About the Tour

This tour is about the relationship between Lisbon and the Tagus river.

Sophia de Mello Breyner, one of Portugal's greatest writers, wrote a poem about Lisbon that reads:

Here and there in Lisbon
In a hurry or distracted
We turn a corner and see the iridescent Tagus
And, suddenly, our body and soul have wings

During this tour, you will turn a corner and get a glimpse of the Tagus river many times. I hope that, like the poet, you’ll feel the magic of those moments.

Bring your camera because there are great photo opportunities along the way.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.

Directions to Starting Point

This tour starts at the coffee shop "A Brasileira" at R. Garrett 120, right in front of the subway exit. There are several parking garages in the area, but the best way to get to the starting point is to take the subway (metro). The station name is Baixa-Chiado and it is served by two lines. The green line (direction Cais do Sodré) and the blue line (direction Santa Apolonia).

Tips

Places to stop along the way

MUDE - Museu do Design e da Moda at R. Augusta, 24.

Best time of day

There'll be lots of opportunities to take great pictures, so this walk works well as long as there is daylight. The best times to capture Lisbon’s golden light is early in the morning or at the end of the afternoon. It is also great to photograph the city during the “blue hour,” which occurs about half an hour after sunset. At that time, the sky has a wonderful dark-blue color that creates beautiful images.

Precautions

There are many busy streets, so be careful while crossing. It can get hot in Lisbon during summer, so take some water with you. But don't worry if you forget, there are plenty of coffee shops en route.
