Walking Tours
Lisbon is a city that invites a stroll around its unique neighbourhoods - notably Chiado, Bairro Alto, Mouraria and Alfama. Turismo de Lisboa publishes self-guided walking tours.

Bus Tours
Standard bus tours are offered by Cityrama (tel: (21) 319 1085; website: www.cityrama.pt), including Sintra, Cascais and Estoril. Tours depart from Praça Marqués de Pombal, although pick-up can be organised from a number of hotels. Similar half-day tours are offered by Portugal Tours (tel: (21) 319 1090; website: www.portugaltours.pt), departing from Marquês de Pombal Square.
Cityline (tel: (21) 352 2594; website: www.cityline-sightline.pt) runs an open-top bus service.

Tram Tours
Carristur (tel: (21) 361 3000; website: www.carris.pt) operates a city tour in a restored tramcar. The tram takes one-and-a-half hours to travel through the historical sights of Lisbon, departing from the Praça do Comércio and passing the cathedral and castle. It also runs historical tours of the city with actors dressed as significant characters from Lisbon's past.
A much cheaper and often more enjoyable option is a trip on one of the city's rumbling old public trams.
