Lisbon & Belem: Private Full-Day Tour with tickets and Boat Trip

Portugal's capital city of Lisbon is built upon seven hills known as the seven giants — São Jorge, São Vicente, São Roque, Santo André, Santa Catarina, Chagas e Sant'Ana — all of them visible when arriving in Lisbon by the river. This private walking tour of Lisbon & Belém will take you through the city, past its iconic landmarks, castles, and gardens and will include a River Cruise to boot.

On your private tour, you will:

• Enjoy an all-inclusive and fully guided private tour with an expert, licensed guide;
• Enjoy a tour of Lisbon Castle, and enjoy the spectacular views over the city (tickets included);
• See the top sites of the city centre, from the city's highest viewpoint to the waterfront pier in the historic commercial centre;
• Brief stop at Sé Cathedral, often just known as Sé—one of the city’s oldest and most well-known sites, which has withstood several natural disasters, including the 9.0 earthquake of 1755;
• Walk down streets lined with artisanal shops and learn about the craft of the colourful Portuguese azulejo tiles;
• Enjoy time in the old harbour and Praça do Comércio, where the royal palace stood for over two hundred years until 1755 and one of the city’s most recognisable squares;
• Learn of Portugal's rich Naval history and its age of world exploration in the Belem neighbourhood;
• See the UNESCO-listed Torre de Belém and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos (from the outside);
• Enjoy a fully guided tour of Jerónimos Monastery Church and Cloister (tickets included);
• Enjoy a Cruise along the Tagus River - see the 25th of April bridge and the Cristo Rei statue - accompanied by your tour guide (tickets included)

From the imposing São Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city’s faded pastel-coloured buildings, Tagus Estuary and Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. Arguably one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Lisbon is a city of colourful balconies and views, trams and cobbled streets. Belém is a laid-back area of Lisbon on the Tagus River, known for its colourful houses and breathtaking landmarks that recall Lisbon’s seafaring history, like the 16th-century Tower of Belém. Your tour will end after the cruise back to central Lisbon.
