Your Lisbon Walking Route

The Lisbon Walking Tour is an easy-to-follow itinerary that takes you through the city’s most iconic landmarks and charming neighborhoods.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll experience:

1. Baixa District & Rossio Square

Start your day in the Baixa district, the elegant heart of Lisbon, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. Admire Rossio Square, the Santa Justa Lift (designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel), and the Arco da Rua Augusta with its stunning views over the Tagus River.

2. Chiado & Carmo

Walk to the literary quarter of Chiado, home to Livraria Bertrand, the world’s oldest bookshop, and charming cafés like A Brasileira. Don’t miss the Carmo Convent ruins, a moving reminder of Lisbon’s past.

3. Bairro Alto

Head up the elevator to Bairro Alto, famous for its narrow streets, traditional taverns, and local nightlife. This is a great place to stop for lunch at Taberna da Rua das Flores, one of Lisbon’s favorites.

4. Alfama District & Portas do Sol

Continue toward the Alfama district, Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood. Lose yourself among steep hills and narrow streets, listen to Fado music, and stop at Miradouro das Portas do Sol or Santa Luzia for breathtaking views. Visit Igreja de São Domingos, Castelo de São Jorge, and take time to feel the soul of the city.

5. Belem Neighborhood

If you have extra time in Lisbon, extend your self-guided walking tour to the charming Belém neighborhood. The easiest way to get there is by tram 15E. Once in Belém, discover the stunning Jerónimos Monastery, the iconic Belém Tower, and don’t miss tasting the original Pastel de Nata pastry. It’s a delightful way to round off your trip to Portugal.
