Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Looking for a fresh approach to the Portuguese capital, preferably somewhere between grass-roots culture, street vibes and contemporary rites? if so this tour is tailor-made for you. First we wander around a string of amazing hilltop terraces over the city and the river, before we dive into the picturesque neighborhoods of the Castle hill. We visit monuments like the Roman Theater and The Sé Cathedral, but also quiet backstreets, remote courtyards and puzzling alleyways. Finally we get to the monumental riverside and explore Renaissance Palaces, late Gothic Churches and the majestic Commercial Square, open to the Ocean and the World.

Itinerary
1
Miradouro Das Portas Do Sol
The story of Lisbon is inseparable from the river, that large gateway to the Atlantic ocean. This square is a perfect starting point to explore the city as it offers sweeping views over the Castle Hill and the Old Town framed by the broad mouth of the Tagus river.
15 minutes
2
Miradouro de Santa Luzia
The happy coexistence of exquisite ceramic tiles (azulejos) from different ages and styles in the two platforms of this balcony is a very good metaphor of Lisbon (mixed) identity.
15 minutes
3
Igreja de Santiago
Admire the Baroque St James church, where the Portuguese "Camino" to the holy city of Compostela stars, but explore also quaint Largo do Contador, with residential houses prior to the 1755 tsunami
15 minutes
4
Beco do Recolhimento
Explore the residential half of The Castle of St. George, including the brand new Recolhimento garden and belvedere, opened to east side of town
20 minutes
5
Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano
Ruins of the first monument properly built in Lisbon under Caesar Augustus rule (end of the first century BC), expanded in AD 57, when it was dedicated to Nero. Buried and forgotten, the archeological site was only reopened to the public in 2015.
10 minutes
6
Lisbon Cathedral
First and only remaining Romanesque monument in town, the Lisbon Cathedral is half a church, half a fortress. Some say it's almost a new medieval cathedral, as it was radically rebuilt in the 30's of the 20th century.
20 minutes
7
Church of St. Anthony
Tradition says this church was built on top of the room where Saint Anthony was born. That room is now the crypt of the church (rebuilt after the 1755 tsunami), one of the most popular in Lisbon. But is St. Anthony or St. Vincent the Lisbon favorite saint?
15 minutes
8
Lapides das Pedras Negras
Amazing Roman tombstones embedded on the walls of a XVIII century residential building
10 minutes
9
Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)
Lisbon finest square is open to the river (and the sea) and was completely rebuilt after the 1755 tsunami like a theatrical setting. Admire the Column Pier, King José statue and the monumental Arch, plus the many events staged all year round on the square.
20 minutes
10
Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Velha
One of the finest facades in the late Portuguese Gothic style, full of Royal symbols, Grotescos and Esoteric suggestions
