    In Lisbon's Baixa and Bairro Alto you will follow a self-guided audio tour that brings the city's stories to life at your own pace. As you move through the streets you'll learn how troops once marched around miniature wooden models to test buildings against earthquakes, and how the rebuilt city reflects what they discovered. The audio takes you beyond the obvious so you hear details most guided groups rush past. Along the way you'll hear why a monk's cherry liqueur recipe became a local favourite, visit a church whose painted ceiling tricks the eye, and learn how Portugal's tram system has American roots. You'll gain insights into Fado music, Port wine and the famous mosaic pavements. The tour works on your schedule with no fixed start time or group to keep up with, so you can pause for a pastel de nata, linger at a viewpoint or take the funicular instead of the climb. It is well suited to first-time visitors. Over 20,000 travellers have explored with our audio tours, and they come with a full refund guarantee.

    This Baixa and Chiado walking tour takes you through the elegant heart of Lisbon, beginning at Praça do Comércio as the meeting point. Baixa’s straight avenues reflect the 18th-century rebuilding after the 1755 earthquake and one of Europe’s first earthquake‑resistant urban plans.
