Lisbon through Miradouros (viewpoints) –  27th September

The historic center of Lisbon is defined by its hills. Walking through them allows you to delve into the city’s history, discover its charm and enjoy the opportunity to access viewpoints offering panoramic vistas. On this tour, we will walk from terrace to terrace — exceptional places to appreciate Lisbon’s distinctive features and gain a deeper understanding of its historical and urban evolution.

Mozarab Lisbon– 18th October

The Arab and Islamic occupation of the Iberian Peninsula took place between the 8th and 12th centuries. While it did not extend to the entire territory and was not homogeneous, Lisbon was one of the places where the Arab presence was significant. Christians, who date back to the time of the Roman Empire, have continued to live here under Islamic rule. Did you know that they mostly kept their own practices and customs while adopting Arab culture? This community became known as the Mozarabs, and on this tour, we will explore their spaces and way of life in an Islamised Lisbon.

Leisure and entertainment in modern Lisbon– 8th November

With the onset of industrialisation, Lisbon embarked on a programme of urban renewal and expansion. Technological advances were eagerly embraced to improve living conditions and satisfy a desire for new forms of entertainment. Mechanical instruments for recording and reproducing sound, as well as photographic techniques, arrived in Lisbon. Theatres opened, including an animatograph theatre. These new arts influenced new lifestyles. Cafés emerged as spaces for socialising. Artists and writers embraced a bohemian lifestyle. On this tour, we will explore the entertainment and social venues that played a key role in bringing about modernity in Lisbon.
