Lisbon's Seven Hills & Beyond - Full Day Tour with Private Transportation

As you've noticed, both Athens and Rome were known to have 7 hills. In the XVII century, a famous Portuguese friar didn't want Lisbon to fall behind those two great cities, so he started to claim that Lisbon also had 7 hills. This is just one of the many myths that are often blended with the hard facts of History to make Portugal look as great as other renowned countries, and you know what? Today, we don't need that anymore. On this tour, we will travel through those 7 hills and more, to give the right context to all those myths, and to explain why we have such a hard time balancing the 2: reality and mythology. Only to tease a bit: the myth of the 7 hills involves a classical hero, a giant monster, a spell, and one of the names that was once given to Lisbon. Come with me and I'll give you the best introduction to Lisbon in a day, where you'll get to know everything from the westernmost historic area of Belém to the ancient eastern doors of the city in Alfama; and a story that spans 25 centuries.
