What it is
A free route from SANDEMANs NEW Europe with freelance guides: you don't pay at the start and the tip at the end is voluntary. It leaves from the statue in Praça do Comércio and moves through the Pombaline Baixa up to the Bairro Alto.
What it covers
According to the company, it tells the story of the 1755 earthquake, the rebuilt Baixa, the viewpoint of the Santa Justa lift, the Portuguese Inquisition, the age of discoveries, the Salazar dictatorship and the Carnation Revolution. The website gives between two and three hours, and where it ends is unclear: one part says Praça do Comércio and the itinerary ends in the Bairro Alto. Ask when you book. The slopes of Alfama are left for another morning, with the viewpoints route.
How to book
Online at neweuropetours.eu or by going to the meeting point. The company says it runs in any weather. It is not wheelchair accessible. It runs in English and Spanish.
