Lisbon River Walk: Sailors, Docks and Pipe Dreams- Private Tour

About this activity

Enjoy a gorgeous and informative 3-hour private walking tour along the Lisbon waterfront. Get personal attention from the guide as you walk past notable landmarks including the Royal Palace and the Docklands. Learn about Portugal’s rich history of exploration as well as the fascist exhibition of 1940.

The tour begins in the Royal Square and the shipyards of the Portuguese Maritime Expansion, the heart of the first Global City. IA little further west, the sea stations of Rocha do Conde de Óbidos and Alcântara evoke a handful of mixed memories, between the fortune of the Age of Discoveries and the sadness of refugees returning from the Colonial War. Finally, it is the operations of the Millennium Urban Renewal that occupy the central stage with design museums, chic outdoor restaurants and extravagant nightclubs defining the new Lisbon by the river.
