Liberdade, the incredible Lisbon Boulevard - Private Walking Tour (opens in a new tab)

3 h

This tour explores Lisbon’s infatuation with Europe - and especially with France - in the last quarter of the 19th century. The opening of a majestic train station in Downtown allowing a direct connection to Paris became a clear sign of progress. But equally or more important was to recreate in Lisbon the culture, the elegance and the cosmopolitan magic of the City of Light. This urge for the so-called Civilization meant, on more pragmatic grounds, a replica of a French Boulevard in the heart of the Portuguese capital. This implied building a constellation of imposing buildings decorated with greenery, public art and street furniture. Today the Liberty Avenue area has the highest concentration of upmarket shops, luxury hotels and large companies offices. However, many locals never got accustomed to this transplanted French urbanscape and even today the city inhabitants have a nonlinear relationship with its main avenue.

Lisbon From the 1755 Tsunami to the Age of Tourism - Private walking tour (opens in a new tab)

4 3 h

This tour offers a perfect introduction to the "infamous" 1755 earthquake - a time machine style of ride that will make you zig zag through the memories of a city stuck by a dreadful natural disaster. This is not virtual reality, but the true intimate experience of a city where everything is before or after 1755. The Portuguese capital was the most stunning city in Europe during the Maritime Discoveries era, which started in the early 15th century. However, on November 1, 1755 this cosmopolitan city was ravaged by a hideous earthquake, followed by a tsunami - the first such event fully documented in modern European history. The city lost no time looking back and just a couple of years later started the herculean task of its own resurrection, rebuilding from scratch the Downtown and the surrounding area. In this tour we explore and compare a selection of amazing Medieval buildings that survived with the majestic Rational city planned and rebuilt after the tragedy.
