Lisbon Guided Walking Tour
Lisbon, built on seven hills, is also one of Europe's most accessible cities for exploring on foot, and often feels more like a series of neighbourhoods knitted together.
And it is not just tourists who are attracted to the delights of the Portuguese capital - film-makers also flock there. Among the latest movies to be made in the city is Night Train To Lisbon, due to be released in the UK next year. Jeremy Irons plays a professor who abandons his job and heads to Lisbon on a journey of self-discovery.
Lisbon is easy to navigate on foot, there are two quirky forms of transport not to be missed: the fabulous, creaking old elevadores (cable-winched lifts), and old trams that carry you into Lisbon's charming heart.
Afterwards, irresistible sweet smells drew into Pasteis de Belem, a picturesque pastry shop rightly known for its deliciously fresh egg tarts. But be warned: one is never enough.
Lisbon is famously hilly the story goes that the hills were created by a snake woman after being abandoned by her lover Ulysses. However they were formed, you need to get up and down them, and the most direct option is often a staircase difficult to navigate by car. The price of the tour includes a trip up one of the iconic funiculars, which is an experience in itself.
Walking also allows you to get up close and personal with Lisbons architecture, rather than just seeing it from a vehicle. One of the best favourite things about the city is the tile-work on the front of many buildings a legacy from the Moorish presence in the country a hundreds of years ago. Some of the tiles are incredibly intricate, and can only be appreciated up close.
