About us

We are a small Lisbon based team who knows the city inside out. After years of wandering its neighbourhoods, cafés, workshops and backstreets, we decided to share the places we genuinely love. Independent restaurants, small shops, creative studios and local hangouts that reflect the real rhythm of the city. We founded our non profit organisation, The Circular Shift, and launched the Circular Pass to make these places easier to discover. The response from travellers encouraged us to keep refining the selection, improving the experience, and building stronger connections with local businesses. Through the Circular Pass, we invite people to explore Lisbon differently. Away from international chains, closer to local craftsmanship and culture, while ensuring that part of the value created goes to initiatives that help preserve the spirit of the city.

Impact

We created The Circular Shift to make travel more meaningful, helping visitors discover responsible local businesses while contributing to the projects that protect Lisbon and support the people who live here. As a non profit, all benefits generated through the Circular Pass are reinvested into local social and environmental initiatives. Each purchase helps strengthen the local economy and supports concrete projects, from ecosystem protection to community support services. By using the Circular Pass, you take part in this impact. Discover the initiatives we support and choose the project you’d like your purchase to contribute to.
