Things to do in Lisbon, Central Portugal: The Best Multi-day Tours

August 2, 2021 Brandee Mangan

The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

My wife and I had a great time with Gabriel! He picked us up from our hotel in Albufeira for our transfer to Lisbon. We stopped for a visit in Evora on the way. We enjoyed Gabriel’s company on the way to Lisbon. He provided us with suggestions in Evora (restaurant, olive oil tasting, sites,...) I would definitely call Gabriel next time I’m in Algarve.

My wife and I have just returned early from a trip that incorporated a tour through Spain and Portugal organised by Portugal Trails. Although the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic prevented us from completing the tour, we were highly impressed by the thoughtful and meticulous pre-planning provided by the company, the quality of all bookings and recommendations as well as the attention to our welfare during the growing emergency. The cancellations and refunding of unused portions of the tour were efficiently and quickly completed with a minimum of fuss. I cannot recommend this company too highly.

We were in Lisbon for five days. After a couple of days of just wandering, we decided to take the yellow bus. We paid for three days which was 49 euros. It seemed alot of money but it was worth it. We spent one day on the tourist tram. We were the only two people on the tram, which was great. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to go along the whole route. It was fantastic as it took you all through the old town. We saw a couple of places we like the look of and so we then got local trams (included in the price of the yellow bus ticket) to head to one place (Graca) for lunch and then another tram to Estoril where there were some lovely gardens to just chill. The next day we took the purple line in the morning and then in the afternoon we took the riverboat cruise. Fantastic and really loved the river cruise. The final day we took the blue bus and saw a completely different part of Lisbon. You can do a 2 day option, I would definitely choose the tram and river cruise and then probably the blue bus.

While the title seems to say it all, to put it into context, we have been traveling for 30 years and always arrange for our own guides even if we are on a cruise. Not only did Paulo have a tremendous depth of knowledge about both the past and present of Portugal, he had the ability to tell the story in a concise and relevant manner that was engrossing. There were a number times during our day with Paulo when we would say to ourselves, "This is the best guide that we have ever had"! And indeed he was.
