Medieval Guided Tour of Alfama and Mouraria
Our Old Town Medieval Segway Tour Lisbon takes you on an exciting ride through time, allowing you to experience the city’s ancient streets, rich cultural heritage, and iconic landmarks. All in the most effortless and fun way possible.
Forget the strain of climbing Lisbon’s famous hills—your Segway does all the hard work, so you can simply enjoy the journey. Glide through Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood, where the Moorish influence still lingers in the intricate architecture and winding alleys. As you ride through this living history book, you’ll hear the echoes of Fado music seeping from hidden taverns, adding to the mystical charm of this medieval setting.
Our expert local guides will transport you back in time with captivating stories of Moorish rulers, daring explorers, and Portugal’s royal past. Learn how the city was shaped by the Moorish occupation, the Age of Discovery, and the catastrophic 1755 earthquake that transformed its landscape forever. Every corner reveals hidden details and historical secrets that most visitors miss, making this tour a truly immersive experience.
As you continue your journey, you’ll pass by the National Pantheon, a magnificent baroque masterpiece, and cruise through the vibrant Lisbon Flea Market, where antiques, handcrafted goods, and vintage treasures fill the stalls. Your ride then takes you to Mouraria, one of Lisbon’s most diverse and culturally dynamic neighborhoods. Here, the city’s global influences shine, blending traditional Portuguese heritage with flavors, music, and art from around the world. Expect to see stunning street murals, centuries-old Fado houses, and hidden alleyways filled with character.
And of course, no medieval tour would be complete without a visit to Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa), the city’s oldest church. Standing tall for nearly 900 years, this Romanesque wonder has witnessed the rise and transformation of Lisbon from a medieval fortress to a thriving European capital.
