Lisbon Walking Tours

Lisbon Walking Tours offers guided explorations of Portugal's capital on foot, leading groups through the city's most storied districts. The company's routes take in Baixa, the grand lower town rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake to a grid plan by the Marquis of Pombal, and Chiado, the literary and cultural quarter long associated with Fernando Pessoa and the city's café tradition. Alfama, the oldest surviving neighbourhood in Lisbon, winds uphill from the waterfront in a tangle of medieval lanes that predate the earthquake entirely, and it forms the backdrop for the company's dedicated Fado Tour, which explores the origins and culture of Portugal's most distinctive musical form.

Several itineraries combine walking with a ride on Lisbon's famous electric trams, the vintage yellow cars that have served the city's steep gradients since the late nineteenth century. Small-group departures are available for those who prefer a more intimate pace. Tours are conducted in English, making the history and character of each district accessible to international visitors exploring Lisbon for the first time or in greater depth.
