Description:

Explore the mouthwatering flavors of Portuguese cuisine in a walking tour across Lisbon’s liveliest districts. Discover the city's lively café-culture, taste a variety of tapas-style dishes, and enjoy a glass or 2 of wine—there's plenty to savor in this character-filled city.

Come hungry—there's a lot to cover as you learn about Portugal’s culinary traditions. Begin at the iconic 18th century Café Nicola, where you can hear about the social importance of Lisbon's buzzing café culture from your guide. At the grand Rossio Square, sample a famous codfish cake and Portugal's even more renowned libation—vinho verde.

If the social scene in Lisbon has a spiritual home, it's in the Bairro Alto. Set out to uncover this neighborhood, which houses some of the city’s best restaurants, liveliest bars, and most popular nightclubs. Pause for a refreshing glass of white wine and a selection of local dishes. Descend the Calçada do Duque steps to a street teeming with restaurants and admire the view of Castle Hill.

Pass by delis stocking an array of produce, from fresh fruits to dried fish and cured and smoked meats. Learn more about Portugal's national drinks as you sip port with cheese and marmalade then sample Ginjinha—a cherry liqueur—from the tipple's original storefront.

Digest all that you’ve seen over a glass of Alentejo red wine and a plate of fresh bread and chouriço at the tucked-away Palacio Alverça—an intriguing 17th-century palace with charming, Neo-Moorish décor.
