Lisbon is a city where old world charm and cosmopolitan vibrancy blend seamlessly into each other. You'll discover some of the capital's best-kept secrets on this full day excursion, including the coastal district of Belem, the Jeronimos Monastery, the Mae d'Agua cistern and the history-steeped narrow lanes of Alfama.
Kick off with a visit to Belem to appreciate Lisbon's seafaring past, taking in the emblematic Belém Tower, the elaborately decorated Jerónimos Monastery and the Monument to the Discoveries. Fortify yourself here with a creamy Belém pastry tasting.
The second part of the excursion moves to Lisbon city centre. Tour the 18th century Mae d'Agua cistern – which houses a water museum – and the Aguas Livres aqueduct. Visit St George's Castle and go on a guided walking tour of the Castelo, Mouraria, Graça and Alfama districts. And you'll bookend the day with a tasting of ginjinha – the fiery local liqueur – before taking in city views from the elevated Senhora do Monte lookout.
