Private Tour: Best of Lisbon by Sidecar

See the best of Lisbon in an exciting an unforgettable way – in a sidecar! Relax as your private chauffeur takes you around Lisbon on a three-hour guided tour with stops along the way to take pictures and learn interesting facts from your chauffeur.

Start with a visit to the historic district of Belem, by the waterfront. Drive past the famous 16th-century Tower of Belem and the Jerónimos Monastery, two great examples of Manueline art. Stop at a local patisserie to sample the pastel de nata (custard tart), one of Portugal's most famous pastries (own expense; morning and afternoon tours only).

Continue with a visit to Alfama, a Moorish neighborhood and the oldest district in Lisbon, followed by a ride through Bairro Alto – Lisbon’s bohemian district – and the aristocratic Chiado neighborhood.

Finish your tour with a visit to Baixa and Rossio, in downtown Lisbon, a lively area where locals gather at night, and ride along the Avenida da Liberdade and Marques de Pombal toward Lisbon center. In the evening tour, stop here for a taste of the famous Ginjinha liqueur (own expense), before you finish your tour!

Upgrade to a full-day tour
Upgrade to a full-day sidecar tour to make the most of your time in Lisbon. With an extra three hours to spend in Lisbon, see all the highlights of the half-day tour then enjoy a delicious Portuguese lunch at a local restaurant (own expense).

Next, relax on the sidecar as you cross the River Tagus along the 15th of April Bridge, a 1.5-mile (2.2-km) suspension bridge. Take in views of Lisbon from the municipality of Almada, and continue toward the Cristo Rei Sanctuary, which boasts great views of Lisbon from the distance.
