Itinerary
Day 1
2‑hour private TukTuk itinerary timed for late afternoon / golden hour. Start and end at Avenida da Liberdade 3 (default meeting point).
Meet & quick briefing — Av. da Liberdade 3 (pickup)
Meet your guide next to the Glória Funicular at Avenida da Liberdade 3. Quick welcome, safety briefing and customise the stops to your pace.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide to take a quick portrait here — the boulevard’s tiles and trees make a classy background for couple photos.
- If you prefer hotel pickup, confirm the 3km radius beforehand; otherwise this central spot is easiest for arrivals by taxi.
- Keep small bills ready for a tip at the end; guides appreciate local currency.
Hidden garden pause — Jardim do Torel
A leafy, intimate garden with shaded benches and city views — a calm, romantic first stop to settle in and enjoy a city overview.
Tips from local experts:
- Pick a bench under the plane trees for a quiet moment together away from the crowds.
- If you have a light jacket, put it on the bench for a cosy photo—soft evening light here is very flattering.
- There are stairs to the garden; if mobility is a concern ask the guide to stop nearby for an easier approach.
Golden‑hour panorama — Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
Sweeping terrace with landscaped gardens and one of the best west-facing views — ideal for sunset photos and a romantic toast.
Tips from local experts:
- Request the guide to position the tuk‑tuk for a silhouette photo of you both against the skyline during golden hour.
- Buy a small bottled water from the guide or a nearby kiosk — there are limited vendors after hours.
- There’s a paved, level terrace here — easy to stand and move around for photos; best enjoyed slowly to soak the view.
Quick city viewpoint — Elevador de Santa Justa (observation area)
Short stop at the Santa Justa observation area for an elevated, neo‑Gothic view over the Baixa and surrounding rooftops.
Tips from local experts:
- Your guide will take you to the observation area — skip the lift queue by enjoying the view from the surrounding terrace.
- Ask for a photo with the ironwork in frame; the structure makes a dramatic foreground for couples shots.
- Cobblestones near the elevator can be uneven — wear stable shoes when stepping off the tuk‑tuk.
Pastel de nata taste — Manteigaria (quick fuel & sweet moment)
Stop for a fresh, warm pastel de nata — the classic Lisbon custard tart that makes for a delightful, intimate tasting.
Tips from local experts:
- Order one pastel each and share — the warm custard and flaky pastry are perfect to split for a romantic moment.
- Ask the staff to reheat briefly if not piping hot — best enjoyed still-warm for maximum flavour.
- There’s usually a small counter to stand at; use the brief stop to freshen up and take a cheeky photo with the tart.
Alfama postcard moment — Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Iconic tiled terrace overlooking Alfama and the Tagus — one of Lisbon’s most romantic vistas and a favourite for couples.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand near the azulejo‑tiled benches for classic Lisbon character in your photos.
- Ask the guide to wait for a quieter second between trams/visitors for an uninterrupted shot.
- There are short steps to the terrace; if you’d like an easier route, the tuk‑tuk can pause near the top for brief access.
Lisbon Cathedral (Sé) — exterior visit & photo stop
Quick exterior visit to Lisbon’s Romanesque cathedral for an atmospheric finish among old stone and narrow streets.
Tips from local experts:
- The cathedral façade is dramatic at dusk — ask your guide for a photo with the cathedral as a historic backdrop.
- This stop is an exterior visit; if you’d like to enter, mention it early so the guide can check opening times.
- Some streets near the cathedral are steep and cobbled; hold hands and take it slowly for a romantic stroll.
Return & farewell — Avenida da Liberdade 3 (drop off)
Short ride back to the meeting point. Say farewell, confirm photos or routes to dinner if you’d like a recommendation.
Tips from local experts:
- If you enjoyed the tour, ask your guide for a romantic dinner recommendation nearby on Avenida da Liberdade or Chiado.
- Collect any photos your guide took; many guides are happy to share a few edited shots on request.
- Plan a post‑tour stroll down the tree‑lined Avenida da Liberdade to continue the evening — several elegant bars and restaurants are close by.
