23.6 Seconds for perfection
Only have a limited time in Lisbon?
Let us make every second of it special for you.
With the help of our friends at Quimera Brewpub we can show you that perfection can be achieved in just 23.8 seconds!
There are many reasons why we love our 'Hidden Lisbon: Alcântara' tour but Sundays at the LX factory is right at the top.
It my be a little overpriced and hipstertastic today, but there is no doubt that this project played a huge role in the regeneration of this beautiful neighbourhood.

Lisbon can definetly feel old school at times. But thats just part of it's charm.
Food Tour development is the best type of tour development

According to legend, on the night between 4th and 5th of August in AD 352, a wealthy Roman patrician had a vision in his sleep of the Virgin Mary, who told him to build a church dedicated to her wherever snow fell in the city that night. Pope Liberius had the same vision. The next morning they discovered that snow had fallen on the Esquiline, Rome's highest hill during sweltering heat of the summer! The pope etched out the shape of the church with a stick in the snow, and to this day the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore remains the largest church dedicated to the Virgin in the city.
The miracle is now reenacted every year outside the basilica on the evening of August 5th. So if you want to see what snow looks like in the Eternal City on a balmy night in August then head down to the basilica tonight between 9pm and midnight!
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the centre and take in one of the most spectacular views in the city for free! Head to Rome's Gianicolo hill that soars up behind the neighbourhood of Trastevere. The views of the city are unrivalled from here as you look over the rooftops, domes and bell towers. Its an amazing place to go at sunset (or sunrise!), and there's a kiosk where you can grab a beer and go sit on the wall and take in the view. Get off the beaten track and go explore! #offthebeatenpath #travelcurious #wanderlustwednesday #theroguehistorians
