Lisbon Private Full-Day City Tour with Cristo Rei and Belem｜Portugal

Your day begins with a visit to Eduardo VII Park, the largest park in central Lisbon, offering sweeping panoramic views over the downtown grid and the Tagus River. Here, learn about the devastating 1755 earthquake and how it fundamentally reshaped the city’s architecture and history.

Head down into the historic heart of the city to explore Rossio Square and stand before the medieval fortress-like Lisbon Cathedral. Continue through the traditional quarters, stopping at elevated viewpoints to take in the scenery of the Graça and Baixa neighborhoods, alongside the hilltop São Jorge Castle.

Travel through the lively streets of Bairro Alto before leaving the north bank. Cross the Tagus River via the iconic 25 de Abril suspension bridge to visit the National Sanctuary of Christ the King (Cristo Rei). Enjoy time to admire the views of the Lisbon skyline from the south bank before heading back across the river for a lunch break in the historic district of Belém.

In Belém, sample an authentic Pastel de Belém, the famous traditional Portuguese custard tart, at the legendary local bakery. Following this, discover the Manueline architecture of the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbol of Portugal’s maritime power during the Age of Discoveries. Conclude the day by exploring the exterior grounds of the defensive Belém Tower and the waterfront Monument to the Discoveries.
