What to expect

A nearly 200-year-old pastry shop: where Lisbon starts its morning

Your tour begins at one of Lisbon's legendary pastry shops, a place that has been feeding the neighborhood for close to two centuries. You'll start with Portuguese coffee and a selection of pastries chosen by the shop, while your guide explains which ones the neighborhood has been arguing about for decades. The display cases haven't changed since the shop first opened.

The city's oldest grocery store: salt cod, Iberian ham, and a thousand recipes

Shelves of dried bacalhau, whole legs of acorn-fed Iberian ham, and jars of preserved goods line the walls. The Portuguese have over a thousand recipes for salt cod, and your guide will tell you how a country with this much coastline ended up building its cuisine around a fish preserved in salt from the North Atlantic. You'll taste the ham sliced to order.
