Hidden Almada Awaits

Just across the river from Lisbon, explore Almada’s rich history and vibrant viewpoints on a free walking tour.

Meet Your Local Guide

Hello! My name is Felipe, and I’d love to be your local guide in Almada.

I grew up in a small village in central Portugal and later studied law at the University of Coimbra. After moving to Lisbon for work, I eventually settled in Almada in 2020...and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Almada is full of history, unique viewpoints, and a more authentic, relaxed atmosphere compared to Lisbon. Over time, I started discovering places and stories that most visitors never get to see.

That’s why I created this tour, to share a different side of the Lisbon area with those willing to cross the river and explore beyond the usual tourist paths.
