Rossio square– starting point of Lisbon escape game
This is one of the main and one of the biggest squares in Lisbon. This place takes you back to the 13th century days. It was under usage for popular events, revolts, celebrations, and such things in the older times. However, now things have changed, and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Lisbon.
Foz Palace
When you get to the southeast of the city, there will be a Parka dos Restauradores. This is the square that is surrounded by a lot of buildings. However, out of all of those buildings, the best one is the Foz Palace. This is the building that will take you to the 18th century days.
Here not only the exterior is remarkable, but the interior has stunning views as well. Do not miss the chance to visit the local shops here.
Sao Roque church
If you are up for some stunning views, then this is the best place for you. While the church looks okay from the outside, its real beauty lies on the inside. It is because this church has a stunning interior decoration. This decoration will make your jaw drop for sure.
One of the many reasons for this is that the interior takes you back to the 17th-century themes. An interesting thing about this church is that the main design of the church is “auditorium-church” which makes it unique from the inside.
Miraduro de Sao Pedro Alcantara
While you are in Lisbon, there is no place better than this to start your trip. Well, this is because of the beauty of this point in the city. Additionally, there is a map of the city entirely made with tiles that can give you an overview of everything that you are going to see ahead.
Not only this but there is a geometric garden here that contains a lot of busts from the Greco-Roman mythology which will provide some history exploring as well.
Luis de Camoes square
Apart from all the squares in Lisbon, this holds a lot of historic value for the people of Lisbon. At the same time, this is one of the most attractive tourist attractions. This is because this square has a bronze statue of the national poet. Under that statute, there are 8 smaller statues of the other popular personalities who historically link to the literature of this location.
Teatro São Carlos
This is an opera house that dates back to the late 18th century. The reason for the building of this opera house is that the older Tejo Opera House was got under destruction in the earthquake, so this was a replacement. Talking about the interior of the building, it has a sober façade. Well, the views of the building are exceptional from the inside and the outside as well.
Praca do comercio
This is going to be the part of your trip where you will be exploring the most. It is because here everything is present in the best manner. The veers, the architecture, the public, and most importantly the shops and the locals here.
So, while you are enjoying the views of the harbor you can get something local or traditional to eat. This place also has the statue of King Jose that was made in the late 18th century.
Lisbon cathedral – ending point of Lisbon escape game
You can call this one of the oldest places that you will make a part of your Lisbon exploring tour. It is because this place will take you back to the 12th century days. Being a national monument, this building has gone through renovation several times. This means that you can experience how beautiful this building and area are.

We did the World City Trail Lisbon – Escape Game. We did this tour with our two teen boys (15 & 18), who enjoyed this much more than the traditional walking tour we did on our last visit to Lisbon a few years ago. We visited 10 points of interest around the city, places you would definitely visit on other walking tours. So I wouldn’t do this trail and another walking tour on the same visit.
The boys enjoyed solving the puzzles, which were relatively easy to solve but fun. After you solve the puzzle, you get a Google map point for the next location, which is easy to follow. This is better than other puzzle trails we’ve done, where we have to do a lot of guessing to find the next clue location.
It’s a lot of walking (about 4km), so best with older kids. It took us about 2 hours to complete.
The historical info about each destination is interesting and concise, and thankfully easy to skim quickly as my kids wanted to hurry to the next destination.
Tips:
– I suggest taking public transport to the starting point (which is on a hill). We walked there from our hotel and ended up walking some of the same streets we later walked on the tour, which seemed like a waste.
– You only need a ticket for each phone you want to use the app on. After buying the tickets, you get a separate activation code for each ticket you purchased. You install the mobile app on each phone and enter one of the activation codes on each phone.
It’s more fun if each person has a phone, so you can each separately look at the puzzles and clues on your own phone (our group was competitive and tried to solve the puzzles before each other). But if you have a child without a phone, they don’t need a ticket, they can just look at the parent’s phone.
– Each phone needs mobile data during the tour for it to work. So if only one person if your group has a data plan in Portugal (the case for many travelers), they will need to hotspot the rest of the group.
– Make sure all the phones are fully charged and bring portable chargers. Our batteries drained quickly since the phones were basically on during the whole 2 hours and we were using apps like google maps to navigate.
Overall we liked it and would probably try World City Trails in other cities.
