Scenic city tour through Lisbon
Tour description
We begin our city tour at the Lisbon Market Hall , an exciting mix of traditional market stalls and hip event gastronomy. From here we go through one of the most original districts of Lisbon up to one of the most beautiful "miradouros" - with a magnificent view over the river and the photogenic 25th of April Bridge . We find out how it got its name and why the Cristo Rei spreads his arms over Lisbon.
Passing the nightlife district of Bairro Alto, we immerse ourselves in the age of voyages of discovery before we get to know the venerable shops and a special café in the bohemian Chiado district . At the panoramic Santa Justa elevator, the lower town of Baixa lies at our feet and we learn how it acquired its current appearance as a result of the terrible earthquake of 1755 and how old the Castelo de São Jorge on the castle hill opposite really is. We then stroll down to the picturesque Praça do Comércio , where our tour ends on the banks of the Tejo .
