Lisbon saves its best light for the end of the day, when the tiles catch fire and the river turns to gold. This relaxed evening walk starts at the Santa Catarina viewpoint and drifts downhill through the Chiado and Baixa as the street lamps come on, finishing among the arcades of Praça do Comércio and the riverside energy of Cais do Sodré.

Along the way your guide unpacks how lisboetas actually spend their evenings — which miradouros locals claim at sunset, where fado spills out of small doorways in Alfama, and which riverside kiosks pour the fairest-priced glass of wine in town.
