What To Expect

Time Out Market Lisboa
From 1882 to 2010 it was Mercado da Ribeira, a big market where people used to buy fresh food - from fish to vegetables. The last decade, it became one of the trendiest places in town to go for a drink or meal. In just one open space, you have a selection of dozens of restaurants, from Portuguese delicacies to international food.

25 de Abril Bridge
Enjoy the ride along the Tagus River and the view of 25th April Bridge, inaugurated in 1966. It is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (USA) because they are both suspension bridges of similar colour.

• Admission Ticket Free

Torre de Belem

Mosteiro dos Jeronimos

Padrao dos Descobrimentos
Located along the river where ships departed to explore and trade with India and the Orient, the monument celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. It was built between November 1958 and January 1960 to celebrate the fifth centennial anniversary of the death of Infante Henry the Navigator.

In no other place in the world, you can try Pastéis de Belém. It's a trademark and the original custard tart, from which all others Pastéis de Nata derive from.

MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology
The front building of this museum, like a wave of the Tagus River, is absolutely sublime. The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology was open in 2016 and includes the thermoelectric power station nearby.

Lovely tuk tuk tour
shelley K, 25-06-2022
Wonderful caring guide, saw the real lisbon and enjoyed the local pastry. Even in the rain we were taken care of with blankets to keep us warm
Fun trip to Belem, guide took his time

We had a lovely day with our guide Mário Faria. He really took his time and had a lot to tell us about the various sights. Our kids had a fun day as well.

Taking us through the back entrance to get Pastel the Nata in Belem, skipping the long line was definitely a plus.

The TukTuk was electric, which meant a smooth and quiet ride. Would definitely recommend!
Great way to explore Belem area

We had a great tour with John. He was so knowledgeable and provided us with great information and history. The tour was a great way to see the sights in a different way and avoid the crowded trams. I highly recommend taking a tuk tuk tour with this company.
Great experience

Miguel is an expert guide erudite in his knowledge of Portugal and European history, well versed in cultures of the world and articulate in English (and probably other languages as well)
Tuk tuk tours are great for the silent, fast and safe ride around town. Would do it again.
Awesome tour
