Your Lisbon
from the very first moment

I love history, urban art and food and those are the things that make me go around town exploring every chance i get. I am also a very experienced traveler which means i can put myself in your shoes and assist you with anything you might need in beautiful Lisbon.

In 2018, I moved to Lisbon, and I have loved every minute of it! I work as a Financial Manager, but I also have a part-time job as a Sports Statistician Reporter. Currently, I live in Costa da Caparica, one of the closest beaches to Lisbon. I believe Lisbon is a very special and unique location, with lots of history, old and new, and a very strong cultural identity. I love to explore the city and its narrow streets and find new flavors and new people on each corner. Food and drinks are definitely among the strengths of the city, and I am a big fan of both! Nightlife is also a very relevant aspect of the city. There is nothing better than to explore Bairro Alto or Cais do Sodré, two of the typical neighborhoods of Lisbon, looking for the best jam to dance to or the best place to relax with your friends. There are also big musical, cultural, and sporting events that keep the visitors occupied all the time. I am a big fan of Sporting Clube de Portugal, and I love to attend football matches at the Estádio José Alvalade. The weather is, obviously, one of the big strong points of Lisbon, with lots of breathtaking beaches scattered all around the region, with Costa da Caparica being one of the most famous. I think I can be a very good host because I am an extroverted person, I have a very good general knowledge, I love to teach people the things I know about my country, and I think I can give visitors a different experience and show them things they wouldn't normally see in the common tours around the city. I bet I can find some excellent Instagrammable places for those who are interested!"

Jaime has been wandering the world in a long journey that has driven him to Lisbon over and over again. A city that has to be discovered step by step, following a river of intoxicating beauty, and listening to the voice of its inhabitants, sometimes wild and fierce, some others, mild and smooth.

I'm Francisco :) I´m a local guide, born and raised in sintra. I heard many legends about mysticism, secrets and sintra stories. Later I joined a group in sintra and deepened my historical knowledge and the Portuguese spiritual tradition linked to the Templars and Cathars. The passion for history comes from my father, a history teacher. Now, I'm responsible for showing the bases of the Gnostic/alchemical ritual in a guided view of Sintra and Quinta-da-Regaleira, and the keeper of the first door to sintra spirituality.

Everywhere I go I will always have a trivia to share or will try to get people into having a bite in a local restaurant or to look at a place in a different angle. I do believe places are made of people crossings and mixes - Lisbon is a tale a of cultures around centuries. Whenever I travel, I try to make sure I get to know locals and interact with them, so it would be my pleasure to show "my places" to someone who doesn't know Portugal as I do. At the present moment, I work as a documentary photographer for one of the parish councils in the city hall, so my main day-to-day functions envolve walking around town photographing events, landscapes and cultural and political gatherings, making my knowledge about Lisbon to grow further.
