Lisbon in One Day: Guided Sightseeing Tour

After a convenient pickup at your central Lisbon hotel, set off for a full day of sightseeing with a knowledgable local guide. Travel by air-conditioned minivan to the riverside district of Belem. In Belem, see the 16th-century Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower, both classified UNESCO World Heritage sites. Try a traditional custard tart from a famous confectionery, founded in 1837.
After departing Belem, take a short ride to the charming Baixa and Alfama neighborhoods in the heart of Old Lisbon. Follow your guide to Portas do Sol, a panoramic overlook, as well as the 12th century Lisbon Cathedral, and Commerce Square. Stroll through rua Augusta, admiring its colorful buildings. You will have the opportunity to taste ginjinha, a traditional cherry liqueur (own expense).
Next, visit Chiado and Bairro Alto districts. Learn about Lisbon’s devastating earthquake of 1755, then check out the famous cafe, "A Brasileira," or visit charming old bookshops and boutiques. Take the minivan through modern neighborhoods, EXPO and the Nations Park, seeing the Vasco da Gama bridge and remarkable architecture. Enjoy time to explore more on your own, then reconvene with your guide and head back to your hotel where the tour concludes.
