Tour description
Wander the soul of Lisbon on this free walking tour through the ancient Alfama district and downtown. With a local guide you'll follow the route of the rattling Tram 28 up steep cobbled lanes, discover the city's oldest neighbourhood that survived the great 1755 earthquake, and soak up views from panoramic miradouros over red rooftops and the Tagus River. Hear tales of sailors, saints and Fado — the soulful music born in these streets — and pick up tips on pastéis de nata, ginjinha and the best sunset spots. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end.
