This companion tour is designed to be accessible for all guests.
Here’s a perfect overview of Portugal's charming capital city. Explore Lisbon and its amazing historical sites along the Tagus River.
Meet your guide and accessible van and head out on a scenic panoramic drive through the heart of Lisbon. Encounter the vibrant commercial and historic Baixa area, peppered with Portugal’s neo-Classical architecture, bustling, pedestrianized streets, and trendy shops.
You will also see Lisbon’s Lower Town, the Santa Justa Lift, and Rossio Square. Discover historical streets, traditional shops, iconic squares, and ornate churches -- indicators of a prosperous past. Taste the famous ginjinha -- Lisbon’s cherry liqueur.
In the Belém Quarter, pay homage to the Portuguese Discoveries period. You will see the Tagus River -- the embarkation points for Vasco de Gama’s great discoveries -- and the iconic Monument to the Discoveries, the 25th of April Bridge, and the Palácio de São Bento, home to the Portuguese Parliament. The fortified Tower of Belem is one of Lisbon’s postcard landmarks.
Your tour continues to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jerónimos Monastery. Here, you will visit the Santa Maria Church of the Jeronimos. Note the fascinating and fabulous Gothic-Manueline architecture that resulted from Portugal’s immense trade wealth.
Return to the pier with a drive along the River Tagus and a view of the April 25 Bridge, Christ the King statue, and Praça do Comercio -- the largest square in Europe.
Notes:
This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair (the tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs). The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. Lunch is not included. If appropriate (i.e., on long-duration tours), you will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Maximum weight is 350 lbs.
This tour option is designed for guests traveling with individuals seeking designated accessible tours or for those who wish to book an accessible tour without requiring specific accommodations, such as a wheelchair anchor. If you require a reservation for a designated accessible space, please select the version of this tour that does not include 'Companion' in the title. This ensures that all guests who need accessibility accommodations have access to the necessary resources and allows us to coordinate effectively with our vendors.
