What To Expect
Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)
Praça do Comércio, still commonly referred to by its former name of (the) Terreiro do Paço, is a square in downtown Lisbon located next to the Tagus river, in the area being the site of the palace of the kings of Portugal for about two centuries and which today is partially occupied by some government departments. It is one of the largest squares in Europe, measuring around 36,000 m² (180m x 200m). The square is bordered by 79 arches. It is considered a historic symbol of political power and manifestation of capital in Portugal. This symbology is generally associated with state centralism. In 1511, King D. Manuel I transferred his residence from Castelo de São Jorge to this location by the river. The Paço da Ribeira, as well as its library of 70,000 volumes, were destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. In the reconstruction, coordinated by Eugénio dos Santos, the square became a fundamental element of the plan of the Marquês de Pombal.
Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte
The viewpoint is located in front of the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte. From it you can see, to the south, the Sea of Palha, the Castle of São Jorge, part of downtown Lisbon and the estuary of the Tagus River, to the west, from Bairro Alto to Parque Florestal de Monsanto and, to the north , the valley of Avenida Almirante Reis. Beside this viewpoint is the small and ancient chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte (classified as a Public Interest Property), founded in 1147 and dedicated to São Gens, the bishop who, according to tradition, was martyred here. It was on this old Mount of São Gens that D. Afonso Henriques set up camp for the conquest of the city. The viewpoint is located in the churchyard of the small chapel and was renovated twice in the 20th century. As it is located at the highest point of Bairro da Graça, it is one of the places with the best panoramic views of the city, especially over Mouraria and São Jorge Castle.

5.00We were 5 friends visiting Portugal for 10 days. Fernando picked us up from the airport with a sparkling clean and comfortable car and for 10 days took us to the most beautiful tour through Portugal. Fernando is a lovely person, great driver and was very helpful with all we asked and needed. We warmly recommend his services and wish you to have a great Portugal tour as we did.

5.00Fernando is reliable, knowledgeable, and fun. He has perfect English (and native Portuguese). He understands your interests and will target his tour to sites and places, especially for you.
Happy and saw lesser known places.

5.00We used AP Tours based on a friends recommendation and were very happy. We felt we got to see the best of Lisbon without necessarily climbing every hill. Fernando also brought us to lesser know neighborhoods like Marvila which we would not have discovered.
A great way to get to know and experience the beauty of Portugal!

5.00We have worked with this company two years in a row. The APTours guide and driver Fernando is very knowledgeable about the entire metro Lisbon area and his lovely country. For the Lisbon tour, he was courteous, on time and extremely flexible, even dropping us off at the end of the day in Cascais when we wanted to spend a bit more time there rather than return to our hotel. The second time we used PT Tours was for a transfer from Lisbon to the Algarve. It was such a pleasure to be met at the airport by a smiling face and not have to worry about renting a car or finding our vacation rental. Fernando is a true professional and we would highly recommend him to anyone needing an expert and ultra professional tour guide.
