Suggested Itinerary

Make the most of your stay in Lisbon with a 2-hour fully customizable tour led by your local driver. Settle into your private car and enjoy the city’s highlights as your Welcomer shares historical facts, essential information about each stop, and personal insights that bring Portuguese culture to life. This tour can be booked on its own or added as an extension to your transfer, offering you extra time to experience the city on your way to or from the airport.

Your route can include Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest districts, known for its winding narrow streets, charming old houses, and iconic viewpoints. Here you’ll also find the ancient castle of Lisbon and the characteristic Portuguese Tram. Continue to the Jerónimos Monastery, a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site and a standout example of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style.

Visit the historic Belém Tower, another UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the early 16th century to protect the city, before heading to the impressive Cristo Rei Monument, reminiscent of Brazil’s famous Christ statue. From this area, you can also admire the renowned Ponte 25 de Abril bridge.

No visit to Lisbon is complete without experiencing one of its many miradouros, or viewpoints. Among them, Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the city. You may also choose to see the Águas Livres Aqueduct, an exceptional Baroque architectural masterpiece, and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the striking riverside monument commemorating Portugal’s Age of Discovery.

At the end of your sightseeing ride, your Welcome Driver will drop you off comfortably at your hotel or apartment.
