Description:

Discover the vibrant multicultural atmosphere in Lisbon through the eyes of a local on this guided tour of the city. See how the influence of African culture has shaped the gastronomic and music scenes, creating a distinctive society and setting the community apart from other Portuguese cities.

The proximity of Lisbon to the African continent has resulted in a multicultural society that includes a variety of different styles, fashions, and ways of life. As people arrive from Mozambique and Cape Verde, they bring their food and music—arguably the most unifying aspects of any community—and your local guide knows exactly where to seek out these pockets of Africa in the city center.

Wander the streets and experience the lively atmosphere as you get to lesser-known locations that you might have otherwise missed and see the city in a new light. Get a recommendation from your guide for a delicious meal at a nearby restaurant, or feel the rhythms and beats of a faraway land coming from a live music venue right in the heart of Lisbon.
