My name is Catarina and I am a certified tourist guide since 2011. I live in Lisbon and I'm passionate about this city and all it has to offer for those who visit it.

After I finished my degree in Touristic Information I went to England, but in 2015 I returned to Lisbon to
do what I love the most: to show the charms and secrets of my beautiful country to those visiting it!

I will show you Lisbon's landmarks such as the Castle of St. Jorge. Together we will explore Lisbon's most secretive corners, the ones you won't find in any tourist guide! At the end you will feel like a true native and even more in love with this beautiful city. Always at your own pace.
Come with me and discover the best places in one of the trendiest countries at the moment!

Let's step together into a realm of architectural splendor and historical grandeur in this wonderful two-hour monument tour of the Jerónimos Monastery and the Church of Santa Maria de Belém.

Join me as we traverse the corridors of time and unravel the stories enshrined within these iconic structures. During this tour I will share with you all the details about the maritime adventures of the Portuguese and you spend a couple of hours with a local, learning about the tiles in Portugal and why this is one of the most visited monuments in Lisbon.

To finish this visit, I will invite you to join me for a local sweet treat - a custard tart!

Discovering Majesty: Jerónimos Monastery and Church of Santa Maria de Belém

This tour is perfect for someone discovering Lisbon for the first time!

Starting at "Baixa", you will learn about the earthquake that shaped today's downtown and how Lisbon was rebuilt from scratch. We will also pass by the lively area of Bairro Alto, the local's favorite spot for nightlife. Next, we will go to Chiado, the bustling area where people go shopping and where we find some of the oldest shops in the city.

We will take a tram to go to Alfama, the most authentic part of Lisbon that was once occupied by both Moors and Jews. The neighborhood of Alfama is my absolute favourite in the whole city! That's why I like to save the best for last! Every time I wander trough Alfama I fell like I'm in a completely different place, it seems like this part of Lisbon is stuck in time. . . With ladies peaking out of the window or kids playing outside.

In the end, you will feel like a true native and even more in love with this beautiful city!
