Tuk Tuk Private Tour by Alfama in Lisbon

The Church of St. Anthony in Lisbon was built in the place where St. Anthony is said to have been born. He is one of the most beloved saints in Portugal. The original church is quite old, from the 15th century, but it was rebuilt several times, mainly after the great earthquake of 1755. On the outside, the church is discrete, and on the inside it has a welcoming atmosphere, with altars dedicated to the saint. Many people go there to ask for help or to thank, since St. Anthony is known as the "sanctuary". It is a special place, full of faith and tradition for those who visit.

The Lisbon Cathedral, or Lisbon Cathedral, is one of the oldest and most important churches in the city. Located in the Alfama neighborhood, it was built in the 12th century, soon after the reconquest of Lisbon by the Portuguese. The facade, imposing and solid, resembles a castle, with its towers and narrow windows. The interior houses several chapels, as well as a beautiful cloister where ancient ruins were discovered. One of the highlights is the presence of the relics of St. Vincent, patron of Lisbon, which makes the cathedral a point of visitation and devotion.

The Miradouro de Santa Luzia in Lisbon is one of the most pleasant places to see the city from above. It is in the Alfama neighborhood and from there you have a beautiful view of the river Tagus, the roofs of the old houses and also the National Pantheon. The place has a garden full of flowers, like the bougainvillas, and traditional tiles that show old scenes of the city. It is a great place to relax, take pictures and enjoy the sunset. The miradouro is very popular among tourists and locals, and conveys that good feeling of being in the heart of Lisbon.

The Miradouro das Portas do Sol in Lisbon is an amazing place to enjoy the city. From there, you can see the Tejo River, the Alfama neighborhood and the colorful houses that descend through the hills. The name "Gates of the Sun" comes from an old door from the walls that protected the city. In the miradour, there is also a statue of St. Vincent, who is the patron of Lisbon. He's holding a boat with two crows, which are symbols of the city. The ancient walls can still be seen in some parts of Alfama, reminiscent of how Lisbon was defended in the past. It is a place full of history and beauty, perfect for relaxing and taking photos.

The House of the Blind is the oldest house in Lisbon, built in the 12th century, during the time of the Moors. The cool thing about this house is that it still has the stone walls and the simple way it was at the time, showing how people lived long ago.

It is close to the mural of Amália Rodrigues, which pays tribute to the famous Portuguese fadista. The House of the Blind is full of history and is a great place to get to know the roots of the city. It is an interesting stop for those who want to feel a little bit of Lisbon’s past and understand how the city has changed over the years. It’s worth visiting to see this part of history from close.

The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is one of the most amazing places to see Lisbon. Located on top of the Graça neighborhood, it offers a unique view of the city. It is possible to see the Castle of St. George, the hills and the colorful roofs, as well as the river Tejo shining in the sun. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunset, when the sky is filled with beautiful colors and the city is all lit, the sky of Lisbon is unmatched.

The miradour has comfortable trees and benches, so it is a good spot to meet with friends or just to enjoy the view. Near there is the Chair of the Martyr of St. Gens. The story tells that this chair was made for the martyr who received the visit of Our Lady after being tortured. Many people believe that sitting in it brings protection (especially to pregnant women) and helps to fulfill requests. The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is a special place (my favorite spot of the whole city), full of beauty and meaning, perfect for those who want to feel the vibe of Lisbon.
