About this Event
Embark on the Lisbon Audio Tour: Old Town Icons
Lisbon was rebuilt from ashes following an apocalyptic earthquake that erased the city in minutes. Beneath the grand facades of the Arch of Rua Augusta and Praça do Comércio lie layers of terror and resurrection that most tourists never notice.
Unlock these secrets with this immersive self-guided audio tour. Navigate the winding streets at your own pace while uncovering the hidden political battles and scandalous rebellions that shaped this capital.
Why did the royal family abandon the National Theatre D. Maria II during its most desperate hour? What dark pact was signed in the shadow of the Arch moments before the rebellion ignited? Which forgotten architect hid a coded warning inside the city’s stone foundation?
Feel the pulse of history thrumming beneath your feet as you traverse cobblestones stained by ancient ambition. Walk through the ghosts of revolution and emerge with a transformed perspective on this resilient metropolis.
Claim the city for yourself and begin your journey.
