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! "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" - Ralph Waldo Emerson Licensed Tourist Guide since 2011 None

Portugal's dictatorship - a history of resistance!
Overview of your Lisbon tour
If you are interested in the history of Portugal's recent history, this tour is definitely for you! Did you know Portugal's dictatorship is the longest in Western Europe? Have you heard about Salazar, the Portuguese dictator? At the Aljube Museum, you will learn about this horrific period of our history as well as some of the stories of the brave men and women who resisted the fascist regime. You will get to experience firsthand the so-called "curros" - the isolation cells where prisoners were taken to while waiting for interrogation. Imagine yourself sucking inside a 1x2 meters cell. The tour will end at Carmo Square - the place where the dictatorship came to an end!
