Lisbon: The City of Seven Hills
Lisbon is allegedly the City of Seven Hills—though let’s be honest, it feels more like seventy. The original list dates back to Roman times and includes São Jorge, São Vicente, São Roque, Santo André, Santa Catarina, Chagas, and Sant’Ana. But if you’ve ever walked around Lisbon, you know there are way more than seven hills to conquer.
Throw in uneven cobblestones, hidden staircases, and steep alleyways, and you’ve got yourself a full-body workout disguised as sightseeing. Sure, these hills are part of Lisbon’s charm. They give you dramatic views, winding streets, and photo-worthy corners—but they also test your calves, knees, and will to keep going.
Even the fittest travelers admit that sightseeing here can turn into a sweaty uphill slog. So what’s the best way to see it all—without the sore feet, heavy breathing, or the “I need a break” face?

What hills do tuk tuk tours cover in Lisbon?
Tuk tuk tours with Just Tour It cover Lisbon’s steepest, most iconic hills:
São Jorge Hill – Skip the 30-minute uphill climb. Ride straight to the castle and enjoy the view.
Alfama’s Slopes – This maze of cobblestone lanes climbs up from the river. With a tuk tuk, you get all the charm, none of the leg pain.
Graça + Senhora do Monte – One of the best viewpoints in Lisbon, but hard to reach on foot. Our tours take you right there.
Bairro Alto – Famous for food and nightlife, but it’s a tough evening walk. Glide up in style for dinner.
