About this activity

GREAT MEMORIES, INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCES, THE BEST STORIES!
DON'T BE SURPRISED, IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST TOURS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED.

Why? Because we are the best guides in Lisbon!
After being picked up at your hotel, we will drive you through the historical center of Lisbon, to visit the city's oldest cathedral, and the Saint Antonio's church. Then you will go and see a fabulous view over the old quarters and the Castle of Lisbon, at the highest view point in Lisbon.

After crossing Lisbon's "Golden Gate Bridge", you will visit the statue of Christ the King, similar to the Statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

You will return you to Lisbon by ferry, and have lunch in Belem. Here, you will see the Belêm Tower, the Jeronimos Monastery, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, and taste the delicious pastry of Belém. Upon listening to the stories of the Portuguese discoveries period, you will return to your hotel or accommodation in Lisbon.

Insider tips

  • ★The ferry crossing is the highlight for many — arrive at the riverfront with time to spare and stay on deck for unobstructed views of both Lisbon's skyline and the 25 de Abril Bridge
  • ★Belém's pastry shops are crowded mid-afternoon; ask your guide for quieter spots or arrive early
  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes; you'll cover steep hills and centuries-old cobbled streets
  • ★Bring water and sun protection — viewpoints offer minimal shade, especially in summer

Good to know

  • •Tour duration is 8 hours; typically starts mid-morning to allow midday/afternoon Belém visit
  • •Small group size keeps pace manageable and allows personalized storytelling about Portuguese discoveries
  • •Hotel pickup/drop-off included; confirm location and time with supplier on booking
  • •Ferry crossing is weather-dependent; rain rarely cancels but may reduce visibility
  • •Lunch in Belém is on your own (pastéis de nata and cafés are affordable); budget separately
