Lisbon
Lisbon Tour
The Pombaline downtown, Alfama, the viewpoints and the Tagus light. The capital in detail, unhurried and crowd-free.
Duration: Half-day / Full day
Weekend Treasure offers private tours where culture, history and gastronomy move in unison. We begin in the grid of the Pombaline downtown, pass the Lisbon Cathedral and make an essential stop at São Jorge Castle. We descend the steep stairways of Alfama, the oldest quarter, where fado echoes through the streets. You will taste the legendary Pastéis de Belém, sip a Ginjinha in Rossio and shop along Chiado. Lisbon is the city that never sleeps — book now and travel first class through the capital.

Testimonials
What they say
Our driver knew every corner of Lisbon. No queues, no stress — just the city unfolding. Flawless from start to finish.
Sintra in a day seemed impossible until we travelled with them. Palaces, Cabo da Roca and the sea, all unhurried. Highly recommend.
He was waiting at the airport with our name. Spotless car, smooth ride to the hotel. The best way to arrive in Portugal.
