5 THINGS TO DO AND SEE IN LISBON


Lisbon is a city full of charm, history, and culture. If you’re planning to visit this city as ancient as it is wonderful, you’re on the right site to do it in style! In this article, we’ll give you some tips on how to explore Lisbon and, of course, how Spinach Tours can make your visit even more special.

1. Start in Bairro Alto
Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s most vibrant areas. Known for its lively nightlife, this neighborhood also has charming streets to explore during the day. At Spinach, we want to show you the best of Lisbon, so we’ve created some routes through the old part of the city, one of which passes through this stunning neighborhood! Let our electric car take you through the narrow, history-filled streets of Bairro Alto while it tells you stories and curiosities about every corner you pass.

2. Marquês de Pombal and Avenida da Liberdade
Marquês de Pombal Square is one of Lisbon’s central points and a highlight of your route. From here, you can head down Avenida da Liberdade, one of the most beautiful avenues in the city, filled with luxury shops, hotels, and cafes. With Spinach, you’ll pass through here on both the Avenidas Novas route and our group tour for up to six cars. Our tip? Take a moment to stop at the top of Eduardo VII Park and soak in the view of Lisbon city and the Tagus River. Lisbon is full of magical spots, and this is one of them.

3. Explore Alfama, the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon
Alfama is a journey back in time. This is the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon, full of narrow alleys, typical old houses, and a stunning view over the Tagus River. This month, June, Alfama comes alive with the festivities of the Popular Saints. With Spinach Tours, you’ll be able to navigate Alfama’s labyrinthine streets and discover the best viewpoints. Our audio guide in the Spinach car will tell you fascinating stories about the culture and traditions of this neighborhood.
