Explore Lisbon

Whether you’re planning to arrive a few days early or linger a little longer, Lisbon invites you to wander, discover, and be surprised. Here are a few curated suggestions to help you make the most of your stay—no matter your pace.

Tuk Tuk Guided Tours – The Fastest Way to See It All

Lisbon is beautiful—and hilly! One of the best (and most fun) ways to explore the city is by Tuk Tuk, especially if you’re short on time. These aren’t your average tuk tuks—think electric carts with seats for 4–6 passengers, an awning for shade, and a friendly local driver who doubles as your guide.

🕒 Recommended tour length: 3–4 hours to include key sights like Belém.
🏨 Pickup: Available directly from most hotels.
💡 Pro tip: Skip the shorter 1–2 hour rides—they don’t cover enough ground.
