The Experience

I’ll admit it — I booked the Lisbon tuk tuk tour mostly because I was tired of climbing those hills. But honestly? Riding through Alfama in that little electric tuk tuk felt like cheating in the best possible way. Our driver, João, had this habit of waving at nearly everyone (I guess he knows half the city). The breeze carried that salty river smell and sometimes you’d catch a whiff of grilled sardines from somewhere nearby. We zipped past the Sé Cathedral just as its bells went off — louder than you’d think when you’re right there.

We stopped at Santa Luzia Viewpoint and João pointed out rooftops layered like red dominoes tumbling toward the Tagus. He handed us tiny cups of Ginjinha — cherry liqueur, sweet but with a bite — and told us his grandmother used to sneak sips before church. I tried to say “obrigado” properly; he grinned and corrected me (twice). The view from Senhora do Monte was something else, all sunlight on tile and laundry flapping between windows. It wasn’t even noon but Bairro Alto was already waking up, cafés dragging chairs outside, someone humming fado behind a shuttered door.

I didn’t expect the tuk tuk to get so close to places like Rossio Square or squeeze through Mouraria’s tangled streets — honestly, sometimes it felt like we were gliding through someone’s living room. João shared stories about the earthquake at Largo do Carmo and pointed out where Tram 28 would rattle by (we saw it once, packed to bursting). There’s something about seeing Lisbon this way that sticks with you; maybe it’s the mix of old stones and new graffiti or just how friendly people are when you’re not behind glass.
