Itinerary
Discover the striking history of Lisbon's oldest church, built in 1148 after the city's conquest by King Afonso I. Admire its medieval architecture and take in the majestic façade that has withstood centuries.
Enjoy stunning views over Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood, with a panoramic snapshot of the city’s whitewashed buildings, winding streets, and the sparkling river.
Situated atop one of Lisbon's highest hills, this viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. It is named after the nearby chapel of Senhora do Monte, built in the 18th century. Historically, the site has always been revered as a sacred space, offering peace and tranquility away from the bustling city below.
Founded in 1147 by Portugal’s first king, this monastery was originally built outside the city walls, hence the name “de Fora” (outside). The present-day structure was reconstructed in the 16th century in a grand Renaissance style. The monastery is the resting place of several Portuguese kings, and although we pass by it, its grandeur is hard to miss.
The National Pantheon, originally the Church of Santa Engrácia, took an astounding 284 years to complete, earning it a place in Lisbon’s lore. Today, it honors Portugal’s most prominent figures.
The Fado Museum pays homage to Portugal’s soulful music genre, born in these very streets.
Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood, is a labyrinth of narrow streets and has a deep-rooted history as a Moorish and later Jewish quarter.
This grand riverside square was once the site of the Royal Ribeira Palace, destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755. It was later rebuilt as a symbol of Portugal’s maritime glory, with elegant arcades and the imposing Rua Augusta Arch. For centuries, it was Lisbon's main gateway, welcoming ships and traders from across the globe.
Housed in the historic Mercado da Ribeira, Lisbon’s main market since the 1890s, Time Out Market brings together the city’s top chefs and gastronomic experiences under one roof. Though the building is modernized, its history as a hub for fresh produce and fish traders is still alive today.
Chiado is one of Lisbon’s most elegant districts, once the center of literary and intellectual life in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Largo do Carmo is home to the ruins of the Carmo Convent, destroyed in the 1755 earthquake.
Bairro Alto, known for its vibrant nightlife, dates back to the 16th century, originally populated by aristocrats and merchants.
Príncipe Real is known for its beautiful 19th-century mansions and trendy atmosphere.
This landscaped terrace was built in the 19th century, offering some of the best views of Lisbon’s skyline, including the São Jorge Castle. It’s a perfect spot to admire the blend of old and new Lisbon.
Dominated by the magnificent Estrela Basilica, a striking example of late Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, this neighborhood is rich in history. The basilica was commissioned in 1779 by Queen Maria I to fulfill a vow, making it one of Lisbon’s most significant religious landmarks.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Built in 1515 as a fortress to defend the city, the tower once guarded the entrance to Lisbon’s harbor. It’s a perfect example of Manueline architecture, adorned with maritime motifs and gothic influences. The tower also commemorates the great explorers who set sail from Portugal to discover new worlds.

Very nice visit with Claudio who is very nice thank you it was a very pleasant time. We will be back with pleasure it is a very good guide
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un très agréable moment avec Claudio. Il sera touché par vos compliments.
Met Carlos for our adventure promptly and he toured the city from Bellem (including a great local warm pastry) and then took us to city center, San Graca neighborhood and pointed out many cathedrals and important buildings. Fun day in a city we will definitely be returning to!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring the city with Carlos. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure when you return.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely fantastic tour of Lisbon with Querobim (Bambino) and I honestly cannot recommend him enough. From start to finish, he made the day feel effortless, fun, and full of learning. He took us around to some of Lisbon’s most beautiful churches, where he shared fascinating details about the history, the architecture, and the stories behind the buildings. It wasn’t just a sightseeing stop—it really felt like we were gaining a deeper understanding of the culture and heritage. He then brought us to one of the city’s highest viewpoints, where the views were absolutely breathtaking. What really stood out was that he didn’t just drop us off to take pictures—he actively got involved, snapping amazing photos of us (and even letting us get some of him too!). He clearly knows the best angles and spots, so we left with memories captured perfectly. He also took us to a place with some stunning artwork and paintings, and once again, he made sure we got some really nice photos to remember the moment. Beyond the sights, Querobim was everything you’d want in a guide: punctual, organised, and very knowledgeable. He had a schedule in mind that kept the day flowing smoothly, but he also went above and beyond, giving us even more than what we had signed up for—which was such a thoughtful surprise. What really made the tour special, though, was his personality. He was entertaining, friendly, and full of good energy. At one point, we even had music and sing-alongs in his vehicle, which made the day feel like we were out exploring with a good friend rather than a guide. This was truly one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon. If you’re considering a tour, do yourself a favour and book with Querobim. You’ll not only see the city—you’ll feel it, and you’ll be in excellent hands. Highly, highly recommended! Tivemos um tour absolutamente fantástico por Lisboa com o Querobim (Bambino) e, sinceramente, não poderia recomendá-lo mais. Do início ao fim, ele fez o dia ser descontraído, divertido e cheio de aprendizagem. Ele levou-nos a várias igrejas lindíssimas, onde partilhou detalhes fascinantes sobre a história, a arquitetura e as histórias por trás dos edifícios. Não foi apenas uma visita turística — sentimos que estávamos a ganhar uma compreensão mais profunda da cultura e do património. Depois, levou-nos a um dos miradouros mais altos da cidade, onde tivemos vistas de cortar a respiração. O que realmente se destacou foi que ele não só nos deixou tirar fotografias, como também tirou fotos incríveis de nós (e até deixámos algumas dele também!). Ele sabe exatamente os melhores ângulos e lugares, por isso ficámos com recordações capturadas de forma perfeita. Também nos levou a ver algumas pinturas e obras de arte, e mais uma vez, fez questão de garantir que tivéssemos fotos bonitas desse momento. Para além dos locais, o Querobim foi tudo o que se pode desejar num guia: pontual, organizado e muito conhecedor. Tinha um plano que fez o dia fluir na perfeição, mas também foi além do que estava previsto, oferecendo-nos ainda mais do que tínhamos contratado — um gesto muito generoso da parte dele. Mas o que realmente tornou o tour especial foi a sua personalidade. Foi divertido, simpático e cheio de boa energia. Em determinado momento até tivemos música e cantámos juntos no carro, o que fez o dia parecer uma saída com um bom amigo em vez de apenas um guia. Foi, sem dúvida, um dos pontos altos da nossa estadia em Lisboa. Se está a pensar em fazer um tour, faça um favor a si próprio e reserve com o Querobim. Não vai apenas ver a cidade — vai senti-la, e estará em ótimas mãos. Altamente recomendado!
Claudio our guide was very knowledgeable, explained the history of Lisboa and specific sites along the way. He was very courteous, safety and comfort were his primary concerns. He took many photos for us and overall provided an excellent experience. Highly recommended. A great way to see the sights in Lisboa!
