About this tour
This session walks Campo de Ourique's residential grid, a planned neighbourhood most visitors only pass through on the way to the market. You see a quiet street of low apartment buildings, then a small square built into the original block layout. It shows a Lisbon that most visitors never notice, calm and largely unchanged.
We check the connection on the residential block, then move to the square for the second stop, taking your questions about the neighbourhood's planning along the way. I send a short list of streets covered once the session ends.
It suits anyone curious about how Lisbon's residential neighbourhoods are laid out beyond the historic centre, and repeat visitors who already know the market. This session covers only public streets and squares, not the inside of any building.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
