Walks in Lisbon
Белен: Лиссабон великих открытий — и их цена
От угольной электростанции до башни Белен: кареты королей, паштейш 1837 года, монастырь Жеронимуш, памятник первооткрывателям и честный разговор об империи, работорговле и колониальной войне на берегу Тежу в Лиссабоне
Лиссабон: Алфама и замок Святого Георгия — от осады 1147 года до фаду
Собор-крепость и дом, где родился Святой Антоний, римский театр, смотровые площадки над Тежу, стены, которые штурмовали крестоносцы, и лабиринт Алфамы, где рождалось фаду
Belém sem mitos: Jerónimos, Torre de Belém e a verdade dos Descobrimentos em Lisboa
Da central elétrica junto ao Tejo ao forte que guarda os nomes da Guerra Colonial: coches de ouro, pastéis de 1837, um mosteiro pago a pimenta, o Padrão e a Torre, contados por um lisboeta, com o brilho e o peso do império
Alfama e Castelo de São Jorge: a Lisboa mais antiga, do cerco de 1147 aos becos
Da Casa dos Bicos à Sé de Santo António, do teatro romano escondido às muralhas da alcáçova: miradouros, judiaria, chafarizes e becos de Alfama, a parte de Lisboa que o terramoto não apagou

Belém y los Descubrimientos: imperio, especias y memoria en Lisboa

Up the Avenida da Liberdade: Lisbon's Grand Boulevard from Restauradores to Parque Eduardo VII
From the obelisk of 1640 and the Glória funicular, past cinemas, a collector's mansion and Pombal on his column, to a cold greenhouse in a quarry and the hilltop where Lisbon remembers 25 April 1974
Saints, Sieges and Stairways: Alfama and the Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon

How hilly are the Lisbon walking routes?
Lisbon is famous for its seven hills, so walks in Alfama and the upper quarters include inclines and traditional stone stairways (calçadas). Routes are mapped to follow comfortable pedestrian ascents and scenic descending slopes. Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.
How much does a Lisbon walk cost?
The first stop of every walk and all written text across every story are completely free. If a walk has additional unvoiced stops, unlocking them makes the audio permanently free for every visitor who takes that walk in the future.
What languages are available for Lisbon?
The collection features walks in English and Russian. Each route is authored independently to focus on specific cultural narratives, from first-timer architectural and earthquake history to deep literary and healing traditions across the old quarters.
Can I take Tram 28 instead?
Historic Tram 28 follows a famous route but is often heavily overcrowded with standing passengers. Walking allows you to step inside quiet medieval alleys, explore hidden miradouros, and listen to the stories of landmarks that the tram passes without stopping.
