Lisbon Tuk Tuk

Take a Tuk Tuk tour and get a quick history of Lisbon

Take a Tuk Tuk tour on Day 1 of Lisbon your stay and it will help you plan the rest of your holiday.

The Tuk Tuks in Lisbon are the perfect vehicle to manoeuvre around the winding and ancient streets of Lisbon and get to places the Hop-On Hop-Off buses can’t get to.

Tuk Tuks are great if you want a whistle stop tour of the main Lisbon sites and attractions and guides who drive them have a great knowledge of the history of the city. Your Tuk-Tuk guide will give you a basic history lesson on Lisbon, explaining the influence and impact of the Moors, earthquakes, tsunamis, kings and popes.

Lisbon is built on seven hills and and so there are many spectacular viewpoints over the city. These viewpoints are called Miradouro and your guide will also bring you to visit some of these. Looking out from the Miradouro will give you a great perspective of the Lisbon landscape and will help you to get your bearings for the rest of your break.

Tuk Tuk tours are also great fun on a Lisbon family holiday.

The tours take about 1.5 to 3 hours and Tuk Tuks carry 2-6 persons depending on the vehicle .

Recent local legislation has meant that Tuk Tuks should only pick up and drop off at designated locations and don’t be shy about haggling over the price. Local government has also introduced a programme to replace the petrol vehicles with electric alternatives.
