Lisbon I – Walking Tour

Descrição:
The tour will begin at Praça do Rossio (Praça Dom Pedro IV), the liveliest area of Lisbon, where you’ll find the most prestigious shops, bars, and restaurants in the city on its side streets. Between Praça do Rossio and Praça da Figueira, we will discover one of Lisbon’s most emblematic churches, the Igreja de São Domingos, a beautiful 13th-century building that has undergone numerous restorations over the centuries. We’ll then head towards Praça dos Restauradores, a square built to commemorate Portugal’s liberation from Spanish rule in 1640, where we’ll discuss the city’s history along the way. We’ll also learn about the fascinating modes of transportation, the Elevador da Glória and the Elevador de Santa Justa, true city attractions, and delve into their history. We’ll also see the Teatro de San Carlos, whose building was constructed between 1792 and 1795 on the ruins of an ancient palace destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, styled after Milan’s La Scala and the San Carlo Theater in Naples. During a tour of the Baixa and Chiado neighborhoods, we’ll also discover the birthplace of Fernando Pessoa, the residence of the famous writer during the last 15 years of his life, now a space dedicated to promoting his work with an important educational mission. The tour will end at Praça do Comércio, Lisbon’s most important square, built on the site previously occupied by the Paço Real, a building destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755.
