Best Tours & activities in Lisbon (2026)

A guided tour is a good way to get your bearings in Lisbon, especially on the first day. Lisbon Walker, running since 2005, offers daily English-language walks from Praça do Comércio, including the old town of Alfama and Mouraria and a tour themed on wartime espionage. Food is the other popular theme: Taste of Lisboa runs food walks, cooking classes and dinners in a local home, while Culinary Backstreets leads long, immersive walks through Mouraria and Graça, the port district and the cuisines of Portugal's former colonies.

For small groups, We Hate Tourism Tours caps every experience at six people, with van tours of the city, a responsible walking tour and a day trip to Sintra and Cascais. Inside Lisbon has a wide range, from walking tours and tuk-tuk rides to sunset sailing, dolphin watching and day trips to Sintra, Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos. Book ahead in high season, check meeting points and what is included in the price, and wear comfortable shoes, as nearly every tour involves hills and cobbles. Day trips are best scheduled early in your stay, leaving later days free for wandering.
