Description
Explore the heart of Lisbon on an eco-friendly electric Tuk Tuk tour through Alfama, the city's oldest and most iconic district. This guided journey is perfect for those who want to experience the beauty, history, and soul of Lisbon without the exhaustion of climbing its famous hills.
Your adventure begins at the Time Out Market, a bustling hub of local food and culture. From there, ride comfortably through the city’s narrow streets and scenic routes as your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights into Lisbon’s rich heritage.
First, pass by the Praça do Comércio, Lisbon's largest and most important square, often used for national celebrations and concerts. Capture memorable photos against the backdrop of the grand arches and river views.
Next, stop at the Sé de Lisboa (Lisbon Cathedral) — the city's oldest church — where your guide will share stories about its Romanesque architecture and religious significance.
Continue uphill to the Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints, offering postcard-perfect views of Lisbon’s red-roofed houses and the Tagus River. These are among the most visited spots in the city — and for good reason.
The tour climbs further to the highest viewpoint in Lisbon, where you'll get a stunning 180-degree panoramic view covering both the old and new parts of the city.
Visit the Church of São Vicente de Fora, a 17th-century monastery where members of the Portuguese royal family were married. Nearby, you’ll pass the Feira da Ladra, Lisbon’s famous flea market known for its antiques, vintage finds, and curious treasures. Historically referred to as the “Thieves’ Market,” this area is full of character.
Next, admire the grandeur of the National Pantheon, where many of Portugal’s most important historical figures are laid to rest.
Finally, arrive in Alfama, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Europe. Here, you’ll enjoy a short walking tour through its charming maze of narrow streets, where locals live in colorful homes decorated with hanging laundry and tiled facades. Pass by the Fado Museum, learn about the soulful traditional music of Portugal, and get recommendations for local restaurants that offer live Fado shows.
Alfama is also home to some of the best gift shops in the city, perfect for picking up handmade souvenirs and unique gifts for your loved ones.
This tour blends cultural storytelling, historical exploration, and scenic beauty—all in a relaxed, fun, and sustainable way. Whether it’s your first time in Lisbon or you’re returning to see more, this tour offers a complete and memorable experience.
