What To Expect
Baixa de Lisboa (Pass By)
Downtown Lisbon, also known as the Baixa Pombalina, is the heart of the city and one of its most iconic neighborhoods.

The streets are wide, straight, and laid out in a grid pattern, surrounded by buildings with neoclassical architecture.During the tuk-tuk tour, you'll be able to admire places such as Rossio, with its famous cafés and wavy cobblestone pavement, Praça da Figueira, and the grand Praça do Comércio, facing the Tagus River.

The Baixa is the perfect starting point for getting to know the city, offering fascinating stories, unique views, and an energy that blends tradition and modernity.
Lisbon Cathedral (Pass By)
Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Church of Santa Maria Maior, is the oldest cathedral in the city, built in the 12th century after the reconquest of Lisbon from the Moors. With its imposing Romanesque façade and two fortified towers, it is one of the most striking monuments in the capital.Over the centuries, the Cathedral has been modified and restored, incorporating Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements. It survived several earthquakes, including the devastating 1755 quake, remaining a symbol of faith and resilience. Inside, the central nave, main altar, and cloister stand out, where archaeological remains from earlier periods, including Roman and Visigothic, were discovered.Visiting the Cathedral is to dive into Lisbon’s history and feel the spirituality that spans centuries. It’s an essential stop on any city tour.
Largo Portas do Sol
The Viewpoint das Portas do Sol is one of Lisbon’s most iconic viewpoints, offering a breathtaking panorama over the rooftops of Alfama, the Tagus River, and landmarks such as the National Pantheon and the Church of São Vicente de Fora.

With a popular terrace and statues like that of Saint Vincent, the city’s patron saint, the place blends history, beauty, and a vibrant atmosphere.

The imposing façade hints at an interior decorated with marble and Portuguese azulejos from the 17th and 18th centuries.The monastery houses the tombs of the Braganza dynasty, including several kings and queens. The cloister is a highlight, featuring azulejo panels illustrating La Fontaine’s fables.
