One memorable way to explore
the city is aboard an open-topped UMM (a Portuguese 4WD once made for the army). In
addition to the King of the Hills tour, this alternative outfit organises evening meals fol-
lowed by a night tour around Lisbon, plus beach trips, longer city tours and excursions to
Sintra. Most trips depart from Praça Luís de Camões, near the Chiado.
