About this tour
Twelve stops on one thread: the 1755 earthquake split Lisbon into a rational Pombaline grid and a hill maze that refused to die. Praça do Comércio, Rua Augusta, Rossio, São Domingos, Santa Justa, Carmo ruins, the Sé, Santa Luzia azulejos, Portas do Sol, São Jorge Castle, São Vicente de Fora and the National Pantheon. About 3.5 km. Self-guided in the StepQuests app.
