What to expect
Start your journey with a convenient pick-up and a scenic drive through Lisbon’s charming streets. Your first stop is Graça neighbourhood, perched at the top of Lisbon’s highest hill. Here, you’ll visit the Nossa Senhora do Monte Viewpoint, where you’ll experience a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city, including the Tagus River, São Jorge Castle and the city's iconic squares. It is the perfect spot to learn about the rich history that has shaped Lisbon into the vibrant city it is today.
Lisbon Cathedral
We'll drive by the Largo das Portas do Sol Viewpoint for a panoramic view over Alfama, with an optional stop at the Lisbon Cathedral.
Praca Dom Pedro IV
After we'll do a scenic panoramic drive through the vibrant heart of Lisbon. We'll begin by cruising through the historic Baixa district and Rossio Square. Next, we’ll continue to Restauradores Square, a hub of Lisbon’s cultural and architectural heritage, before making our way along the elegant Avenida da Liberdade, lined with stylish shops, theatres, and green spaces. Finally, we'll reach the breathtaking viewpoint at Edward VII Park, where you'll enjoy panoramic views of the city.
Afterwards, we'll head to the historic Belém district. Here, you'll visit some of the city's most iconic landmarks. First, we'll stop at the Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll do a pleasant walk around this 16th-century fortress, originally built to guard the entrance to the Tagus River and admire its unique Manueline architecture.
Monument to the Discoveries
Next, we'll make our way to the Monument to the Discoveries, an impressive tribute to the explorers who helped shape Portugal’s maritime history. The monument features sculptures of famous figures such as Vasco da Gama and Henry the Navigator. It’s the perfect place to reflect on Lisbon’s role in the Age of Discovery and capture some memorable photos.
Finally, we’ll visit the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, another UNESCO World Heritage site. This masterpiece of Manueline architecture is a symbol of the country’s golden age of exploration. You’ll explore the monastery’s exterior with its intricate stone carvings and you may step inside its church where the tomb of explorer Vasco da Gama lies.
Pastéis de Belém
No visit to Lisbon would be complete without stopping by the legendary Pastéis de Belém, a charming bakery that has been serving its world-famous custard tarts since 1837. The secret recipe for these delicious pastries has been closely guarded for generations, making each bite a unique taste of Lisbon's culinary heritage.
On our way back, or possibly earlier in the day, we will make a stop at the iconic Mercado da Ribeira. Recently revitalized, it now houses the trendy Time Out Market, a vibrant food hall featuring a curated selection of the city’s best chefs, local delicacies, and artisanal products. The perfect place to reenergize with Portuguese food. Afterwards, you may want to take a stroll along the famous Pink Street, one of Lisbon’s most Instagrammable spots, famous for its striking pink pavement and colourful bars.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
