Overview

Lisboa is the stunning capital city of Portugal and one of the most charismatic and vibrant cities in Western Europe. This magical city blends traditional heritage, with striking modernism and multicultural thinking.
During this four-hour driving tour, we will visit Lisbon's must-see sites and explore hidden gems.

In the first two hours, we’ll explore Lisbon's historic heart, pausing at stunning viewpoints and fascinating monuments that captivate your imagination.
Then, we’ll drive to the historical district of Belém. We'll marvel at the iconic Belém Tower (viewed from the outside), stroll around the Monument to the Discoveries, and explore the iconic XVI-century Jerónimos Monastery.
We'll then return to old Lisbon for drop-off, but before that, we can't skip the famous Pastéis de Belém pastry shop, the only place where you'll find custard tarts made according to the original recipe invented by the monks.
Join us for this incredible journey through time and beauty!
