What's included

About the Alfama tuk tuk tour

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest neighborhood: a maze of steep, narrow streets that survived the 1755 earthquake and still feels like a village. On foot it means a lot of climbing. In a private electric tuk tuk you see the best of it in 90 minutes, with a local guide telling the stories behind each corner.

This is the tour we recommend for a first visit or a short stay. You get the cathedral, the castle hill, the Fado streets and the city's most famous viewpoints in one easy ride.
