Begin your evening at Praça Marquês de Pombal, a square that gives the walk an open and recognizable starting point. Continue to Teatro Nacional Dona Maria II and Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, pausing at each theatre to enjoy the city’s performance-world atmosphere as daylight fades. Finish at Chafariz da Esperança, where a fountain offers a quieter place to end the route. This short sequence brings together Lisbon’s public spaces, theatres and evening pauses without requiring a full night out.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.

Free to install · Every city’s featured walk is free, start to finish.

  • A guide who talks

    Narration at every stop, starting on its own as you arrive — phone in your pocket.

  • The route, followed

  • In four languages

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
