Pre-Cruise Half Day Lisbon Guided City Tour - Hotel Pick UpExplore > Portugal > Lisbon > Pre-Cruise Half Day Lisbon Guided City Tour - Hotel Pick Up
OverviewLisbon is culturally rich in history, art, and more. Greater Lisbon has roughly two million people, but for the visitor, the city can be a delightful small-town series of parks, boulevards, and squares. You will see that most of your focus will be in the three neighborhoods that line the downtown harborfront--Baixa, Bairro Alto, and Alfama. Begin the first day of your cruise with this half-day tour of Lisbon. You'll be picked up at your hotel and your luggage handled before beginning your discovery of this capital city of Portugal. Over the years, Lisbon has been colonized by many civilizations throughout the centuries: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, and, finally, the Portuguese after 1147. Your knowledgeable guide will explain its fascinating history and provide a glimpse into modern life here. Visit St. George Castle, including its surrounding quarter, and Alfama, Lisbon's oldest quarter. This city is linked with the heroic deeds of the Portuguese maritime exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries. This was the Age of Discoveries and the Golden Era of Portugal, transforming Lisbon into the opulent center of a vast empire. Part of the wealth from these expeditions was used to build magnificent monuments in the extravagant Manueline architectural style, best typified in Jerónimos Monastery. Some of these monuments can still be seen, especially in the area of Belém. At the conclusion of the tour, you will be dropped off at the cruise ship pier, to begin your adventure at sea. - The price of this tour does not include any admissions, food, or beverages. - Entrance to the Castle of Saint George is €7.5 per person. - Please note: You will be charged an additional supplement for tours taking place on the weekend (Saturday, Sunday) or holidays. See pricing. Days offered: 7 days a week Departures:
