A Curated Series: Insider Access to the World’s Most Inspiring Cities
Welcome to our Curated Series, where Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited opens the secret doors, books the tables everyone whispers about, and designs immersive, boutique days that you simply can’t create on your own. (Because let’s be honest — you can’t VIP yourself.)
Today, we’re diving into Lisbon — Portugal’s sun-drenched, tile-adorned beauty, where tradition and trendiness dance on every charming corner.
Here’s your perfectly curated day in Lisbon, crafted with insider flair and boutique touches at every turn.
Morning: Alfama Awakening
Private Walking Tour of Alfama: Start your day with a local historian who opens doors to secret courtyards and hidden viewpoints most visitors never find.
Espresso & Pastel de Nata Stop: Skip the tourist bakeries. We’ll guide you to a tucked-away pastelaria where locals start their day (and yes, you’ll want two).
Pro Tip: Time your walk early to catch the golden light bouncing off Alfama’s azulejo-covered walls. Your Instagram will thank you.
Late Morning: Arts & Avenue Chic
Private Visit to Atelier Joana Vasconcelos: Get exclusive access to Portugal’s most famous contemporary artist’s private workshop (available only through insider arrangements).
Avenida da Liberdade Stroll: Think Lisbon’s answer to the Champs-Élysées, but with more soul. Stop for a boutique shopping spree featuring Portuguese designers.
Insider Tip: We can arrange private style consultations or custom fragrance experiences with Lisbon’s top artisans.
Lunch: Alfresco Elegance
Lunch at Prado: Farm-to-table Portuguese cuisine in a chic, greenery-filled space. Fresh, local, and effortlessly stylish.
Pro Tip: We reserve the best tables in advance — and can arrange a kitchen meet-and-greet if you’re curious about the culinary magic.
Afternoon: Beyond the Usual
Private Tram 28 Experience: Instead of jostling for space, hop a privately chartered ride along Lisbon’s iconic route.
Exclusive Tile Workshop: Create your own traditional azulejo tile with a master artisan at a hidden studio — a hands-on souvenir you’ll actually want to keep.
Insider Tip: We time your private tram ride to catch fewer crowds and golden afternoon light.
Sunset: Rooftop Reverie
Drinks at Sky Bar by SEEN: Panoramic views of Lisbon’s skyline, the Tagus River, and the perfect setting for a sparkling toast.
Pro Tip: We reserve VIP seating so your sunset moment is all views, no elbowing.
Dinner: Culinary Grandeur
Dinner at Belcanto: Two Michelin stars, historic charm, and a modern take on Portuguese classics from Chef José Avillez.
Insider Tip: Our connections allow for early access to coveted reservations — and sometimes a personalized kitchen tour.
Nightcap: Soulful Sounds
Private Fado Performance: Cap off the night with a private or semi-private fado concert in a historic tavern. Feel Lisbon’s beating heart through its haunting music.
Pro Tip: We arrange performances in atmospheric, authentic spaces, not tourist traps.
