1.Queer Lisbon – A Treasure Hunt in LGBT History

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 71 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Join Alex for a 3.5-hour English walking tour through Lisbon’s LGBTQ history, from Pride and protest to drag, nightlife, literature, and legal rights. The group visits 24 stops, then ends at Late Birds Hotel with a pub quiz, prizes, and a useful LGBTQ Lisbon guide.

“Alex has so much knowledge on the queer history of the city and Portugal and also pointed out some cool bars/clubs. The stop on bisexual icon Josephine Baker who performed in Lisbon as a disguise for her spy activities was my favorite (picture). Alex always has a back story on the aspects you are most interested in! I also loved how vibrantly he told the stories. The queer guide of the city Alex wrote helped me navigate to some unknown gems and free activities. 100% recommend and I’m looking forward to take more queer history tours in other cities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️”
