Overview

You will have a full immersion experience, getting into the narrative and historical context of a book: : The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, by Richard Zimler.

The walking tour starts at the Little Judiaria (jewish ghetto) in Alfama, through the Great Judiaria, or Small Jerusalem, finishing at the Rossio square to witness the terrible pogrom in 1506.

You will visit the ancient city buried under our feet, that you can only see if you close your eyes.

A tour for the curious traveler tempted by something special and alternative to the mass tourism attractions.

Although the tour is accessible to most people, you will find narrow streets, bumpy paving and stairs in some places, which makes it more difficult if you use a wheelchair or baby trolley and may not be able to approach certain spots.

What's Included

  • From curious mind to curious mind, thorough and sensitive explanations along the tour.
  • Reading of the most fascinating and intriguing passages of the book.
  • Two-page booklet for souvenir
  • Transportation to the meeting point and from the ending point; food and drink.
