Itinerary
Day 1
Afternoon into evening walking tour: meet in central Lisbon and move on foot through Mouraria, local tastings, hilltop sunset, and live music at Chapitô.
Stroll through Mouraria — street art, stories & hidden gems
Guided walk through the multicultural Mouraria district: alleyways, murals, and short historical anecdotes about migration, community, and local arts.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes — many streets are cobbled and there are short stair sections.
- Bring a small bottle of water; there will be short walking segments between stops.
- Carry a charged phone for photos; some murals are off narrow side streets with limited lighting.
Dine like a local — family-owned African restaurant tasting
Taste one of the included local samplings at a longstanding family-run African restaurant referenced in the tour notes. The guide will introduce the dish and the family connection to Lisbon’s immigrant communities.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, tell the guide before the tasting so the host can accommodate where possible.
- This tasting is shared-style and intended as a sample portion — plan any full meals accordingly.
- Bring small change for any personal drinks or extras not included in the tour.
Visit to a cultural centre / alternative bar (orientation)
Short visit to an emblematic alternative cultural venue in the Castle district to hear about local music scenes and community programs before the viewpoint stop.
Tips from local experts:
- This stop may include brief indoor time — if sensitive to noise, let your guide know.
- Carry a light layer; Lisbon's hilltop breezes can be cooler after walking.
- If interested in Chapitô’s social programs, ask the guide for brief background—they will share how the venue supports local initiatives.
Graca hilltop sunset view
Climb up to the Graça/Largo Monte viewpoint for panoramic city views timed for golden hour or sunset.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a short, moderately steep climb with some stairs — allow mobility time between the cultural stop and the viewpoint.
- Sunset times vary seasonally; the guide will time this stop to maximize light for photos.
- Keep valuables close on viewpoints — areas can be busy with tourists and locals at sunset.
Chapito live music experience — jam session / world beats
Arrive at Chapitô for an extended listening and participatory session when live music is available. Expect samba, Afro-Brazilian beats, and local jam sets led by community musicians.
Tips from local experts:
- Live music nights vary; some evenings are seated and others are standing — the guide will advise on setup on arrival.
- If you plan to dance, wear comfortable shoes; the venue has limited space for large groups.
- Chapitô sometimes hosts fundraising or community events; respect performers and local guests when photographing or recording.
Wrap-up, live-music info & concierge Q&A
Conclusion of the walking experience: the guide shares information about upcoming evening performances, answers questions, and offers concierge-style tips for exploring Lisbon further.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide for specific evening performance suggestions; they can confirm free-entry options when available.
- If you’d like follow-up recommendations (routes, late-night transport), request them before the tour ends.
- Plan your return transport in advance — central Lisbon taxis and public transit operate late, but routes vary by neighborhood.
