Lisbon Deep Walks - Expats & Locals

Walk Intro (See Gallery below)

Water shows in Lisbon in many forms and functions, from the past to the present, so instead of focusing in a given Barrio, we will traverse many city different áreas, some central and some hidden

From lakes, to fountains, passing by the aqueduct and even a Summer urban pool, we will uncover how Water makes up for a surprising and dynamic part of Lisbon

Walk Intro (See Gallery below)

Benfica quarter is clearly urban but it borders many city outskirts and big parks, showing several remanences of was still the countryside, when Lisbon was smaller

A surprising mix of urban and park birds can be seen, from the smallest Wrens, to bigger Herons, including (believe it or not) Peregrine Falcon, if we get lucky

I worked 21 years in Nature Conservation in Lisbon, so count on some knowledgeable guidance

Walk Intro (See Gallery below)

Estrela and Lapa are already out of the beaten path, but at night they become even more special: calm, quiet and still filled with picturesque places, noble buildings and secret viewpoints

Discover a more noble and sober, yet also diverse and historical, part of Lisbon, where contrasts and urban landscapes are extremely diverse

Meeting & End Point

Walk Intro (See Gallery below)

The riverside in the North of Parque das Nações is not far from Tejo Nature Reserve in a straight path and offers good samples of wetlands vegetation, attracting many surprising species, sometimes even Flamingos

The walk will offer a transition from a carefully planed Mediterranean riverside park, into a proper wetland habitat, so expect anything from Goldfinches and Great Tits, to Cormorants and Herons, also (believe it or not) Peregrine Falcon, if we get lucky
