Guided Morning Walk in Lisbon Before Web Summit

​Most of us came to Lisbon to work. The week runs from the venue to meetings, from meetings to evening events, and the city mostly stays outside the taxi window.

​This is one hour to actually see it, before Thursday’s sessions begin.

​We gather at 8:15 on Thursday, 12 November, at Pastelaria Saga on Largo da Graça, a neighbourhood bakery whose pastéis de nata Time Out places among the best in the city, to pick up a coffee and a pastel de nata, and set off at 8:30.

​From there we walk down through old Lisbon with a local guide, stopping only where it is worth stopping: the viewpoints over Alfama and the river, the cathedral, and the arch on Rua Augusta, with time for photos rather than a long list of sights.

​The pace is easy, and there is no agenda beyond the walk and whatever conversations happen along the way.

​We finish at 9:30 on Praça do Comércio, a five-minute walk from the Baixa-Chiado metro, so you can be at FIL in time for the morning programme.

​Capacity is limited, so registration is by approval.
