🚶♂️ Today, I embark on the “Free Walking Tours Lisbon” by Tours Of My Life, lured by the promise of essential history, fun facts, and – let’s be honest – the free Pastel de Nata. Starting by the Camões Monument, we dived into the historical neighborhoods of Bairro Alto, Chiado, Baixa, and Alfama. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours, which is just enough time to start questioning your life choices as you navigate the uphill streets of Lisbon. Our guide was a walking encyclopedia of Portuguese culture, doling out facts with a passion that almost made me forget about my aching feet.
🍴 Then there was the “Lisbon 4 Foodies Tour”. This one’s a 4-hour gastronomic marathon starting by the Rossio Train Station. You’ll try over 25 different foods and beverages, ensuring that you roll rather than walk back to your hotel. From Codfish to Sardines, and from Port Wine to Ginjinha, it’s an intensive course in Portuguese flavors. The tour is perfect for those who like their history served with a side of cholesterol.
