Are you ready to experience Portugal’s culture through delicious and traditional food paired with authentic wines? Between the charming city center and Lisbon's oldest neighborhood, Alfama, I've discovered a joyful path that I can't wait to share with you! Our journey start at the charming Praça do Comercio: stroll and relax in one of Europe’s most historic "Café restaurante", established in 1782! Taste distinct Portuguese wines from various regions—six in total along our tour (enough to keep the happiness up!)—paired with 11 delicious petiscos. No need for dinner afterward, I guarantee it! Admire its monuments, embrace the Fado heritage, marvel at the unique azulejos, wander through enchanting alleyways and discover a traditional "tasca" (family-run tavern) that will thrill your taste buds! I want you to feel like a local, experiencing traditional food, authentic wines touching the art, culture, meeting with the people of the place, and of course... having a lot of fun!

Lisbon is best discovered on foot - on this city tour accompanied by a German-speaking city guide with exciting insights into Portuguese history, culture and current topics. Starting at Rossio Square, the small group (max. 12 participants) explores the districts of Baixa, Chiado, Bairro Alto and Alfama. On the way from the lower town to the poets' quarter of Chiado, the group admires the Santa Justa elevator first from below, then from the viewing platform with a view of the lower town and Lisbon Castle. Then it goes from the Carmo monastery ruins through the Chiado district. After a climb through the residential district of Bairro Alto, which is quiet during the day (nightlife awakens here in the evening), the group reaches the viewing point where they linger for a break. After a taste, it goes to Alfama, the oldest district, with its viewing points and winding alleys. The end is at the Praça do Comércio, directly on the Tejo River and the impressive triumphal arch.

This Lisbon Walking Tour will take you through the origins of Lisbon, behind the city walls and inside the Alfama district - a 2 to 3 hour walking tour. We start with the Phoenicians, who named it “quiet bay”, followed by the Romans – the first major settlers – to the Arabs, who shaped the old town alleys. The geography and climate of Lisbon were the greatest temptation for all the communities who settled here. This is still the case today, incidentally. The old district of Alfama, sitting on the hill facing the river, still exhibits strong references to maritime activities, from fishing to freight handling, that were once on top of the job opportunities list. Its inhabitants maintain a unique lifestyle, with a strong sense of community, influenced by an urban density and the narrowness of the streets, making this neighborhood a small village inside the big city.
