Overview

A six-hour look at how Lisbon was built and rebuilt, from medieval traces and the reconstruction of Baixa after 1755 to 20th-century housing, modernism and the Expo '98 district. The route moves beyond the historic centre, and the metro can be part of the journey. It suits anyone who enjoys architecture and history and wants more than the main sights.
