Lisbon, on foot — with the story in your ears.
Lisbon is a city of hills, tiles, and wrong turns that end at a view. The map flattens all of it; the magic is in the climb — the miradouro you didn't know was there, the tiny shop selling tinned fish like jewellery, the sound of fado leaking out of an Alfama doorway. You can't schedule that. You can walk into it.
Placeful is built for exactly that. You save the spots that catch your eye — from Instagram, TikTok, anywhere — and it threads them into a walk that makes sense on these hills, with a short story playing as you reach each one: what you're looking at, why it matters, the detail you'd have walked straight past. No group, no umbrella to follow, no nine a.m. start.
City stories are on the way. For now, you can listen to a couple of free samples to hear what Placeful reads you on a walk.

Coming soon — the oldest streets in Lisbon, why they survived 1755, and where fado was born.
Coming soonA wooden tram up the impossible hills
Coming soon — the 1930s tram that climbs streets cars can't, and why it became the city's accidental mascot.
