About this experience
On this car tour, we will show you not only the classic, but also the lesser-known Lisbon, which many travelers are not familiar with, so that you can get the most complete and vivid impression of this city that is very different from other European capitals. You will learn about its history, the civilizations and cultures that influenced the formation of Lisbon, the eras of prosperity and decline of the empire, outstanding personalities, peculiarities of Portuguese architecture, traditions, holidays, way of life, gastronomic preferences of the locals, and everything else you will be interested to know about the city and the country.
What to Expect
- The Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower will tell you about the amazing era of the great geographical discoveries.
- The monument to the discoverers will remind you of the former glory of the kingdom.
- The unique Alfama will lead you through its alleys and tell you about the almost thirty centuries of Lisbon's history. And the viewpoints - the charm of the capital!
- The name of the Marquis of Pombal, who rebuilt the city from ruins after the terrible earthquake of the 18th century, is carried by one of the central squares of Lisbon.
- From here, along the Avenue of Liberty, we will arrive at the Commercial Square and Baixa, where the Rossio and Figueira squares compete with their best pastry and wine shops.
- And finally, "above the shore - the Christ's crucifixion and the airy bridge across the Tagus river." Paradoxically, but as a fact, one of the symbols of the capital - the statue of Christ - stands in a completely different city. But we will take you there too, speeding through the famous twin of the Golden Gate - the "25th of April" bridge! Because from there you can see the whole Lisbon!
As a result, you will visit different districts and monuments of the city, get to know it not only from the ceremonial, but also from the most ordinary, 'living' side, learn to navigate the sights and, of course, gain a better understanding of the history, culture, and architecture of Lisbon and Portugal as a whole!
