Lisbon tours & holidays

Experience Lisbon like a local

Portugal’s charismatic capital is one of those places where simply going for a walk is exciting. Just a quick hop from Porto, you’ll stroll grand boulevards, ride the iconic Gloria cable car and wander the cobbled streets under the signature red terracotta rooftops. From live fado performances in Bairro Alto to seafood feasts by the Tagus River and hands-on lessons in making the country's famous pastry, everything is even better with a local leader by your side giving you the inside scoop on where to go, what to do and how it's done by the people who call Lisbon home.

Lisbon highlights

Visit Pena Palace in Sintra

Go to Sintra for the Pena Palace, stay for its unique Moorish architecture and beautiful walking trails. The colourful cliff-top palace and nearby Castle of the Moors are sites to see and the cooler climate in Sintra made for quite the summer retreat for royalty back in the day.

Madrid to Marrakech

Step back in time

Check out Lisbon's history with a trip to the Sao Jorge Castle, a Moorish citadel above the Old Town, then head to the Naval Museum for a glimpse into the history of Portuguese navigation. You can also make a pit stop at the grand Jeronimos Monastery and Lisbon Cathedral, built on the site of an old mosque in 1150 by Lisbon’s first bishop.

Try local cuisine

Walk along Lisbon’s cobbled Alfama streets and sit down at one of the many cozy hole-in-the-wall spots or sunny outdoor cafes and try a pastel de nata – the country’s famous pastry – and sip some sweet cherry ginjinha – Portugal's iconic cherry liqueur. Trying some canned fish is a must, even if just one bite!
