I'm Gui (as all my friends call me), a 39-year-old local from Lisbon who loves his little corner of the world so much that I dream of making others fall in love with its cultural and historical richness. A student of Portuguese history, culture, literature, and language, I was only absent from my hometown for a year, when I decided to embraced the challenge of studying in Florence, Italy. Marveling at my country's historical and cultural connections with other countries and places around the world and over the centuries, I got lost in the labyrinth of all these intricate and constant tangents. Even today, instead of looking for a way out of them, I scrutinize every new and intriguing corner of this endless maze with the curiosity of a neophyte, aiming to call each of these new curious regions my home. I want you to discover all of my favorite places near Lisbon, in addition to Lisbon itself. From Sintra and its romantic mysticism to Cascais and its maritime voluptuousness, as well as Serra da Arrábida and its wild nature that hides corners that are both intoxicating and sacred. Then there's Óbidos and its medieval ambience, and Nazaré with its waves that crush forgotten legends & myths. We can't forget about Alcobaça and Batalha, with its Romanesque and Gothic monasteries, or about Tomar, once the capital of the Order of the Temple in Portugal. Queluz, Mafra and Ajuda and their magnanimous royal palaces are also worth mentioning, as well as the city-museum of Évora, also the best oasis for any desert. Join me on these journeys through Portugal's culture. From raw history, to cooked cuisine, scrambled architecture, tasteful music, a thousand textures literature and sweet, sour and spicy stories.

Overview of your Lisbon tour
Welcome to Lisbon, or should we say Allis Ubbo, or Felicitas Julia, Olissipum, Al-Usbuna? Well, each of these names casts some light on the rich and long history of my city, and during this tour we are going to find traces of the different peoples that wrote that history in our culture. When I say that our history is like Game of Thrones minus dragons and sorcery, I'm not exaggerating, because we have a bit of everything: travellers and settlers, fearless adventurers, famous heroes, bloodthirsty emperors, Vikings, pirates, Knights Templar, world explorers, cruel dictators, and unfit kings. It's a blast! In one full day tour, I'll cover the time span of 25 centuries, where I'll be uncovering all the beautiful, comic, and tragic tales - from the most factual to the most mythical - of Portugal's history. Be prepared, for there will be a pop-quiz at the end! Just kidding, you will all pass with distinction. Join me on this tour, so we can have the "times" of our life!
