Overview

Discover Lisbon in the most romantic way possible, through its light, its poetry, and its most breathtaking viewpoints. Hello! My name is Bronwyn and I am a musician, a storyteller, and the founder of Mythic City Tours. My travels have taken me far and wide, but it was Lisbon that truly captured me most completely with its golden light, its echoes of fado in the alleyways, and its layers of myth and memory woven into every stone. This self-guided audio tour begins at the highest hilltop in Lisbon, Senhora de Monte, and will wind its way through eight of the city’s most enchanting viewpoints, ending with the sweeping views of the Tagus River at Miradouro de Santa Catarina. I recommend taking this tour in the late afternoon or early evening for your experience to be all the more magical. And I should tell you now, this isn’t just going to be a tour full of dates and facts and history. There are plenty of tours like that already in the city. No. This is a walk of a different kind: part audio guide, part love letter to Lisbon. Along the way, you’ll learn the myths and the legends that shaped Lisbon, hear the words of Portugal’s most beloved poets and have the chance to pause with gentle invitations to reflect and truly feel the city. I’m an unabashed romantic at heart and if you feel the same way, I'm very glad we found each other and I do hope you will choose this audio tour to help you delve deeper into the stories, the romance and the magic of this very special city.

Finally a Lisbon tour that feels like a love letter to the city I walked with my own pace. The audio guide is warm and musical and the late afternoon light on the viewpoints was pure magic.

Self guided is exactly what I wanted and the route from Senhora de Monte to Santa Catarina unfolded at a comfortable pace. I loved the quiet moments where the narration let me soak in the views and the soft fado hints.

Arrived tired after a long day but the rhythm of the narration made the walk feel light. The viewpoints were stunning and the sunset made everything look golden.

Honestly I did not expect a tour to feel like a poem and a map at once. I opted to adjust my path a little and the audio adapts so well that it felt personal.

Great pacing and the changes in scenery kept me from zoning out. The audio sounded great and the route offered there and back vantage points that I cherished.
