Freetour: Baixa, Alfama with Insider (Out)look

Hello and Olá! In a small group, I will show you the longing-inducing Lisbon and tell you about the pride of a country that once ruled the seas. Together, we will explore why the Portuguese are so quiet and modest, while next door in Spain, things are loud. Experience the Baixa and Alfama from a new perspective – with a touch of Bavarian dialect and without any glossy filters, we will wander through history and experience a vibrant and history-shaping city. • Pride & Myths: Why Portugal remains independent and the whole country has been waiting for the return of a lost king on a foggy night for 450 years. • Splendor & Disasters: Wealth through discoveries, the downfall through the earthquake, and the creative rebuilding. • Openness to the world yesterday & today: How Portugal has turned to the world since the 16th and 18th centuries and today uses international influences to move forward. • Reality check: Modern everyday life between the IT boom and high rents – and how the dictatorship under Salazar and the peaceful Carnation Revolution continue to shape the nature of the Portuguese to this day. • Culinary & Soul: The honor of grilling, proud wine, and the lively Fado in the alleys of Alfama. At the end of the tour, you will also receive valuable insider tips and recommendations for local restaurants – from trendy spots to traditional locales.
