Just beside Lisbon’s downtown district, the Old Lisbon area is where the city’s history truly comes alive. With its narrow cobbled streets, traditional tiled façades, and centuries-old buildings, this neighborhood preserves the charm of old-world Lisbon. Here you can explore authentic cafés, local shops, and hidden viewpoints overlooking the Tagus River. It’s the perfect place to wander, experience the city’s soul, and feel the timeless atmosphere that makes Lisbon so unique.

Next to the historic downtown, New Lisbon was built after the devastating 1755 earthquake, marking the beginning of a new era for the city. Designed with elegant squares, wide avenues, and neoclassical architecture, this district reflects the vision of the Marquis of Pombal, who rebuilt Lisbon with modern urban planning. Today, it blends history and sophistication — a lively area filled with cafés, shops, and grand buildings that showcase the rebirth and resilience of the Portuguese capital.

Located on the banks of the Tagus River, Belém is one of Lisbon’s most iconic and historic districts, deeply linked to the Age of Portuguese Discoveries. From here, great explorers like Vasco da Gama set sail to uncover new worlds, leaving behind a legacy of adventure and innovation. The area is home to magnificent monuments such as the Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery, and the Monument to the Discoveries, all celebrating Portugal’s maritime glory. Visitors can also enjoy the famous Pastéis de Belém while admiring this district’s blend of history, culture, and scenic river views.
EXCELENTE Com base em 189 avaliações Publicado em Jo FVerificada Amazing tour of Lisbon with excellent guide. Obrigada Francisco! This was a brilliant tour with Francisco, an independent guide. He knows Lisbon like the back of his hand and was able to show us the main highlights of the city, as well as provide amazing and engaging overview of its history. He was very professional from the outset and was able to accommodate last minute changes to the booking and adapt the tour to suit our needs. It’s a shame our time in Lisbon was limited, there was so much more to see and Francisco would be the perfect guide to do this. I would definitely recommend Francisco / Lisbon Day Trip to anyone visiting the city!Publicado em brodicaVerificada What a fabulous tour - highly recommend Highly recommend Francisco as your guide and driver when exploring surrounds of Lisbon!We were arriving in Lisbon from a cruise ship. Francisco met us at the cruise terminal (punctual) in his very comfortable, panoramic vehicle. We spent 5 hours exploring Sintra and taking in the sights of the surrounding area. We had very wet weather and Francisco tailored the day for us to suit the rainy day. Super polite and respectful. Francisco ensures you have a great experience. Thanks Francisco for an amazing day for us creating memoriesPublicado em Renee KVerificada Tur of Fatima Very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the country, the city, and Fatima. Helped us arrange another tour as well which was equally fun!! Would highly recommend.Publicado em Katie FVerificada Thorough, Welcoming, and Memorable! We picked Francisco’s tour based on his stellar TripAdvisor reviews and are happy to add to the positive praise! Francisco has so much knowledge to share, and even though we booked him for a tour of Obidos and Nazaré out of Lisbon, he gave us a ton of history about the places we already visited in Lisbon and sent us an itinerary of places to visit in Alfama on our last day. His car is fully equipped to carry your group in comfort, and he will tailor to your preferences. He made a great recommendation (and reservation) for lunch in Nazaré and took fantastic pictures on his phone that we will treasure forever. In addition, he referred us to one of his colleagues for a tour in Porto, as we were leaving Lisbon shortly after our tour. Overall, you will not regret booking your tour with Francisco to guide you around Lisbon or show you the sights outside of the city.Publicado em Doyle TVerificada Well worth it Great beach town tour. We were driven up to the front of the lighthouse where the giant waves are viewed. Nice little surfing museum there. Afterward, we were taken to a fresh fish restaurant that was really good. Then walked along the beach while eating gelato! Oh, and the fortress city of Obidos stop was also a great stop. Our driver Fracisco was awesome.

My wife and I met Francisco by chance on our first trip to Portugal in February 2022. We were walking to the Time Out Market in Lisbon when a lone Tuk-tuk driver approached us with pre-printed, laminated cards showing the attractions we would see on one of his tours. This driver was Francisco. We chose the most comprehensive tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved Portugal so much that we decided to bring our children there in June. The first thing I did when we arrived in Portugal was contact Francisco and book a visit to Sintra. It’s a joy to be with Francisco. He is attentive, knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and simply a great guy. Our tour of Sintra was spectacular, made even more so by Francisco’s ability to get in and out of the area seamlessly and to place us exactly where we needed to be to quickly access the attractions. Throughout the journey to and from Sintra, Francisco kept us informed about the areas we were passing through and pointed out places we might want to return to later. We trusted him every step of the way and were not disappointed. Your choice of restaurants was perfect and a wonderful way to end the Sintra experience before moving on to Cascais. My whole family recommends that you take a tour with Francisco. You’ll be glad you did.
