Lisbon Small-Group Food and Culture Tour
Explore the undiscovered neighborhoods of Lisbon with this small-group food tour of Baixa and Mouraria. Head away from the tourist traps and explore the largely undiscovered backstreets of Lisbon where locals spend their days, and taste delicious Portuguese foods paired with wines and beers you won't find anywhere else.
Highlights
- ✓Enjoy seven tastings at five different eateries
- ✓Benefit from your expert guide's insights into Lisbon's culinary culture
- ✓Enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a small-group tour
- ✓Go beyond the guidebooks to places most travelers miss
What you'll see & do
- ✓Along this iconic street, you'll learn about the rich history of Moorish influence in Lisbon. Also known for its traditional restaurants and theaters, it reflects the city’s classic dining culture and vibrant atmosphere.
- ✓Step into a no-frills tavern where regulars have gathered for decades. You'll try a fireman's chorizo and a warm bifana pork sandwich, paired with a glass of wine or beer while your guide sets the scene for the tour ahead.
- ✓Pass through Largo de São Domingos, one of Baixa's oldest squares, framed by a church whose history stretches back centuries. Your guide points out the marks that fires, earthquakes and revolutions have left on this corner of the city.
- ✓Duck into Lisbon's longest-running Mozambican kitchen, where recipes trace centuries of trade between Portugal and East Africa. Sample Portuguese samosas alongside a glass of wine or beer, a taste of the city's more surprising side.
- ✓Walk through Mouraria, one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods and the birthplace of Fado Music. Explore its narrow streets, rich multicultural spirit, and discover a back lane filled with striking murals, which celebrate local residents and the area’s living history.
- ✓Settle into a traditional Fado House with deep roots in Lisbon's fado tradition, where you'll try a chilled octopus salad and 'Bacalhau à Brás', Portugal's beloved shredded cod and egg dish, paired with a glass of wine or beer.
- ✓Arguably one of the best viewpoints of the city, overlooking Lisbon’s downtown area and Tagus river (not included in all departure times).
- ✓A Portuguese food tour would not be complete without their most famous pastry, the pastel de nata! This custard tart with a crackling caramelized top is best enjoyed in one perfect bite.
