Description

It can be difficult to find a really informative and inexpensive tour of Lisbon, Portugal but like Vasco de Gama, you've made a great discovery!   Our tour of all the essential sights of Lisbon will immerse you in the city and culture that draws the editors of www.noambit.com back time and time again.  The history is rich, the views are amazing and the public transportation is quirkier, cheaper and just plain more fun than even anything Disney could dream up.  We'll take you from one hilltop where you can sample port wine in a former palace to another where you can wander the ruins of a castle.  You'll have the option to hop on historical trams and eccentric elevators or hike through the streets and churches whose history spans for centuries.  If there's one way to describe this tour, it would have to be that the choice is up to you!  Go at your own pace, choose your own path, see what you want to see when you want to see it...and do it all at a fraction of the cost you'd spend on other tours. 
 Your download will come with a printable pdf map created exclusively for this tour
