Go uphill till the highest place in town, ride around the National Pantheon, through the flea market and over the tracks of the famous 28th tram. Be amazed with the incredible colourful sights over the São Vicente monastery, the São Jorge castle and the Tagus River.
Admire the traditional Calçada Portuguesa and the splendid buildings at Liberdade Avenue. Watch an iron elevator (Santa Justa lift) with more than 100 years go up, just next to Rossio square. Walk in to the hidden cultural house of Alentejo that used to be a Casino. Take a peek at the street performers and the delicious conventual sweets stores in Chiado.
It’s such a great opportunity to do this tour in the very first days of your Trip. Hear the stories, know the culture, and discover the secrets. After this tour, you’ll have a good insight of the City with out having to climb all hills to explore 🙂

Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest. If you’re unable to attend the make-up date, no problem – we’ll give you a full refund for your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.

Can I book for a friend / family member?

Sure! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. We do, however, reserve the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using RY Services.

I haven’t received a booking confirmation email, can you help?

Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll help. In some cases, you may have multiple emails associated on the Marketplace and this is causing some confusion. Reach out and we’ll do our best to sort it out!

If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes, you may transfer your booking to another Nation Member or Family/Friend. Please notify the City Manager as soon as possible to confirm the change. Please note, in the case of special dietary requirements, we might not be able to accommodate special requests on last minute changes. Any bookings that require advanced ticketing linked to an individual’s ID might not be approved.

Will I be able to work on this experience?

If you have to check in with work at any point during the scheduled time, we recommend confirming with the City Manager before booking.

I’m a Nation Member but not on an active program, can I still book?

We will always prioritize Remotes who are traveling with an active program on experiences. You may be able to book but there is a chance the City Manager will reach out to let you know we have to release your spot for an active Remote. If you’re in a city but not traveling with a program, we recommend reaching out to the City Manager on the Hub to confirm before booking.
