Important to Know
Important Information to Know
Both Lisbon and Porto are known for their charming, hilly landscapes especially Lisbon, which is famously built on seven steep hills! Our tours will involve walking through narrow streets, and cobbled alleyways, so it’s important to be in good walking condition to fully enjoy the experience. Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes are a must!
Group transfers for activities are included, and we won’t have you tackling any steep hills. However, there will still be some walking to fully experience the city’s charm. Please keep this in mind when booking!
