What you can expect

Join a walking tour and uncover the forgotten Black history of Lisbon. Learn how the city was deeply shaped by the transatlantic slave trade and how its legacy continues to influence Portuguese society today.

Begin your tour at the iconic riverside squares where enslaved people arrived as cargo. Hear documented stories of enslaved women working in city markets, Black religious brotherhoods offering dignity and mutual aid, and burial sites quietly absorbed into the modern city.

Visit the first Black neighborhoods outside of Africa where Black Lisboetas lived, worked, prayed, and built community. Gain a deeper understanding of how Lisbon functioned within the Black Atlantic world and how its legacy greatly shapes Portuguese society today.

By the end of the tour, leave with a powerful human perspective and a deeper appreciation of the city of Lisbon.
