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.
Pass by: 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.
Pass by: The biggest Square in Europe.

Traveler reviews
A great tuk tuk trip around Lisbon
Manuel was knowledgeable and very user friendly and was thoughtful to flex his plan. We enjoyed the half day a lot
Great Tuk-Tuk tour!
We had a great morning with our guide Lucas. He was very knowledgeable, friendly.and shared lots of interesting stories with us about Lisbon’s history. It was great to do this tour on our first day to get an overview of the city and also take in the views and local delicacies! Would definitely recommend!
Amazing host Jose !
We done a 1 hour Tuk Tuk tour with Jose he was excellent we managed to do 3 viewpoints during this time. Jose’s knowledge was amazing he told us loads of history of the area and on the tour. We all really enjoyed our experience of the ride thank you! Just want to say the actual company was a nightmare to deal with I received at least 9 emails / texts with the incorrect pick up point which made the booking stressful to try and speak to someone to make sure the pick up point was the correct one which we had booked. I received incorrect messages even after I had confirmed with someone.
Great!
Paulo was a great guide! We saw a lot of the city and Paulo was very flexibel and considerate about our wishes

It was an incredible experience! The tour was very well organized, the places visited were wonderful and the guide made all the difference. Very friendly, attentive, fun and always willing to explain everything in detail and answer questions. Left the walk light, interesting and even more special. I highly recommend for those who want to know the place in a nice and well accompanied way. Thank you for providing such a good experience!
