(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Baixa de LisboaPass-by Only
Baixa is the downtown district of Lisbon, Portugal, and serves as the commercial and architectural heart of the city. Known for its grand, neoclassical buildings, wide boulevards, and elegant squares, Baixa was extensively rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, which destroyed much of the older part of the city. This reconstruction, led by the Marquis of Pombal, transformed Baixa into a well-planned grid of streets that remain one of Lisbon’s most important urban landmarks. Baixa is home to some of Lisbon’s most famous squares, such as Praça do Comércio, a majestic riverside square, and Rossio Square, a lively hub surrounded by cafés and shops. The district is also known for its beautiful Arco da Rua Augusta, a monumental arch leading to the river, and the Santa Justa Lift, an iconic wrought-iron elevator offering views of the city. Today, Baixa is a bustling, modern center with a mix of retail shops, restaurants, and offices, while still retaining a sense of its historical grandeur.
Mouraria is one of Lisbon's most iconic and historically significant neighborhoods, located near the center of the city, just north of the Baixa district. The area is known for its vibrant, multicultural atmosphere and deep-rooted history, dating back to the medieval period when it was established as a Moorish quarter. Mouraria is famous for its narrow, winding streets, colorful houses, and rich cultural heritage. It is a melting pot of various cultures, with a mix of Portuguese and immigrant communities, including those from former colonies such as Cape Verde, Brazil, and Angola. Mouraria is also closely associated with Fado music, as it is the birthplace of some of the genre’s most legendary figures, including Maria Severa, one of the first famous Fado singers. Today, the neighborhood retains its authenticity and charm, with traditional taverns, small shops, and vibrant street art. It offers a more intimate and less touristy side of Lisbon.
Alfama
Alfama is one of the oldest and most iconic neighborhoods in Lisbon, Portugal, known for its narrow, winding streets, traditional buildings, and vibrant cultural heritage. Situated on a hill overlooking the Tagus River, Alfama has retained much of its historic charm, with a maze-like layout that harks back to the Moorish era. It is famous for its steep alleys, colorful houses, and stunning viewpoints (miradouros) offering panoramic views of the city. Alfama is closely associated with Fado, the traditional Portuguese music genre, and many Fado restaurants and intimate venues can be found in the neighborhood. The area is also home to important landmarks like the São Jorge Castle, the Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa), and the National Pantheon. Despite being a popular tourist destination, Alfama has a strong sense of local identity and is known for its tight-knit community, traditional shops, and eateries serving authentic Portuguese cuisine.
