Lisbon, the vibrant capital of Portugal, is a city you can't miss! This full-day tour takes you through Lisbon's iconic, history-filled monuments.

Crossing the iconic 25th April Bridge, we will arrive in Lisbon to begin our exploration of the city’s most emblematic monuments related to the great Portuguese discoveries.
