What makes Lisbon Half Day Private Tour a unique experience ?
Alfama is one of the most genuine neighborhoods in Lisbon, its architecture features peculiar characteristics of old and colorful buildings that give it a character of joy and tranquility. Alfama is one of the oldest districts of Lisbon and was founded by the Arabs who gave it the name “Al-hama”, which means ‘source of warm water, good water’. You can’t live a genuine Lisbon experience without getting lost among the alleys and charms of the neighborhood that is considered the heart of the city. As you walk through the cluttered narrow streets of Alfama, you will feel in a small village and witness conversations between neighbors, hear the fado that echoes down the stairs, and see the Tagus in another dimension.
Praça do Comércio is the most important square in Lisbon. For decades, it has been Lisbon’s gateway to maritime commerce. The square was built where the Royal Palace was before it was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755. The face of the Commerce Square is formed by a set of buildings installed on three sides and is open on the south side, looking to the Tagus. Historically there came the merchant boats and this was the port of Lisbon.
The legendary São Roque Church is located in Bairro Alto, in Largo Trindade Coelho, also known as Largo da Santa Casa, in the historic center of cosmopolitan Lisbon. The church began to be built in 1506, next to a cemetery where the plague-dwellers were buried outside the city walls and dedicated to St. Roque, protector of the plague.

The Santa Catarina viewpoint, also known as the Adamastor viewpoint, is situated on one of Lisbon’s seven hills and is famous as a viewpoint and observers retreat. Tradition tells that, in the 16th to 18th centuries, the movement of ships was appreciated, one of them being the imposing departure of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, thus emerging the popular prolocation “see ships from the top of Santa Catarina”.
The Ribeira Market began to work near Cais do Sodré in Lisbon, shortly after the 1755 earthquake, but only in 1882 was the building we know today opened. The building currently occupies about 10,000 square meters, but in the early days of the market the space was punctuated by over a hundred sheds, used as stalls by the fish, vegetable and flower vendors of the city of Lisbon. From the beginning it assumed the role of supplying market of the capital, a function that lost in the beginning of the 21st century with the creation of the Supply Market of the Lisbon Region. Mercado da Ribeira, or 24 July, the name with which it was officially opened, then became a retail market and several areas were adapted to other features. At this time the market also hosts theme fairs, dances and a fairly extensive catering area.
