Things to do in Lisbon

Lisbon is where every OriginTours day trip begins: the river port of Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, and the starting point of the Age of Discovery.

The origin story

Lisbon

Lisbon was a port long before it was a capital. Phoenicians, Romans and Moors traded here before Afonso Henriques took the city in 1147. From Belém, at the mouth of the Tagus, the ships of the Age of Discovery set sail, and the Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém still stand from that age of voyages. Every OriginTours day trip starts from this river.
