The National Pantheon, housing the tombs of Portugal’s major historic celebrities, is located on the original site of the church of Santa Engrácia. Founded in the second half of the 16th century, the building was totally rebuilt at the end of the 17th century.
The Feira da Ladra is one of Lisbon's oldest markets and over the centuries has evolved from selling unwanted second-hand goods with unknown origins (hence the name of the market) to the present day jumble of antics and random goods.
The Praça do Comércio is located in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. Situated near the Tagus river, the square is still commonly known as Terreiro do Paço because it was the location of the Paços da Ribeira (Royal Ribeira Palace) until it was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
The Lisbon Cathedral, often called simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. Built in 1147, the cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.
ou don't have to be a fan of Fado to enjoy the Fado Museum. It’s much more than a tribute to that local musical genre (which was placed on the World Heritage list in 2011), it also shows the cultural and political environment in Portugal, and especially in Lisbon, throughout much of the 20th century.
Marvel with the amazing views over Alfama and Tejo river at Portas de Sol terrace. Know for its Fado tradition, narrow paths and long stretches of stairs Alfama offers a unique atmosphere on its own.

My wife and I have been doing Segway tours in many of of city breaks and this one was as good as any of our previous tours. Our tour guide Andrie was very knowledgeable in both the Lisbon history and also the different areas we visited on our Segways. The Segways themselves had wheels wider than what we’d experienced previously however as there are many tram tracks in Lisbon this actually made sense as it prevented any accidents with regards to wheels getting stuck in the team tracks. We found the tour interesting and the routes used easy to negotiate on the Segways. We were actually late for the tour as the location used on the Viator map for the tour was wrong. I pointed this out to Andrie and his colleagues however at this moment in time I’m unsure if this issue has been rectified. A interesting tour and I would recommend this tour to anyone who was interested in seeing Lisbon without having to put too much effort into walking.
Couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. Good big Segways with chunky tyres (a godsend on the very bumpy and hilly roads of Lisbon. Antonio was a fabulous guide - friendly, knowledgeable and careful on the busy roads. A great way to see this hilly and challenging city.
Thoroughly enjoyed this activity. The host was very friendly and they allow you time to ride the Segway in the main square for 15/20mins to get used to controlling it, before you go on the sightseeing part. The tour it self is an excellent way to see the highlights in and around parliament square. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
We had a tour of the old part of Lisbon with Hugo & Jose- great guys who have a wonderful personality and knowledge of the city. It was very enjoyable, lots of help and advise along the way. Highly recommend using this company for anyone visiting Lisbon and taking a tour.
<p>Great tour! I highly recommend. This was my second Segway tour and I was able to see pretty much all of Lisbon within 2 hours. My tour guide was great! He was very informative, took us to all the neighborhoods listed, stopped a few places for us to explore, and was very personal in giving us recommendations of areas/restaurants/and other places to visit while on our trip to Lisbon.</p>
