Queer Lisbon Historical Tour
Overview
This tour delves into the history of Portugal, offering an in-depth exploration of the nation's past through the lenses of colonialism, lusotropicalism, and their lasting effects on our views of sexuality and gender. We'll also share good laughs along the way!
We trace the footsteps of Portuguese imperial enterprise, the transformative 25th April Revolution, and the impactful LGBTQ+ figures of that era, leading us to today's queer movements. The tour brings us to the heart of today’s queer movements, concluding at one of the city's best queer venues, where we celebrate our shared journey over the most amazing Portuguese tapas.
We also provide a beautifully curated Queer Map of Lisbon, featuring detailed information about venues, artists, and services, all handpicked by locals.
