Lisbon: an introduction to the historic center
This is a half-day walking tour dedicated to the historic center and some of Lisbon's most beautiful neighborhoods.
Spanning more than 2000 years of history, Lisbon is one of the oldest capital cities in Europe and has been called home by different peoples, cultures and religions. It's a city of layers and hills, where different peoples found a safe harbour on a hilltop, conveniently located at a narrow passage of a wide and plentiful river estuary, the ideal location for civilizations to settle and thrive. At some point, almost 900 years ago, this city became Portuguese, as it is today.
Wandering through old streets, fabulous monuments and breathtaking lookouts in the Downtown and Old Town areas, this tour gives you a condensed and lively introduction to the long and fascinating history of Lisbon and Portugal.
