Step off the beaten path and discover Almada - Lisbon’s soulful neighbour across the Tagus. This 90-minute walking tour weaves together maritime heritage, industrial grit, and artistic flair.
Begin at the red Farol de Cacilhas lighthouse, stroll through the historic Ginjal district, and ride the Boca do Vento Panoramic Lift for sweeping views. Along the way, uncover Moorish roots, Roman ruins, earthquake tales, and striking street art.
Visit a decommissioned submarine, a 17th-century fort turned gallery, and the Casa da Cerca art centre.
From shipyards to revolutions, discover why locals call Almada “the other side of the coin” to Lisbon.
