Informazioni sull'attività

The Tiles (azulejo in Portuguese) is one of the strongest cultural expressions in Portugal. With this tour we'll check, mostly outdoors, tiles artworks from the 16th till the 21st century. It's a special opportunity to meet Lisbon in a totally different perspective. I'll tell you unique stories and we'll visit unexpected places. The itinerary is about tiles but never dissociated of the history and the stories. To end the tour we will have the opportunity to taste a codfish cake. Expect the Unexpected
