Lisbon Private Shore Excursion: City Tour by Minivan Including Food and Wine Tastings

DUE TO SOME TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS IN THE COMING MONTHS IN THE CENTRE OF LISBON, SOME PARTS OF THE ROUTE MIGHT BE IMPOSSIBLE DO TO! Lisbon is a sight to behold. The city of half a million people reveals the empire it headed in centuries past and boasts large Baroque churches, squares with faded grandeur and a seaside ripe for long romantic strolls. This 4-hour guided private shore excursion takes you to the main sites and landmarks of this European capital, as well as through the centuries of the city’s history. It concludes with delicious Portuguese snacks including a cod cake, a sweet pastry and port.
