Half Day Lisbon Guided City Tour - Group TripExplore > Portugal > Lisbon > Half Day Lisbon Guided City Tour - Group Trip
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. This half-day tour allows you to discover Lisbon, capital of Portugal, colonized by many civilizations throughout the centuries: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, and, finally, the Portuguese after 1147. 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. - Cruise ship passengers will be met at the cruise terminal by their guide, who will then escort them to the touring vehicle, about a 5-10 minute walk from the pier. Hotel guests will be picked up at their hotel. - 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.
