Lisbon Half-Day Tour

Tour Description

This half-day tour allows you to discover Lisbon, capital of Portugal. Many civilizations colonized Lisbon through the centuries: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and finally the Portuguese after 1147. Visit St. George Castle, including its surrounding quarter and Alfama, Lisbon's oldest quarter.

This city is linked with the heroic deeds of the Portuguese maritime exploration, in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Age of Discoveries and the Golden Era of Portugal, transformed Lisbon into the opulent centre of a vast empire. Part of the wealth from these expeditions was used to build magnificent monuments in a unique Portuguese style: the extravagant Manueline architectural style, best typified in Jerónimos Monastery. Some of these monuments can still be seen, especially in the area of Belém.

But Lisbon has more than just monuments! Also visit the traditional commerce zones of the city, with their 18th century buildings: the Downtown and the Chiado. In short, tour all the best that Lisbon has to show!
