Lisbon City by Night and Fado Restaurant Dinner

Description

See Lisbon's beauty at night on an illuminations sightseeing tour. Relax on a comfortable coach and see Lisbon's main landmarks illuminated at night, such as Marqués de Pombal Square, Rossio Square, the 25th of April Bridge and the Monument to the Discoveries. Take in views of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites of Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, then head to central Lisbon to enjoy a Portuguese dinner with live Fado music and a folk dance performance.

Head to central Lisbon on your own or enjoy free pickup at your hotel, and meet your local guide for a unique way of experiencing Lisbon.

Start your Lisbon illuminations evening tour at Marqués de Pombal Square, where a monument to the Marquis of Pombal stands as a memorial to the important role the marquis played in Lisbon's rebirth in 1755. From your coach, see the beautiful square while hearing interesting details about Portuguese history, including the 1755 earthquake that destroyed two-thirds of the city.
See Lisbon lighting up on the drive along the Avenue da Liberdade, Lisbon's main avenue. Experience Lisbon coming to life at the end of the day as you approach Rossio Square, one of the liveliest areas of the city and located in the heart of Lisbon.

Continue along the waterfront to the Belém district, home to the famous Monument to the Discoveries, dedicated to the greatest Portuguese explorers, and the Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage monument that commemorates Portugal's role in the discovery of the Americas. In this area, you will also see the Jerónimos Monastery, another UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, where many great figures of Portuguese history rest.

Admire views of the 25th of April Bridge -- a suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River -- and see Lisbon's reflections on the water from your comfortable coach on the drive back to central Lisbon.

After your tour of Lisbon at night, follow your guide to a traditional Portuguese restaurant. Sit back and enjoy a delicious Portuguese meal (included), while listening to a live Fado performance (Portugal's own music genre) and a folk dance show. The show finishes at midnight, but you may return to your hotel at your leisure.
