A fascinating look at the 'hidden' Lisbon, this tour reveals the pervasive influence of Masonic symbolism in the city's post-earthquake reconstruction.

Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marquis of Pombal, a man deeply connected to Enlightenment ideals and, as many believe, Masonic secrets. This tour takes you through the heart of the city to decode the symbols hidden in plain sight, from the geometric layout of the streets to specific details on building facades.

The experience is structured as a series of challenges that lead you from the riverside up into the historic center. It’s perfect for travelers who enjoy Dan Brown-style mysteries and want to see the city from a more philosophical and esoterical perspective.

With over 120 reviews, it’s one of the most popular Questo games in Lisbon. It manages to balance the fun of a scavenger hunt with genuine historical insights into how the Freemasons helped shape the modern identity of Portugal.
