Free Walking Tours Lisbon

This legendary city brimming with color and history lays on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Free Walking Tours in Lisbon are a great experience because the charming and compact capital of Portugal is blessed with wonderful weather. An Essential Lisbon City Tour will allow you to get to know the main monuments of the historic center with a local guide. In addition, many tourists join a Free Tour through the Barrio de Belen, a laid-back area full of charisma where you can enjoy a different vibe. And if you have even more free time, we recommend booking a Free Tour through Alfama and Mouraria, the oldest neighborhoods in the city, full of cafés, shops and cultural centers worth exploring. Other interesting Free Tours in Lisbon include food tours, to discover the most delicious dishes of Portuguese cuisine, as well as a Free Tour of Lisbon by Night.

Most Lisbon Free Walking Tours will take you through three main areas in the city center — the bohemian Bairro Alto, the Chiado area, and Baixa. In these charismatic quarters, you will discover the must-see landmarks of Lisbon, which include the Castelo de Sao Jorge, Casa dos Bicos, Carmo Church, Santa Justa Elevator, Rossio Square, Dom Pedro IV Square, Sao Domingos Church, the Arco da Rua Augusta, the Mirador de Portas do Sol, Vasco da Gama Bridge, and the amazing Praça do Comércio. Also, in the Barrio de Belem area, you cannot miss Belem Tower, 25 de Abril Bridge, the Plaza de Alburquerque and the Jeronimos Monastery, among others. Art lovers would want to visit the famous Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, as well as many other quirky galleries in Chiado. Finally, you cannot leave Lisbon without riding one of the famous brightly colored trams that cross the city. You will feel like travelling back in time!

There are many activities that will fill one, two or three days of sightseeing in Lisbon. Our advice is to start the day with a good breakfast of ‘pastel de nata’, that is, the famous Portuguese custard tarts. Afterwards, enjoy a walk along the slopes of Alfama neighborhood, the most charming and oldest area in the city. Next, visit the Castle of Sao Jorge to take in the panoramic views of the city from its battlements. In the afternoon, you can enjoy the tradition of good Portuguese coffee in the oldest coffee shop in Lisbon: Martinho de Arcada, with almost 250 years of history. It is the charming place where the poet Fernando Pessoa used to go, as well as the Portuguese Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago. At night, immerse yourself in Lisbon culture by attending a live Fado show, to discover the musical genre that has made the country famous throughout the world.
