About the Lisbon City Tour
Lisbon is built on seven hills, and its best views and oldest streets are exactly the ones that wear visitors out on foot. On this private half day your driver collects you from your hotel, the airport or the cruise terminal and takes you to Belém, the Christ the King viewpoint, Alfama and the miradouros — with the climbing done by the car.
You choose how long to spend at each stop. The price is for the whole car, not per person, and your driver can tell you which monuments are worth going inside on a four-hour day.

Planning your time
Is 4 hours enough to see Lisbon?
Four hours is enough to see Lisbon’s highlights — Belém, the Christ the King viewpoint, Alfama and the miradouros — because the car does the hills and the distances for you. It is not enough to go inside every monument, so most guests choose one to visit properly and see the rest from outside.

| About 20 minutes along the river to Belém | |||
| 0:20 | Belém | About 1 hour | Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery and the riverfront monuments — time to go inside one, or for a custard tart where they were first made. |

| About 2 hours 35 minutes at the stops and 1 hour 25 minutes in the car — with the climbing done for you. | |||
Timings are a typical guide from a hotel in central Lisbon. Your driver adjusts them to the traffic and to the places you want to linger over, and the order can change on the day.
