Authentic Lisbon
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrive in Lisbon
Today you’ll arrive in Lisbon and stay in a central hotel near to the historic centre that is within walking distance from an array of sights. Winding streets, large squares and old trams adorn the streetscape of this district, but because the centre is quite compact, it is best to discover the sights on foot. Admire the exquisite details of centuries-old buildings, each telling a unique story of the city’s rich heritage. Experience the authenticity of Lisbon’s squares, where local bars create a vibrant ambiance that beckons you to sit back, relax, and savour a delightful drink. Engage in lively conversations with fellow travellers or strike up a conversation with friendly locals, who are always eager to share their love for their city and its hidden treasures.
Day 2 – Walking tour with a local
Start today with a delicious breakfast. You can explore Lisbon independently, but for a real insight into the city we have arranged a 3-hour walking tour with a Lisbon resident, who knows the city like the back of their hand. This way you can discover the city in a less touristy way. You’ll avoid the crowds, see the most important sites and some of the city’s hidden spots.
Your afternoon is free to continue exploring on your own. Dive into the seafarers’ past in Belém on the banks of the Tagus, head to the Alfama district, with its centuries-old buildings, or relax in one of the city’s many cafes and people watch.
Day 3 – Departure from Lisbon
After another tasty breakfast of fresh coffee and pastel de nata you are ready to leave Lisbon and continue your Portuguese journey.
