Auto-pedestrian tour of Lisbon
Description:
A car tour with a Russian-speaking guide around the city of Lisbon is perfect for those who do not have much time to explore Portugal.
Or you are an independent traveler, you need three and a half hours to see the main areas of the capital of Portugal and get answers to the questions that I will do in the next 3 days without a guide.
The purpose of this tour is to see the famous lower part of the capital Downtown, Baisha Pombalina, which was recreated after a serious earthquake that occurred in the 18th century.
A guide to Lisbon will tell you the secrets of building new and earthquake-resistant houses, which later for 200 years withstood other powerful earthquakes and today are the pride of the country.
In addition to the lower city, a guided car tour of Lisbon will pass through the ancient quarters of Alfama and Moraria. To this day, Alfama and Moraria convey the ancient spirit of the Portuguese capital. Narrow, twisted streets, dwellings with small windows and hung underwear, rare, ancient trams, the smell of fried sardines, the sad melody of fado are the hallmarks of the most ancient areas of the capital of Portugal. At the end of this part of the tour, we will make a short stop at one of the best observation platforms, by the way, to which an independent traveler will not always get. Unforgettable, beautiful views of the city await you, you can make memorable photos that you will show to your family and friends when you return to your home.
The next two areas of the excursion tour, Shiado and Bairo Altu.
They are no less interesting than Alfama and Moraria, rather more modern. Today, Shiado is one of the most important shopping centers of the capital. Your guide to Lisbon will tell you the most important facts about the creation of this area: where in the 13th century the university of the city was located, about the Carnation Revolution, will show the hidden passage to the famous elevator of 1902 and much more.
A stone's throw from Shiado is Bairo Altu. Bairo Altu lives as follows: in the morning before 11:00, everything is more or less calm, then he begins to come to life, crowds of tourists stroll through the streets, inspect the squares of the church, buy something in shops. From 8:00 p.m., life boils in restaurants, then in bars, then clubs and all this “ugliness” continues until 8:00 in the morning.
The final part of our tour is a drive under the famous bridge on April 25 to one of the wonders of Portugal, the Monastery of Hieronymites, where there are very important burials of outstanding Portuguese. On the way to the monastery, the route of your car excursion will pass near the embankment of the Tagus River, past the docks (discos, clubs, bars) and a Russian-speaking guide in Lisbon will show the Mercadou Ribeiro market and the famous time-out food court where you can return and have lunch.
The last two stops are a monument built in honor of the Portuguese discoverers and the world-famous Belen Tower. You will hear amazing stories about the Portuguese who created the world’s first colonial empire and how they conquered the new world. This tour is very dynamic, it is worth booking because it is also suitable for those who can not move around the city of Lisbon due to age restrictions or cannot tolerate the heat. For those who travel independently, it is also a very important tour.
In a short time, at a reasonable price, you will travel to the most important areas of the capital of Portugal, you will have a plan for three days to visit yourself, without a guide. Most of the car tour is built to see those places in Lisbon where the route of the so-called City tours, red or yellow, buses does not run.
