By the end of the tour, you’re sure to have a full belly and a deeper appreciation of Lisbon's incredible food culture—all while having a fun night out.

Your evening begins in one of Lisbon's most spirited and beautiful neighborhoods, Príncipe Real. Here you’ll learn how petiscos differ from tapas and start trying some favorite local snacks.    

Next, you’ll take in the magical city views at one of Lisbon’s most impressive miradouros, or viewpoints. As you gaze across the city, listen to the story of how Lisbon grew into the city that it is today.    

Then it's on to the vibrant neighborhood of Bairro Alto!

Next, you’ll discover how to eat like a Lisboeta! At a local hangout, the chef prepares delicious fire-roasted chouriço to enjoy with bread and a selection of cheeses.  For an authentic Bairro Alto experience, visiting a traditional Portuguese tasca is a must! These small, family-run restaurants provide a glimpse of authentic Lisbon, and you’ll experience one of the best. While mingling with the locals, sink your teeth into a savory duck rice and other tasty dishes prepared by the owner himself.    

End the night on a sweet note in the Chiado and Bica neighborhoods. Sample custard tarts from a classic pastry shop that locals love paired with a glass of Port wine.  By the end of the night, you’re sure to have a full belly and a deeper understanding of what going out for petiscos in Lisbon is all about!
