History
Lisbon, often called the “City of Seven Hills,” has been shaped by its unique topography since its founding by Phoenicians around 1200 BCE, with its hills serving as strategic vantage points for Romans, Moors, and later Portuguese rulers. The city’s historic neighborhoods, like Alfama and Penha de França, grew organically around these hills, preserving medieval and Mannerist architecture, such as the São Vicente de Fora Monastery, built in the 16th century. The Ascensor da Lavra, opened in 1884, was one of Lisbon’s first funiculars, designed to conquer the steep inclines and connect the city’s lower and upper districts.
The Feira da Ladra flea market, dating back to the 13th century, reflects Lisbon’s vibrant trading culture, while viewpoints like Miradouro da Graça offer glimpses into the city’s maritime past along the Tejo River. This electric bike tour leverages modern e-bike technology to explore Lisbon’s historic hills, blending the city’s ancient roots with its dynamic present, offering panoramic views and cultural insights.
