Description

In the Lisbon Roots, Food & Cultural Walk tour, you will stroll through areas totally off the beaten tourist track so that you can have a unique, immersive, and authentic experience of fascinating Lisbon. It is a unique opportunity to get to know places that have not yet entered the tourist routes and are frequented mainly by locals and Lisboetas. Among friends, we will talk about the origins of Fado, the history, architecture, and culture of the city, while interacting with the people behind the six specialty stores, taverns, and local restaurants that we’ll visit to taste the delicious snacks and dishes characteristic of Portuguese gastronomy.

Let’s get to know the secrets and places that only the Lisboetas know, where to eat and what to choose, right in the city center and away from the tourist bustle.

During the tour of about 3.5 hours, in a small group, we will discover and enjoy much of what downtown Lisbon has to offer.

We recommend doing this food tour at the beginning of your stay in Lisbon: this way, you will have all the information and confidence to continue exploring the city with more insights and, at the same time, get the best tips for your next meals during your stay in Lisbon.

In short, a food tour is the best way to get to know the secrets of Lisbon, places, and foods that only a local expert can tell you.
