Feira da Ladra

The "Feira da Ladra", is a flea market, an open-air bazaar where you can find everything, absolutely everything.

The local markets have always been quite popular in Lisbon, since ancient times, due to the geographical position of the city, moving from one district to another wasn't so simple. Even today, in many districts, are quite popular the "weekly markets".

But why "Feira da Ladra" is so special? Because when you are there you can feel the sensation of going back in time ... or at least that's how I imagine the sea's markets of the past centuries: disorganized, with every kind of goods and people trading on the price in a thousand different languages.

All immersed in the spectacular setting of Alfama and Graça, among ancient buildings of many colors, the Pantheon and the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora.

Choose to visit "Feira da ladra" in your personal tour, come with us, create your visit, be yourself!

Street Art

 

In Lisbon the street art isn't only protected, but sometimes even encouraged! For example, in this street of the city center, the artists have panels on which they can paint their works and, every six months, the panels are changed. In this way, the street artists are happy for the opportunity to show their works to the world and the municipality because the walls of the city are not dirty!

If you like street art choose to do the "street art tour", or ask us to include some streets, such as this, in your personal tour.

Choose what you want see, help us to organize YOUR personal tour, be yourself!

 

Walking around Alfama

Alfama, district of history, tradition and music is perhaps the "bairro" most beautiful and fascinating of Lisbon.

Walking in the ancient streets, full of silences and colors, is a unique experience: squares, terraces, historic buildings are the setting for this tour, while restaurants and bars are the better places to rest and taste typical Portuguese food and drinks. The restaurants and bars, often family managed, tell a different Lisbon from the tourist capital of the Baixa or Expo, they show the people who live here, the same who have always lived here. Traditional food and drink (at local prices ... so cheap) are also accompanied by the famous Portuguese music called Fado, whose notes and melodies describe the picturesque sites of Alfama. 

The tour of the Alfama is especially recommended for those who like walking outdoors, for travelers who prefer the "journey" rather than the "destination" ... because Alfama has always been a place of passage.
During the tour you can taste local products and visit ancient palaces and squares, listen to Fado, feel and listen (along the way) the history of the district as well as recent events.

The tour of the Alfama is easy to insert within a "major tour" including, for example, a visit to the Castle, Graça, or Mouraria (etc.), so we can create your personal tour, prepared "for" and "with "you, according to your needs, expectations and interests.

ERASMUS SECRET SPOTS

Tired of the usual party? Do you want to see "one side" of Lisbon that you will remember forever?

Erasmus life is amazing, especially in a city like Lisbon! Party, music, beach, surfing, nightlife, a fantastic weather in a wonderful place. However, after the first few months of erasmus life, I noticed (and I tried) as it leaves a sense of emptiness ... we have the impression of not really knowing the city, not to frequent the same places of the Portuguese, not understand the "real" Lisbon's life.

That's why we decided to organize a series of short visits in English and in Italian (basically Sunday afternoon) for all those who want to see real "Secret Spots" of Lisbon accompanied by young guides who will answer to all your curiosity and will tell the Lisbon's secrets.
