What each tour covers

• The Quarter That Outlived the Quake: The morning of the first of November, seventeen fifty-five, erased most of Lisbon in a single stroke. This walk climbs the one neighborhood that stood, reading the city's oldest surviving layer from its Moorish maze up to the castle and back down to the song it gave the world.
• The Threshold of the Ocean: Walk the riverbank at Belem, where Portuguese ships once set out to redraw the map of the world, and read the stone a small kingdom raised to remember doing so.
