About the Chiado & Bairro Alto tuk tuk tour

Chiado and Bairro Alto are Lisbon's creative heart: historic cafés, bookshops, theaters and, at night, the city's liveliest streets. Between them sits Baixa, the elegant grid rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake.

This private tuk tuk tour connects the three, from the riverside square up to the best sunset viewpoint in the center, so you understand how downtown Lisbon fits together before exploring it on your own.
