Market and a freshly baked pastel de nata from one of Lisbon’s best pastry shops.


This tour is for travellers who want the full story of Lisbon in just two hours: history, art, literature, food, nightlife, and great photo spots. For people who want a tour that gives them both the history and the modern, Instagrammable side of one of Europe’s oldest capital cities.
