Half-Day Private Tour in Lisbon

Visit Lisbon’s top attractions in the comfort of your own private, chauffeur-driven vehicle with this half-day tour of the city. You’ll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Jeronimos Monastery, the grand Belém Tower, and the charming viewpoints and squares in town.

The “Viewpoint of the Lady of the Mount” is at the top of Lisbon’s tallest hill. The name derives from a glass-encased image of the Virgin that stands in front of a charming white chapel dedicated to St. Gens, a bishop martyred in Roman times.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to take some beautiful pictures.

Lisbon’s cathedral (or the Church of Santa Maria Maior) is one of the city’s oldest and most robust monuments. It dates back to 1147, and survived battles and the devastating earthquake of 1755. It suffered countless alterations over the centuries, and ended up with a mix of the Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to visit the cathedral and take some beautiful pictures.

Lisbon’s liveliest pedestrian street is paved with Portugal’s traditional cobblestone designs, and links the city’s two main squares (Rossio and Praça do Comércio). It’s a shopping street where international brands coexist with age-old shops, many of them with wonderful decades-old signs.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to walk around and take some beautiful pictures.

Lisbon’s “Market Square” is still often called “Terreiro do Paço” (“Palace Square”) by locals, although there hasn’t been a palace here since 1755, when a devastating earthquake destroyed the royal residence and all the buildings around it. Luckily, the royal family wasn’t in town that day, and moved to a new palace up on a hill above Belém.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to walk around and take some beautiful pictures.

It looks like a small fairytale castle rising from the river, but this tower was built in 1515 as a beacon and fortress to guard the entrance to Lisbon’s harbor. It also served as a prison, and as the departure point for many of the “voyages of discovery” that took Portugal’s navigators to previously uncharted territories.
The discovery of Brazil, global trade, and the colonization of parts of Africa and Asia, gave the king an unprecedented wealth, so the monument was eventually embellished with motifs glorifying the age. Carved into the stone are twisted ropes, knots, crosses, and armillary spheres, plus a rhinoceros that inspired a famous drawing by Durer, which is now in London’s British Museum. Apparently an Indian king offered the beast to the Portuguese king in 1513, and upon its arrival in Lisbon it caused great curiosity and fascination all over Europe.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to visit the monument (optional) and take some beautiful pictures.

Originally a temporary structure honoring Prince Henry the Navigator (who died exactly 500 years earlier) and glorifying the feats of Portuguese explorers for the propagandistic 1940 “Portuguese World Exhibition,” this monument was rebuilt in concrete and limestone in 1960 to stand as a reminder of the “Age of Discovery.”

One of the first monuments in Europe to be listed as a World Heritage Site , this monastery was built in the 1500s and is Lisbon’s must-see marvel. It was paid for with the profits made in the spice trade with the East, and was home to the monks of the Order of Saint Jerome (the “Jerónimos” or Hieronymites). These monks were supposed to pray for the king’s soul, and responsible for the recipe of the famous custard tarts (the “pastéis de Belém” or “pastéis de nata”), that are sold at a pastry shop down the street and now available all over Portugal and the world.

At this stop you’ll have the opportunity to visit the monument (optional) and take some beautiful pictures.
