Animated summer Lisbon

Country forums / Western Europe / Portugal

Hello all,

If you are planning a trip to Lisbon this summer, be prepared for anything!

Carristur (the main sightseeing operator in Lisbon) surprised once again and launched a pioneering concept of Cultural animation in Lisbon.

Actors representing the most significant or mythic characters of Portugal will guide you through the rich history and culture of this unique country and its capital in an interactive, entertaining and educative way. Luís de Camões, Afonso Henriques, Fernando Pessoa or mythic Adamastor can surprise you on board of the sightseeing bus or in the Lisbon’s streets in the most unexpected moment.

This initiative is bringing “a breeze of fresh air” for the upcoming summer months, providing an original and attractive program to tourists that arrive daily to Lisbon.

Thus you will not only discover the most beautiful places of the City, but you will also learn more about its past and customs.

In June and July, from Monday to Friday, the historical characters will reveal their identity and start the day at 10:00 at the Praça do Comercio.

Don’t miss this unique experience and enjoy the Lisbon’s summer!
