Itinerary

Hop-On Hop-Off:
Are you prepared to experience the stunning capital of Portugal, Lisbon, from a unique viewpoint? Simply board one of our buses and select from our Blue, Green, or Red Route. You have the freedom to switch between routes at your convenience, and all our comfortable open-top buses commence their journey at Marques de Pombal.

Blue Route:
If you are traveling with young children, the family-oriented Blue Route is ideal for you. Disembark at the Jardim Zoologico to observe lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). This zoo is one of the oldest in Europe, established in 1884. Reboard to visit another of Lisbon’s premier tourist destinations, the exceptional Oceanário. You may have visited aquariums before, but this one is truly remarkable. As Europe’s largest indoor aquarium, it features a massive tank that serves as a habitat for over 100 species, including the rare and highly sought-after sunfish. From penguins to otters, and sharks to rays, the variety of wildlife here is astonishing.

Red Route:
Transitioning from underwater wonders to breathtaking sea views, enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze on your face as you relax on the top deck of our classic Red Route. Take in the stunning vistas along this coastal road, and then hop off right next to Lisbon’s two most impressive landmarks: the extraordinary Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and the iconic Torre de Belém. The former, a grand monastery, is an architectural marvel. Stroll through its elaborately carved cloisters and discover the history of the monks who once inhabited this magnificent site. The Torre de Belém also features intriguing carvings, including the earliest representation of a rhinoceros in Europe. You will also appreciate the building’s North African-inspired turrets and the breathtaking views of the River Tagus.

Green Route:
Hop aboard our green route for a ride up the hill to the impressive Sao Jorge castle, which has a history spanning over a thousand years. Having been destroyed twice by earthquakes, it was completely restored to its original splendor in the 20th century. Another elevated attraction in the city is the vibrant Bairro Alto (the upper district). Disembark here and wander through this charming labyrinth of colorful streets and alleys. Be sure to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the city from the Miradouro da Graça. It is an ideal spot to pause for a coffee or a glass of vinho verde while appreciating the faded grandeur of this remarkable city.

Walking Tours:
Your ticket includes access to two guided walking tours throughout the city, one in the morning and another in the late afternoon. Simply disembark at one of the stops listed below, and our knowledgeable guide will lead you through the old town, sharing intriguing facts and delightful anecdotes about Lisbon’s history and contemporary life.

Night Tour:
Lisbon truly comes to life after dark. This is why we have incorporated a complimentary night tour of the city on our bus. Board at stop 1 on our red route and enjoy a ride through the old town to experience Lisbon after sunset.
