Best of Lisbon Walking Tour

Explore the ancient capital of Portugal by foot in this walking tour! Wander along its cobbled streets and find yourself in awe of its picture-perfect districts. Start your quest at Rosso Square, one of the main plazas ever since the Middle Ages. These grounds have witnessed countless revolutions, celebrations, bullfights, and executions, a truly historical piece of Lisbon's landscape. From there, proceed to the Restauradores Square for a viewing of the Obelisk - a majestic monument that symbolizes victory and independence. Walk farther along and arrive at Rossio Central Station, a terminal with a strange Neo-Mauline facade that fascinates architects even today. Next, look into the city's past through Carmo Square's romantic gothic ruins. Just a few streets away stands the historic Baixa district and the grand neighborhood of Chiado. Filled with rows of establishments, Baixa houses some of the best restaurants to try Pastel de Nata at. Savor the rich, creamy texture of the local delicacy even as you board one of the old vintage trams to Alfama. Check out the Baixa's Neoclassical architecture that stretches along Chiado, which gives way to another point in time when you step into Alfama's town proper - an ancient hillside neighborhood. This cultural heritage can be seen even in discreet wine bars, which you'll visit for a tapas and wine tasting session. Pay your respects at Lisbon's Cathedral before your tour ends at the impressive plaza of Praça do Comércio.
