Description

From the legendary founding by Ulysses to the bold caravels of the Age of Discovery, Lisbon’s story stretches from ancient myths and Vasco da Gama to the tragic 1755 earthquake. But the real magic? It’s waiting for you in the elegant squares and avenues of the Baixa District.

On this 2-hour tour, step into the heart of the "City of the Seven Hills" and uncover the stories, characters and global adventures that shaped Lisbon into the vibrant capital it is today. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore iconic landmarks while diving into Portuguese maritime history, the secrets of the Inquisition and local traditions (and gastronomy), brought to life with energy, humor and insider knowledge.

More than just a history tour, this experience is the perfect way to get your bearings in Lisbon. By the end, you’ll not only understand how the city once commanded the world's oceans, you’ll know how to navigate the steep calçadas, where to find the most authentic Ginjinha and how to make the most of your time like a local.

Original Free Tour - great overview

This 2 hour tour was perfect to get an overview of the city. Two hours was just about right on a warm day, with only one hill involved! Bruno was an engaging guide, giving us great info without being overwhelming. Recommended.
