Itinerary

Day 1

This Half day tour was made thinking on providing you the experience of feeling like a local in Lisbon. Our guide will take you to several places that you wouldn t find on your own.
Lisbon is a very old city, colonized by many civilizations along the centuries: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and it became Christian in 1147 after a four month siege to the Castle.
We ll start this day by picking you up at your hotel or pear.
The tour starts to Lisbon Downtown, the so-called Baixa, from where we ll take a 19th century tram ride to discover the ancient neighborhoods of the historic centre. It s time to walk to one of the most fashionable sections of the city. The cosmopolitan Chiado is a commercial and cultural centre. A great variety of shops and cafeterias gather people during the day, while theatres, bars and restaurants are busy in the evening. Our guide will take you to Solar do Vinho do Porto for a Port wine tasting (optional). Inaugurated in 1946, the Solar do Vinho do Porto has a privileged location, in one of the most noble districts and neighborhoods of Lisbon. This is a way of enjoying one of richest national heritages.
We will then visit St. George Castle, including its surrounding quarter. This section of Lisbon has kept its tradition of a small village within a big city, as everybody knows each other. You ll have the same feeling in Alfama, Lisbon's oldest quarter, where we will end our visit. The name itself comes from the Arabic Al-hamma meaning fountains or baths. Indeed, we can still find several fountains.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
