Lisbon

Yellow tram winding through a narrow street in Lisbon's old town

Lisbon is Portugal’s hillside capital on the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled facades, viewpoint terraces and centuries of seafaring history, with a food and wine culture to match. It is the starting point for almost every experience we run — on foot through the old quarters, on the river, or in a kitchen learning the classics.

The river is the best place to end a Lisbon day. Board a sunset cruise on a traditional Tagus boat, white wine included, or head out on a dolphin-watching trip from Lisbon — both part of our boat tours on the Tagus.

On land, get oriented with the Best of Lisbon walking tour or cover more ground on the private Lisbon 360 by bike, foot and boat. Hungry? The Lisbon food and wine walking tour and our hands-on Portuguese cooking classes go deep on the city’s table. When you are ready to look further, Sintra, Arrábida and the coast are all covered in our day trips from Lisbon.
