Itinerary and highlights
Stroll along this iconic street as you learn about Lisbon’s rich Moorish heritage. Known for its traditional restaurants and theatres, it captures the city’s classic dining culture and vibrant atmosphere.
Step into a traditional Portuguese tavern and savor “fireman” chorizo and a delicious bifana pork sandwich, served with your choice of beer or wine. Cheers!
Capture a memorable photo of one of Lisbon’s oldest and most important churches.
Discover the Mozambican influence on Lisbon’s cuisine at the city’s longest-running Mozambican restaurant. Enjoy a beer or wine alongside flavorful chamuças (Portuguese samosas).
Walk through Mouraria, one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods and the birthplace of Fado. Explore its narrow streets, rich multicultural spirit, and discover Camilla Watson’s striking murals celebrating local residents and living history.
Discover the atmosphere of a traditional Fado house while enjoying octopus salad and the iconic Bacalhau à Brás (codfish), paired perfectly with wine or beer.
Arguably one of the best viewpoints of the city, overlooking Lisbon’s downtown area and Tagus river.
Settle into a relaxed, stylish atmosphere while enjoying a curated tasting of regional cheeses, traditional caldo verde (typical Portuguese soup), and a crisp sparkling green wine.
A Portuguese food tour would not be complete without their most famous pastry, the pastel de nata and homemade Pavlova!
DISCLAIMER: the tour may end at a different location, but always a pastel de nata tasting.
