Discover the history of Lisbon through its architecture, from Roman remains and the city’s Arab and medieval past to the extraordinary rebuilding that followed the 1755 earthquake. We will explore the remarkable urban plan of Baixa and its innovative earthquake-resistant construction, discover the flair of 19th-century Lisbon, and venture beyond the usual sights to explore the architecture and urban developments of the dictatorship years. From there, we will follow Lisbon’s transformation through the late 20th and 21st centuries, from the city’s early embrace of Modernism to the major urban changes that continue to shape Lisbon today. This tour is ideal for anyone interested in architecture, history, art and Lisbon’s culture and way of life. By exploring very different parts of the city, we will go beyond the main sights to understand how Lisbon has evolved over time.

Sintra earned its UNESCO listing not for one palace, but for a romantic landscape — and Quinta da Regaleira is where that spirit is most concentrated. Built between 1904 and 1910 for a coffee-and-diamond millionaire with a taste for Templar symbolism and Freemasonry, the estate hides towers, grottoes and tunnels behind its gardens. At its centre, the Initiation Well spirals 27 metres underground on nine landings, ending at a Templar cross set into the stone floor. From there, we walk into the historic centre on foot — Sintra's cobbled lanes, the National Palace's twin chimneys over the rooftops, a coffee or a slice of travesseiro if the moment calls for it. No coach groups, no palace-gate queue: just your private group of up to four, at your pace. Highlights: - Quinta da Regaleira's Initiation Well — spiral stairway descending 27m - Gardens, towers and Masonic tunnels - Sintra historic centre on foot — National Palace chimneys - Private group, no coach queues — your own pace
