Itinerary
Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood and the most charming one, it’s considered the historic soul of Lisbon and its steep, cobblestoned lanes stand just as they were in medieval times. This area is best known for its fado houses and the great festivities of Lisbon which honors “Santo António” (St. Anthony) during the month of June, luring thousands of people into the streets. This neighbourhood resisted to the terrible earthquake of 1755 and this was one of the main reasons that contributed to the preservation of its authenticity. This charming area retains some of the Moorish atmosphere with its alleys, staircases and clothes drying on the windows.
An amazing view over the city.
On the highest of the seven hills, Graça is located next to the iconic São Jorge Castle and this area is famous for its two beautiful viewpoints: Senhora do Monte belvedere and Graça belvedere, also known as Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen viewpoint. During the 20th century this neighbourhood became a residential area for factory workers mainly. At that time this neighbourhood was characterized by its courtyards, traditional taverns and grocery stores, hosted popular festivities and the first public school was founded here (Voz do Operário) as well as the arrival of the iconic 28 tram.
T.the stop elected as “the favorite” is at the National Pantheon, also known as St. Engratia Church. It’s a majestic baroque monument that took three centuries to build (from 1682 to 1966) and it is the resting place of the most important cultural and political figures in the country.
The biggest Square in Europe.

What a wonderful way to explore Lisbon. It was really fun and we learned so much. Our guide Balthazar was the best!
Alvaro: Absolutely fantastic tuk tuk tour! The experience was amazing from start to finish, and our guide was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We learned so much along the way, and the tour was both fun and really informative. You could tell our guide genuinely loved sharing the sights and stories with us, which made the experience even more special. Also, we got to cut the lines for 2 places because this was a tour! This saved us so much time. We had such a wonderful time and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting. 10/10 — we’d happily do it again!
