There is a wide variety of high-quality tour options in Lisbon, but it can be hard to know which ones to choose. These are some of the top-rated Lisbon tours, according to previous travelers:
Prices for Lisbon tours vary widely—shorter walking or tuk-tuk tours start at around US$15 per person on one end of the range, while private tours that offer a personalized experience may cost US$1,800 and up for your whole group. The price depends partly on how long the tour is, and partly on what’s included. Most of the top-rated tours cost from US$20–100 per person.
On the more cost-effective end of the price range, you can book tours such as Alfama Walking Tour Lisbon for around US$3 per person. This walking tour showcases key monuments in Lisbon, such as Sao Jorge Castle and Sé Cathedral, but it doesn’t include transport or monument admission. For a more luxurious alternative, you can book pricier options such as Private Catamaran Tour: Lisbon Coast Cruise with Barbecue and Drinks for around US$1,800 per group, with a barbecue lunch, drinks, and a private sailing experience to the Estoril Coast.
Although Lisbon is still regularly touted as a cheap European city to visit, it’s gotten more expensive in recent years as it’s become more popular. Mid-range hotels might average around €115 (about US$125) per night for a double room, for instance, and you might spend around €40 (about US$44) on food each day. You can save money by looking for hostels instead of hotels, and by eating your big meal at midday instead of at dinner.
The attractions you’ll see on Lisbon tours vary by the specific tour itinerary, of course, but you can find options that focus on the city’s top sights and others that highlight the less-visited places. There are also dozens of options for day trips from a home base in Lisbon, which allow you to see beautifully colorful (and eminently photographable) places like Sintra, Belem, or Cascais.
It’s worth considering an all-day tour to help you visit as many top landmarks and attractions as possible. For example, the Best of Lisbon Small-Group Guided Walking Tour showcases Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Carmo Convent (Carmo Archaeological Museum), and Loureiro do Chao viewpoint. It also explores the highlights of one of Lisbon’s oldest areas—Alfama.
Those in the know typically recommend planning for around 3–4 days in Lisbon. That gives you enough time to see the main attractions of the Portuguese capital without feeling too rushed—and it may even leave you with a spare day for an excursion outside the city to popular places like the brightly colored historic palace in Sintra.
