    3 hours 30 minutes

  • Igreja de Sao Domingos

    The São Domingos Church, original from the 13th century, has witnessed for centuries faith and massacre, it was several times severely damaged by Lisbon earthquakes and a major fire. After the destructive fire of 1959, it stood closed for several decades. It opened in the 1990s, with a surprisingly simply restored interior, still reminiscent of the signs of the ruins caused by the fire.

    5 minutes

  • Praca Dom Pedro IV (Pass By)

    The Rossio is the popular name of the King Pedro IV Square (Portuguese: Praça de D. Pedro IV) in the city of Lisbon, in Portugal. It is located in the Pombaline Downtown of Lisbon and has been one of its main squares since the Middle Ages. It has been the setting of popular revolts and celebrations, bullfights and executions, and is now a preferred meeting place of Lisbon natives and tourists alike. Located in the heart of Lisbon, this vibrant and colorful city square is bursting with flower vendors, shoppers and people bustling to and from their jobs.

  • Elevador de Santa Justa

    One of the city's best-loved landmarks and also known as the "Elevator of Carmo," this extraordinary structure was built in 1902 by the Portugal-born French architect Raoul de Mesnier du Ponsard (an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel, explaining the structure's similarities to Paris' Eiffel Tower), to connect downtown to Bairro Alto (the lowest and highest points of the city). Originally powered by steam, it's 45 meters (147ft) high, and remains an interesting example of post-Eiffel iron architecture. The top of the Neo-Gothic tower, reached via a spiral staircase, has a splendid view of the city, including over Rossio Square, the castle and the river.

    2 minutes

  • Monumento Mouraria Berco do Fado

    The expressive monument dedicated to Fado and to Mouraria - Cradle of Fado. It consists of a marble block 1.5 meters high that has carved the Portuguese guitar. It is a tribute to the Fado of Lisboa, which originated in the alleys of this neighborhood, sung by poor people, with suffering lives and generous souls. It is also a tribute to the first great diva of Fado Maria Severa, who lived and died in this neighborhood in the 19th century, and to Fernando Mauricio, the crownless king of Fado during the 20th century and contemporary of Amalia, the great queen of Fado, and to all the most famous or anonymous Fado singers in Lisbon.

    10 minutes

  • Church of Sao Cristovao (Pass By)

    Probably founded in the 12th century, this church was already used at the beginning of the 14th century. From the intervention of the 16th century, only the rectangular chancel built in 1671 by the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament survived. Rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century, resisted the Lisbon earthquake.

  • Praca Da Figueira

    Praça da Figueira is a square in Lisbon Downtown. Prior to the 1755 earthquake, it was the site of the All-Saints Hospital, whose foundations were laid bare during the construction of the current underground car park. In the design of the Marquis of Pombal to Downtown, the square became the main food market of the city. In 1885 a covered market was built there, demolished in the 1950s. Today, the four-story buildings are occupied by hotels, shops and cafes and the square is no longer a market. One of the interesting features is the bronze equestrian statue of D. João I erected in 1971, by Leopoldo de Almeida. The square is served by the Rossio metro station on the Green Line, as well as several public bus and tram lines.

    2 minutes

  • Praca Martim Moniz

    Martim Moniz Square is the starting point of the famous tram 28, a tram line that runs through the oldest part of Lisbon. Although it is a regular transport line, tourists are often the longest in line to board. This square is something of a mini Chinatown, looking up to Saint George castle, and is the gate for Mouraria, the city's most multiethnic and multicultural neighborhood.

    10 minutes

  • Teatro Nacional Dona Maria II (Pass By)

    The theater was built in the nineteenth century, comes to us with all the strength of the past when the culture was only accessible to the elites. Today, the theater is open to all. In the main hall, Vihls' giant portraits of great actresses have been printed on the walls, there are guided tours, a bookstore and a friendly lounge with café / restaurant.

  • Estacao Do Rossio (Pass By)

    The Rossio Train Station is the primary train station in Lisbon. This railway station is important for visitors, as it connects Lisbon to the popular town of Sintra and passes the two stations that serve the Palácio Nacional de Queluz. The Rossio Train Station is not only an important station, but also a magnificent building, and a tourist attraction in its own right. The wonderfully ornate exterior of Rossio train station was inspired by classical 16th-century Portuguese Manueline architecture, and passengers enter via two horseshoe-shaped archways, while turrets and pinacols line the roof.

  • Capela de Nossa Senhora da Saude

    The Chapel of Our Lady of Health is located in the Mouraria neighborhood. Built in 1505 by initiative of the artillerymen of the Lisbon garrison, it was dedicated to St. Sebastian, its patron and protector of evils such as war, famine and especially the plague, which had raged in the city and caused hundreds of victims. In 1569, it was dedicated to Our Lady of Health and in 1662 welcomed her image, and became known by that name. It underwent works after being damaged by the earthquake of 1755. However, the portal attributed to João Antunes dates from the beginning of the 18th century. Every year, on the first Sunday of May, the procession of thanksgiving for the protection of the Virgin takes place, a tradition that has been repeated since the 16th century.

    2 minutes

  • Largo de Sao Domingos

    Largo de São Domingos is a square popular among Lisbon’s natives and african community that daily gathers here. A monument mural, inaugurated in 2008, reads “Lisbon, City of Tolerance” in 34 languages recalling the terrible episode of 1506 and paying tribute to the Jewish victims. The square has several stores and cafés, and is home of the famous cherry brandy shop A Ginjinha.

    10 minutes

  • Memorial as Vitimas do Massacre Judaico de 1506

    The Lisbon Massacre, also known as 1506 Easter Slaughter, began on a Sunday Mass in April when believers were praying for the end of the drought, hunger and plague that ravaged Portugal at the time. One believer claimed to have had a vision of Christ, a miracle as interpreted by other Catholics. When a New Christian tried to explain the “miracle” as light reflection, the crowd wouldn’t want to listen. The New Christian was beaten to death. Thereafter, all Jews in the city were accused of heresy. It was also here that, some years later, those condemned by the Portuguese Inquisition were left waiting to be burned alive at Rossio. A monument mural, inaugurated in 2008, reads “Lisbon, City of Tolerance” in 34 languages recalling the terrible episode of 1506 and paying tribute to the Jewish victims.

A magical night in Lisbon

Published on Dec, 2024

Dining with Sophia and her husband was the absolute highlight of our Portugal trip. Their warm hospitality and Sophia's exceptional culinary skills created an unforgettable cultural experience. We were immersed in rich conversation that gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation of Portuguese traditions. I would enthusiastically recommend this intimate dinner to anyone seeking to truly connect with the heart of the country through its people and cuisine. Sophia's talent as a hostess and cook is surpassed only by the genuine care she and her husband have for their guests. This was a truly special evening that elevated our entire vacation.

Great tour with Pedro

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great experience. Our tour with Pedro gave us an overview of Lisbon’s old town, including some of the more well known, bus also several stops at places that both exhibited the history and breadth of Portuguese food, but also to places we would never have found on our own. Thanks Pedro!

Fantastic mix of culture and food

Published on Nov, 2024

We loved our tour with Daniel. As a native of Lisboa, he had so much information to share. His perspective and background gave us a deeper understanding of Lisbon. The food stops were top notch and we had a wonderful sampling of the combination of Portuguese and foreign cuisines that Lisbon has to offer. The Mouraria neighborhood and the Fado culture that he took us through and shared with us added an unexpected dimension to our time together. Can recommend without reservation.

Daniel Exceptional Tour Guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

Daniel made our Taste of Lisbon Food Tour one of the highlights of our 10 day vacation in Portugal. Daniel arrived 10 minutes early, and walked us to our first location after meeting at the hotel lobby we were staying at. He quickly outlined the Tour stops with a map of 3ach location, what would be served, and some history and culture regarding each food and visit. In summary, Daniel was knowledgeable, funny, and managed our time at each location with a balance of enjoying, yet, not getting off track on the time of our overall tour. Could not have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend for any tourist to spend the money to experience this wonderful tour.
