    Amazing architecture and fabulous vibe during the tour

    We began at Commerce Square, where we were treated to breathtaking views of the 25th of April Bridge and the Tagus river. Our journey continued to the iconic Santa Justa Elevator and the picturesque Rossio Square, both of which left a lasting impression. A poignant moment was our visit to the Church of São Domingos and the memorial honoring the victims of the tragic Jewish massacre of 1506. This tour provided a deep insight into the past and present of the Baixa neighborhood, making it a highly recommended experience for anyone keen on discovering Lisbon's cultural heritage.
