About this experience
Sooner or later while visiting Lisbon you’ll end up strolling in the Baixa and Chiado neighborhood, the Downtown of the Portuguese capital. For more than two centuries that’s where everything has happened including political conspiracies, religious processions, intellectual get-togethers and outrageous art performances. After a ravaging fire 30 years ago, Baixa and Chiado experienced a striking renaissance and are now again a lively area - the area with the greater concentration of fancy shops, innovative coffee shops and cool restaurants. Through this comprehensive walking tour (3h-4h) you’ll discover some incredible addresses, while you get acquainted with amazing and insightful stories on the more cosmopolitan district in Lisbon.
