The tour begins at Rossio Square, Lisbon's historic central plaza, before passing the ornate Santa Justa Elevator, a 19th-century iron structure that connects the lower Baixa district to the Carmo neighborhood above.

The tuk tuk climbs to the Graça neighborhood, stopping at the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte for an unobstructed panoramic view over the castle, the historic center, and the Tagus. Nearby, the Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints offer additional perspectives over Alfama's rooftops.

Descending through São Vicente, the route passes the 16th-century monastery and the National Pantheon before the group disembarks for a walking exploration of Alfama. The guide leads the way through narrow alleys to the El-Rei Chafariz, Lisbon's oldest public fountain, built in the 13th century.

The route continues to the Lisbon Cathedral, the oldest church in the city, before reaching Praça do Comércio and the Rua Augusta Arch on the riverfront. The tuk tuk then climbs to Chiado, passing the historic Bertrand Bookstore and Largo do Carmo, the square connected to the events of April 25, 1974.

A short detour through Bairro Alto's cobbled streets leads to the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, a viewpoint with a sweeping view toward São Jorge Castle, Baixa, and the river beyond. The neighborhood's centuries-old architecture and local café culture offer a contrast to the more tourist-facing areas visited earlier.

The final stretch covers the neoclassical Palácio de São Bento, the Basilica da Estrela opposite the Jardim da Estrela, and concludes at Parque Eduardo VII, where a broad green esplanade frames a final view down Avenida da Liberdade toward the river.
