THE VEHICLE

Tukxi: nimble, open‑air city transport

The tour is conducted in a Tukxi, a small vehicle that blends the spirit of a tuk‑tuk with a three‑wheeled scooter, letting you thread narrow streets and stop easily for views and photos.

THE NEIGHBORHOODS

Alfama, Mouraria and Graça: Lisbon’s layered east

Begin in the Old Town and travel back in time through three of Lisbon’s most colorful historic quarters, each offering distinct streetscapes and local character.

THE WESTERN LEG

Optional Belém excursion: monuments and custard tarts

As an add‑on you can extend the tour west along the Tejo to Belém to see Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery and the Monument to the Discoveries, and—time permitting—sample the famous pastéis de Belém.
