Welcome to Lisbon: Baixa & Alfama Walking Tour

Explore the charm of Lisbon as grand avenues turn into cozy, winding alleys. Join our walking tour to discover how these scenic, historic streets reveal the authentic heart and soul of Portugal’s vibrant capital.

At the heart of Lisbon, the streets begin wide and orderly — and then, almost without warning, they twist, narrow, and climb. This is where the city reveals its true character.

Join us to explore Baixa and Alfama — from grand squares rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake to the maze-like streets of Lisbon’s oldest district. Along the way, discover stories of empire, resilience, and everyday life, while enjoying some of the best viewpoints over the Tagus River.

This is the perfect introduction to Lisbon — from its elegant center to its most authentic neighborhood.
