Private Lisbon Walking Tour: Viewpoints, Top Landmarks and Hidden Gems
3 hours
All Ages
Explore Lisbon’s historic center on a private, relaxed walking tour covering the city’s essential sights, vibrant neighborhoods, and scenic viewpoints.
Discover Lisbon’s Streets, History & Culture with a Private Local Guide
Experience Lisbon like a local on this engaging private walking tour through the heart of the city. Starting from the lively Rossio Square, your expert guide will lead you through key landmarks that tell the story of Lisbon — from the peaceful Church of São Domingos to the symbolic Largo do Carmo, where Portugal’s dictatorship came to an end.
You’ll explore the elegant streets of Chiado, admire the Santa Justa Elevator from above, and stroll through the grand squares and historic alleys of Baixa. Along the way, discover shortcuts and viewpoints known only to locals, allowing you to bypass steep climbs and enjoy some of Lisbon’s best photo spots.
Your walk continues through the ancient Alfama district, visiting the Roman Theater ruins, and concludes at the stunning Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints, offering panoramic views over the red rooftops and the Tagus River.
This isn’t a typical sightseeing tour — think of it as discovering the essence of Lisbon in the company of a knowledgeable local friend. And, of course, no Lisbon experience would be complete without tasting a traditional Ginjinha liqueur along the way!
Meeting Point
Rossio Square (Praça Dom Pedro IV) — near the central monument.
