Tour description
Discover the soul of Lisbon on a free walking tour through the historic Alfama neighborhood and city center. Alongside a local guide, you will follow the route of the rattling Tram 28 through steep cobblestone alleys, explore the city's oldest district that survived the devastating 1755 earthquake, and take in panoramic viewpoints (miradouros) overlooking red-tiled roofs and the Tagus River. Listen to stories of sailors, saints, and Fado—the soulful music born right in these streets—while gathering insider recommendations for pastéis de nata, ginjinha, and the best sunset spots. Free to join—simply tip your guide at the end based on your satisfaction.
