What you can expect

A tour of Lisbon's fascinating, scandalous (sometime bizarre!) queer history - and we pass by all the main gay scene venues. Plus, you get a free copy of the updated ‘Alex’s LONG LIST Guide to LGBTQ Lisbon & Portugal' (readable on mobiles and downloadable as a PDF).

You'll hear stories and anecdotes from centuries of scandalous, fascinating, triumphant queer history - and we explore today's gay scene venues at the same time.

Bring queer Lisbon alive through fun anecdotes and insights - and find the corners of Lisbon's queer scene venues that suit you best.

Come solo or with friends - meet new people and have fun getting to know Lisbon. The characters and stories from queer history are often fun scandals and you'll get to hear the stories in the places where history happened. And you get the monthly update of 'Alex's LONG LIST' guide to queer Lisbon (150 pages).

History highlights include: how the Inquisition dealt with gay men, how lesbians battled 1960s censorship, 17thCentury cruising sites, stories from 19thCentury sex-work, lesbian nuns, why ‘Fado’ is queer, how Pride is different in Portugal, gay men dodging the 1950s police, how bisexual jazz-legend Josephine Baker was a spy in WWII, a Trans love storey from the 1800s, the ‘Two Fernandes’, how LGBT rights were established in Portugal, how the first drag shows started, gay writers, queer pop stars, straight censors, disgraced politicians - all this and more as we also pass by the modern gay scene.

Suitable for solo-travellers. 4km (2.5miles). 3.5 hours. Age:16+ £50.

Meeting point: In the garden square of Principe Real; Outside number 18, Praça/Jardim do Príncipe Real; by the children's play corner. We are easy to find – just look for the Rainbow Umbrella!
