The cosmopolitan and literary Chiado, together with the bohemian Bairro Alto, both vibrant as ever, are roamed about in this Lisbon walking tour. The life and personality of the best known player of the modernist generation in Portugal – the poet Fernando Pessoa – provides the adequate script.
You will also spot unique perspectives of the city, available only from Lisbon’s most Romantic hill and the first one to be seriously planned as an urban site in the 16th century.
Key features of this walk include:
Bohemian life in Bairro Alto
Lisbon growing outside its walls
A Baroque splendour in the city
The poet Fernando Pessoa
The “A Brasileira” coffee shop and the Modernist Generation
Breathtaking views over the city
The golden age of the newspapers
