Praça Dom Pedro IV

Join us a bit before 10:30 by the statue at the center of Praça Dom Pedro IV. Our team is easy to identify using white umbrellas with our company branding Live History Walking Tours.

Please take special attention that it is not the subway or train station called Rossio, but a big oval square called Praça Dom Pedro IV with a statue on a high pedestal and two fountains on each side.

Things to note

Comfortable shoes and a water bottle are advisable.

These are free walking tours: donations are asked for at the end, so do not forget us when the time comes to pass the hat :)

Baby strollers should be avoided on this tour because there are a lot of hilly paths and stairs.
