Jewish History, Memory and Guided Tours
Jewish Lisbon Tours with Patricia, member of the local Jewish community for 40 years.
More than just a Jewish heritage tour, it is the best way to discover Lisbon's most beautiful and iconic
neighborhoods.
All tours are based on decades of historical and genealogical research.
They are designed for visitors who want to understand in depth, not just see.
It is much more than a simple standard sightseeing walk:
Patricia offers a unique and intimate perspective that you will not find in any guidebook,
sharing her personal knowledge of the Portuguese Jewish soul, from the Golden Age to the moving stories of World War II refugees.
A physically gentle experience:
This tour is specifically designed to be comfortable and accessible, especially for seniors:
. Effortless itinerary: We start at the highest point and descend gently.
. Relaxed pace: Short distances with many opportunities to sit and rest in beautiful locations.
. Adaptability: The pace and movements are taken into account as much as possible.
