    What To Expect

    Praca Dom Pedro IV (Pass By)

    Lisbon’s historic heart for over 700 years, Rossio has seen revolutions, royal parades, and even public executions. Today, it buzzes with life, surrounded by cafés, grand 19th-century façades, and iconic wave-patterned cobblestones. It's where Lisbon gathers, protests, celebrates… and grabs a coffee.

    Chiado (Pass By)

    Lisbon’s classy bohemian quarter, where poets once sipped coffee and artists argued about art. Today, it’s a stylish mix of old bookstores, fancy shops, cool cafés, and street performers. Think Paris meets Portugal — with better pastries.

    Bertrand

    Tucked into a Chiado side street since 1732, Bertrand isn’t just a bookstore — it’s the oldest one in the world still running! Imagine centuries of readers, revolutionaries, and romantic poets browsing its shelves. Step inside, smell the paper, and time-travel with a good book.

    Baixa de Lisboa (Pass By)

    Lisbon’s downtown comeback story—rebuilt after the massive 1755 earthquake with straight streets, grand plazas, and clever design. Today it’s all about elegant architecture, tiled façades, street performers, and pastel de nata breaks between selfies. History never looked so tidy!

    Manteigaria - Pastéis de Nata Factory

    Forget souvenirs—this is the stop you’ll actually dream about later. At Manteigaria, pastéis de nata are baked fresh right in front of you, with buttery crusts and creamy centers still warm from the oven. One bite, and you’ll understand why locals never just get one.

    Alfama (Pass By)

    Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood and a beautiful maze of narrow alleys, hidden courtyards, and laundry flapping in the breeze. It’s where Fado echoes through the streets and every corner feels like a secret. Come for the history, stay for the vibes (and maybe get a little lost — on purpose).

    A Ginjinha

    Tiny shop, big flavor! A Ginjinha is the legendary hole-in-the-wall where Lisboetas have knocked back this cherry liqueur since 1840. Sweet, strong, and sometimes served with a boozy cherry at the bottom, it's the perfect little Lisbon warm-up in a shot glass. Cheers — or as we say here, saúde!

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
