Spies, earthquakes, poets and revolutions: the heart of Lisbon told by someone who lives here, with a ginjinha along the way. Book for €1.50 and decide at the end what it was worth.
Wist je dat? In 1755 an earthquake, a tsunami and a fire flattened Lisbon in a single day: the Baixa you'll walk through rose from those ashes.

- Raise a glass of ginjinha, Lisbon's favourite liqueur
- A picture-perfect finale at Praça do Comércio
Volledige beschrijving
Lisbon isn't a city you just see: it's a city you listen to. For almost three hours, a local guide walks you from the buzz of Rossio up to the hills of Chiado, telling you the stories no guidebook bothers with: how Lisbon became a nest of spies during the Second World War, why the Portuguese are still waiting for a king who vanished in 1578, and how the 1755 earthquake changed everything, from the streets under your feet to European philosophy. You'll climb to the haunting ruins of the Carmo Convent, feel the bohemian pulse of Bairro Alto, say hello to Camões and Pessoa in Chiado and knock back a ginjinha, the sour cherry liqueur locals drink in one go. The finale, in the vast Praça do Comércio facing the river, is one for your camera roll and your memory. How does it work? The €1.50 you pay when booking is just a booking fee: it saves your spot in the group, but it doesn't go to the guide. The tour itself is pay-what-you-want: at the end, you give your guide whatever you feel they've earned. Most people leave €15–20 per person, but here your smile sets the price, not a rate card.
