The Discoveries changed the world and paved the way for globalisation, with Lisbon playing a leading role as a pioneer of ocean voyages. What was Lisbon like then, and who were its people?
On this tour we explore Lisbon’s Ribeira, the riverside, among fountains and the traces of old port facilities and maritime trade, following the history of a city that sailed from the river to every sea.
What you’ll see
- The market and the Ribeira Palace
- Rua Nova dos Mercadores (New Merchants’ Street)
- Shipbuilding
- The House of India
- Food and spices
