Overview

One city, two stories—follow the path of Lisbon’s greatest tragedy and its golden age of discovery, from earthquake ruins to Belém’s iconic monuments.

History buffs, culture seekers, and curious travellers will love this 4 hour Lisbon Tuk Tuk tour. Explore the city’s grand squares, scenic viewpoints, and the haunting ruins left by the 1755 earthquake. Ride through Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Príncipe Real before heading riverside to Belém. Here, you’ll discover Portugal’s Golden Age monuments, the Tower of Belém, Monument to the Discoveries, Jerónimos Monastery, and the world-famous Pastéis de Belém bakery (visit included, food not included).
