City Centre Run In Lisbon

Fantastic morning run through Lisbon with Pedro. He was friendly, perfect pacer, had designed a perfect 10K route to see highlights of the city, learn some history and get some great recommendations. 10 out of 10 - definitely recommend!

What a wonderful way to see the city of Lisbon and a great start to my day! Pedro let me pace the run while he led the tour, covering different neighborhoods and stopping to highlight points of interest along the way. The run was perfectly timed - I felt like I had a true running partner! Better yet, as a local resident, he knows the city inside out and was highly informative. All paces are truly welcome — get up early and see the city while it is just waking up!

I never write reviews but wanted to share what a great experience this was. I’m horrible with names so unfortunately I can’t call my tour guide runner out by name but he was great. He provided a great history of Lisbon while we ran through the city streets with plenty of opportunities to take pictures and he adjusted the pace to fit my preference. If you considering booking this tour don’t hesitate it was a great experience.

Just do it. Awesome experience and was taken to the best spots before it became too crowded. He knew his stuff about the city and events. Would recommend.

This was an excellent way to see the best of Lisbon. It was early enough to beat the traffic and crowds, opportunities for excellent photos, and to cover the most distance and sights. Pedro was a great tour guide, sharing interesting facts and history along the route. What a great experience and a highlight of Lisbon for me!

I was collected at my hotel at 7 am on the dot by a very pleasant engaging and informed guide. We we had a lovely brisk run along the waterfront after he drove me to the old town. Nono Was happy to run at whatever pace I wanted and sensing I wanted to push it a little he did so but took plenty of breaks to take pictures and to tell me interesting anecdotes about the area I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough

We got to run with Petre, who was awesome! He met us at our Airbnb and took us all around Lisbon. By the end of the run, we had worked our way through multiple neighborhoods and seen most of the best sites in the city. Also, because we went in the morning, the streets were empty and it was very easy to get around. He ran at our pace (we are not fast) and shared a lot of history with us throughout the entire run. This is one of the best ways to first experience Lisbon.

My running tour of Lisbon with Nuno was nothing short of spectacular! Despite the challenging hills, we covered over 7.2 miles, and the views were absolutely worth the effort. Nuno was an excellent guide, providing insights into Lisbon’s history and culture while ensuring we had a fun and safe route. This tour was a fantastic way to see the city and get some exercise. Perfect for anyone who loves to lace up their running shoes and explore!

An excellent way to start the holiday and see the city when it’s not heaving. Having forgotten my running shorts (!!), we met Pedro at 0730 on the dot to begin the run (me in my jeans!!). We did a great course with loads of interesting facts around the city as we went. The hills were a bit daunting at times but Pedro made sure to run at a comfortable pace throughout. We did the 10K in just over an hour and a half and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone visiting Lisbon

Pedro was informative, friendly & extremely polite and lovely company. Thanks for showing us your beautiful city recommend this type of run to see the city before the crowds

Exactly what I was looking for, Pedro was great and knowledgeable. Fun run with stops along the way for great views and history lessons of Lisbon/Portugal.

The tour was great. We learned so much and our tour guide, Pedro, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we kept to the right pace for us all - but encouraged us up the hills! A great way to find out more about the city. Thanks Pedro!

We really enjoyed this run. It's was total of 2hrs with about 1.15hrs of easy running. Great way to orientate, see the main sights and get some exercise. Pace was perfect and led by us. Lots of hills but plenty of time to stop and catch breathe and see views. Pedro our guide was on time picking us up and sent us photos after. 5 star treatment. Highly recommend

Very enjoyable way to be introduced to a new city. Nuno was our guide - a thoroughly hospitable and entertaining companion on a 10k run. Paced perfectly to allow conversation, observation and some great site seeing. Very strongly recommended.

It was such a fun experience running the other Pedro around some famous landmarks in Lisbon. I enjoyed his running stories and his facts about the city. If you’re into exploring a city on your morning city, this tour is perfect to compress a lot in a very fun and healthy way. Also, doing this on your first morning helped me map out the city for the rest of the trip.

This was such a great start to the morning! Having only visited the city once. Pedro was friendly and kept at comfortable pace. Great conversations, viewing the charming corners of the city. Would recommend.

Nuno picked me up from my hotel in West Lisbon and we ran along the river, through the city centre & back. Lots of lovely chatting about the city and running and life. This is a great way to see the city and experience running on holiday. Definitely recommend! Five stars!!

Running with Lisbon City Runners was a great way to see the city. The guide picked me up from the hotel and gave me an insightful tour of the city - as well as pointed out some of the best spots to take photos. It was a great way to start my day and I recommend it for anyone looking to get a run in while in Lisbon.

The best way to explore the city if you are fit! I really enjoyed this. One my best tours ever! My guide picked me up at my apartment at 7am and we went straight into the run. You basically have the whole city by yourself along with your own personal guide! I learned so much and saw so much of the city. It helped me created a mental map of the city which has helped me.out a lot. The run itself is challenging but to me this was an extra bonus. Totally worth it! Thank you!

Great guide! Knowledge and funny! Great pace! He accommodated my time frame and my pace. Interesting to talk to about Lisbon.

This was my first time doing a running tour and it was so much fun! Pedro was really considerate of our pace and we stopped often to see all the sights. By the end I was able to grasp all of the major neighborhoods in the city and pick out which areas we wanted to go back to later. Couldn’t recommend enough if you’re a runner

The running guide, Nuno, met me at the hotel. He was very friendly. A morning running tour is a wonderful way to see the city at a peaceful, quiet time of day without the crowds. It’s a great way for me to get my bearings. We covered all the main areas. Nuno was patient when I wanted to take pictures or walk up hills, since Lisbon is very hilly. He took great pictures and shared them with me afterwards. He also brought a bottle of water. He shared it wresting facts and history about the city. It was a fun tour!

Thanks Pedro for the perfect introduction to the historical part of Lisbon, sunrise from the terrace, and super morning run. 100% recommended.

Nuno was a great tour guide, I enjoyed the run so much ! If you like to run, I would recommend highly this tour, it is a great way to see the city while doing what you like😊

I was excited to get to do this run after all the reviews and I wasn’t wrong absolutely superb way of seeing the city! Your running guide is full of interest facts about this great city! And combines it with info on running! All at your pace! I saw more on this tour than I could ever imagine and I will not hesitate to be booking another run or 2 in when I return too the city

I did the city centre run and the castle run. Nuno was a great guide and both running routes were a perfect way to see the city early in the morning. Best part of my trip!

A really enjoyable and exhilarating experience, running through Lisbon with a super friendly guide. I booked the Gardens Run, and Nuno took me through so many parks and gardens, pointing out and explaining all sorts of interesting things, and stopping off to take pictures whenever I wanted. Worth every cent. I felt more connected to the city and its history than at any other time during my stay in Lisbon. There are plenty of reasons why I would like to return to Lisbon, and one of them is so that I can do the Trail Run. Thanks, Nuno!

Wow - what a way to see a city! Nuno was an incredible guide and a lovely person. I did it on my first morning in Lisbon and it was perfect for seeing the city before others are awake. Learned lots about the city and it’s history - I will now always look for running tours when I visit places

Nuno was a fantastic guide around this fabulous city, giving me some great pointers for new places to check out as we ran around. Lots of nice photos taken. It was also a great workout as Lisbon is very hilly. Don’t let that put you off if you are feeling unfit. Your run will be moderated to your condition! I am now thinking of doing the same in Porto, as it really is a great way to orient yourself in a new place.

This was a wonderful running tour. I am sitting in my hotel room half an hour after getting back from this run. Nuno was very well educated on the history of Lisbon – not just his prepared remarks but also with any random questions I asked him. He was more than happy to adjust the piece of the run to suit my comfort level. I would recommend doing this on the first morning of a stay in Lisbon as it gives you a good history of the city and helps you get your bearings. I highly recommend this to her.

If you have no issues with running 10km in two hours then I can warmly recommend this fun way of exploring the city center of Lisbon. It was really nice to start early in the morning as we still could fill the whole rest of the day with other activities as well. The guide has good English and shared information about both current and historical events.

This is quite simply one of the best things I have done when travelling! I had a solo run with Pedro early on Friday morning, covering about 7 miles. Pedro was great company - knowledgable about Lisbon's history and it's attractions, and kept it light and fun. We stopped for a few photo opportunities, and by the end of the run I had in mind a few places to visit during my stay (especially the Fado bars in Alfama, the Brasilia coffee shop and "the best custard tarts" at the Time Out market. A great way to get the sightseeing done, get familiar with the city and get a decent run in, all before breakfast! Obrigado, Pedro! John

This was a great run tour with Pedro V. Sunday morning run, with fewer pedestrians made for a great time to do some sight running. Pedro is an awesome guide, he also ran at my slow pace, was knowledgeable of Lisbon history, and it's neighborhoods and sites. We stopped at a few view points to take in the vistas of beautiful Lisbon! Great way to orient yourself to the city and of course, get in your exercise or training run for the weekend. The hills are certainly a challenge but if you need to walk up a few, Pedro will of course adjust to your ability. So grateful to Pedro for all the running tips and suggestions, I'll be making adjustments for me next half marathon (mind you, I've run over 60 so far and still learned a few things from this awesome run coach). Runners, don't miss out on this great tour!

I'm really happy I did this and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city! Brilliant way to start the day and get your long run in! My Knowledgeable, easygoing guide made it a really enjoyable experience. Thanks!!!

Combining sightseeing and running was a stroke of genius. Pedro picked me up outside my hotel and led me on a great run where we covered 5 miles and I barely even noticed the distance. The perfect mix of hanging out with a fellow runner and discovering a new city, not only did I get a workout I really needed, but Pedro gave interesting insights into where the gold was buried, how different neighborhoods found different fates, and which statue was something different from what it seemed. He was attentive in keeping a comfortable pace, great at answering questions and helpful at pointing out unique photo opportunities. Can't wait to try one of his other outings on my next visit.

Nanu was a great guide. He was full of local knowledge and and very interesting. We ran an 8+ mile circuit from the door of our hotel and visited and learned about the history and culture of Lisbon. I will 100% be looking for similar tours any city I visit.

Exceptional experience. I have recently returned for a weekend trip in Lisbon. I happened upon this tour company while doing my research for this trip from start to finish it was very well organised. Carlos was my tour guide he was extremely knowledgeable and Readily and answered my questions. I would highly recommend this tour to any reasonable fit person who would like to experience Lisbon from a unique perspective. Highly recommended.

NUNO is number one in my book. He was flexible on start time and agreed to run at my pace. The streets are hilly ... challenging but do-able. It was beautiful to see the sunrise over the river and learn about all the history of this incredible city of Lisbon. He offered water and happily gave breaks for photos. This was a highlight of my trip. Also, I booked this at the last minute (clicked book at 23:00 on a Satuday night and Pedro the owner got right back to me and said ok for a 6:45 start time on Sunday morning.) AMAZING!

We ran with Nuno who knew the city perfectly and had some amazing stories and facts for us. We ran at our pace and although the city is very hilly we were so well looked after by Nuno that the run seemed easy. We went to all the best places and the facts and destinations we took in lasted for the rest of the holiday. Thankyou so much Nuno a fantastic start to our holiday.

This is one of my favorite things I have done in Portugal. Wake up before the city awakes and run through the city, learning about history along the way. Great views, great route, great company!

I was guided by Pedro who is an excellent and adaptable athlete. The hills of Lisbon are challenging and the tour was worthwhile. I would recommend highly to any runner.

This is my first experience with a city runner anywhere, an it was outstanding! I got the city-run with Ricardo and the garden-run with Nuno, and they both gave me a good exercise, a good city-guidence and made my first trip to Lisboa unique! I will highly recommend Lisbon City-Runners to you all :)

Really enjoyed this tour. It’s a great way to explore the city before the crowds descend. Pedro was a fantastic guide who had great knowledge of the city’s history and landmarks as well as sharing many other useful hints and suggestions. Even though the city has many steep hills, the pace of the run is quite gentle so it felt relaxed for the duration. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone that is visiting Lisbon to do this tour, you won’t regret it. Thanks Pedro!

Pedro is an excellent guide. He shared several informative and entertaining stories about the city and its various landmarks that one might not otherwise learn. He's also very patient about letting the guest set the pace, which was much appreciated on the sometimes hilly terrain. I recommend this wholeheartedly!

Great way to get orientated to the city. Pedro provided great insight into the city of Lisbon on an interesting route through many different areas of the city.

Running tours are our favorite way to get acquainted to each city we visit and discover places we want to come back to later. The City Centre tour my husband and I did with Nuno is one of the best we have done. We started at 7:30 AM, which allowed us to experience the city before it got too crowded or hot. It was a very enjoyable run at an easy pace though the hills proved formidable for casual runners like us. Nuno’s tour provided us with several breaks for photos and Nuno shared information about Lisbon’s history, gave restaurant tips and answered questions along the way. Nuno let us dictate the pace and we even took a walking break on one of the tougher hills. In all, we covered about 8 miles/13 kilometers in about an hour and 50 minutes. We ran through Baixa, Chiado, Alfama, Principe Real, Barrio Alto, Avenida de Liberdade and along the waterfront. We highly recommend getting to know the city with Lisbon City Runners!

Did the City Run with my teenage daughter. Quite a memorable experience to run the streets of Lisbon while learning about its rich history and culture. Our guide was Nuno. He was the perfect host. Very conscientious of the pace to make sure we got a nice run while still able to enjoy the sights. I would highly recommend Lisbon City Runners. Website is accurate. Reservation was easy to arrange. As many of the other reviews stated this was a great way to see Lisbon before the tourists hit the streets. Thank you LCR!!!

Met Pedro at 8am for a 9.5 mile run around the city. Such a great way to see the city before the crowds arrive and Pedro passed on his local knowledge about the city too. Pedro was knowledgable about the city and was a great running partner as he is local and takes you to the little-known areas of the city. Stopped to pose for pictures too! Ran through the old streets of Alfama, saw the beautiful Rossio Square, did a few miles along the coast to the bridge followed by a hilly section through the city centre. If your looking to combine sightseeing with a run then this is the perfect choice! Wouldn’t hesitate to book if visiting Lisbon again. Thanks Pedro!

A fabulous way to meet a local runner and discover Lisboa. Pedro was friendly and fulfilled my running wish list in Lisbon. I ran some hills, ran in Alfama, saw gorgeous miradouros and Iearned so much. It's a perfect concept! I highly recommend it. Thank you Lisbon City runners and Pedro!
