The 15 Best Walking Tours in Portugal

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10,902 reviews · 3 hours · from $29Our pick

A 3-hour Lisbon walking tour through Bairro Alto, viewpoints, churches, Baixa, and Alfama, plus an iconic tram ride, coffee, and cake.

“This is an absolute must do if you are in Lisbon. Beatrice was the most fantastic, fun, informative, knowledgeable guide and we were very lucky to have her. Her extensive knowledge and clear passion for her home country shone through and made this a very interesting tour. It’s accessible for people who aren’t really fit - lots of stopping, plenty of photo opportunities, a chance to see Lisbon from a local’s viewpoint and knowledge, a tram ride, pastry and a coffee. It’s a definite must do.”

A 2-hour Funchal Old Town walk with markets, a 19th-century sweet factory, wine, sugar stories, and student-support.

“This a great way to start your holiday, get your bearings & learn more about the city's history & culture. Good to know too that your money is going straight into the University's Student Welfare Fund. Our group was very small - just three solo women travellers and our guide, Evalina, who's currently on a gap year from the Czech Republic. She was very knowledgeable for someone who's only been in Funchal for a month, spoke impeccable English, and gave us a little time to wander around the market independently.

The whole walking tour was informative and well organised, lots of uphill and though mostly downhill expect some tricky areas and walking shoes a must. Perfect weather today with cool breeze and no rain, perfect for hiking. Highly recommend the walk and a great way to see the island and its hidden gems.”
