Dig deep.
Lisbon is the second-oldest capital city in Europe.
Join us on a trip uncovering Lisbon’s most distant histories. See tools used by Lisbon’s mysterious pre-historic peoples, the remnants left by Phoenecian and Carthaginian traders, to the ruins of the great monuments left by the Roman conquerors. Explore the city as it took its current shape as part of the great Islamic civilization of Al-Andalus, and was overtaken by a massive Crusader army led by the first people to call themselves “Portuguese.”
Tour highlights.
- A trip through a thousand years of history: from 200 BCE to 1147 CE.
- Explore the tools made by Lisbon’s earliest peoples in one of Lisbon’s great museums.
