Explore the heart of both historic and modern Lisbon, beginning at Rossio Square, where you’ll learn how the city was devastated by the 18th-century earthquake and rebuilt into the vibrant city it is today. Admire the Obelisk in Restauradores Square, commemorating Portugal’s restoration of independence from Spain in 1640. Marvel at the striking Neo-Manueline design of the Central Train Station. Discover the story of the Carnation Revolution of 1974 at Carmo Square, the site where Portugal’s long-standing dictatorship came to an end. Stroll through the elegant Chiado district, with its iconic cafés, boutiques, theaters, and bookstores. Meander through Alfama’s labyrinth of narrow streets and hidden squares, where the charm of centuries past lingers. Enjoy a wine tasting and tapa along the way.
