Highlights
  • Rossio Square - Pedro IV Square, better known by its former name of Rossio, is a square located in the Baixa, the nerve center of Lisbon for several centuries. It was the site of trials, shows, festivals, military parades and autos de fe during the Inquisition. In Roman times there was a circus.
  • Baixa de Lisboa - Baixa is the historical and commercial center of Lisbon. The neoclassical style buildings, built after the 1755 earthquake, surround the Comercio and Rossio squares. Traditional seafood restaurants and souvenir stores abound in the busy pedestrian streets. The National Museum of Contemporary Art, located in the elegant Chiado district, traces Portuguese art from the mid-18th century to the present day. The Santa Justa Elevator offers spectacular views of the city.
  • Lisbon Cathedral - Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore of Lisbon or Sé de Lisboa is the metropolitan cathedral and patriarchal seat of the city of Lisbon in Portugal. Its construction began in 1148, a year after Alfonso Enriques conquered the city. It is considered the oldest church in Lisbon.
  • Miradouro das Portas do Sol - Spectacular viewpoint with panoramic views of the traditional houses of Alfama, the red roofs and churches of the city.
  • Graça - Graça was a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Lisbon, district of Lisboa.
  • Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - The Senhora do Monte Viewpoint is one of the most important historical landmarks in Lisbon. It is one of the quietest viewpoints of the city, despite its exceptional panoramic view. Near the viewpoint of Graça, its stage shape is a privileged platform to observe the capital. To the left is the church of Graça, the houses of the Castle and the majestic castle of St. George, guardian of the city. In the background the sea and the Tagus estuary illuminate the rooftops of Baixa, the ruins of Carmo, the green of Monsanto and the pastel colors of Avenidas Novas. All this in the place where the first King of Portugal set up camp for the conquest of Lisbon. Nine centuries later it is the Senhora do Monte, with its Hermitage, founded in 1147, that will conquer you.
  • Mosteiro de Sao Vicente de Fora - The church or monastery of San Vicente de Fora is a church in Lisbon dedicated to St. Vincent, proclaimed patron saint of the city in 1173, when his relics were transferred from the Algarve to a church outside the city walls.

Designed by the Italian architect Filippo Terzi and the Spaniard Juan de Herrera and completed in 1627, the church presents a monumental, sober and symmetrical facade, with towers on each side and the statues of Saints Augustine, Sebastian and Vincent above the entrance. Inside, the baroque baldachin by Machado de Castro stands out above the altar, flanked by life-size wooden statues.

  • National Pantheon - The National Pantheon of Portugal (Panteão Nacional, in Portuguese) is located in the parish of São Vicente de Fora, in Lisbon, specifically in the Church of Santa Engracia (Igreja de Santa Engrácia). The present building is on the site where a church had already been erected in 1568, by order of Infanta D. Maria, daughter of King D. Manuel I, on the occasion of the creation of the parish of Santa Engrácia.
  • Fado Museum - The Fado Museum was inaugurated on September 25, 1998 and is a museum dedicated to the world of Fado and the Portuguese guitar. The museum is located in the Alfama district of the city of Lisbon, Portugal. The museum building was once the water pumping station of the Praia district.
  • Alfama - Alfama is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon. Its steep streets are lined with cafes and stores selling traditional handicrafts. The historic streetcar No. 28, brimming with passengers, winds its way through Alfama to the 11th-century castle of São Jorge. The terrace of the Gracia belvedere offers views across the city to the Tagus. In the evenings, melancholy fados can be heard in some of the area’s well-established restaurants.
  • Praça do Comércio - Praça do Comércio is one of the most important squares in Lisbon. With a great view of the Tagus estuary, it is the nerve center of the city. It was the site of the Royal Palace of Lisbon for more than 200 years.
  • Time Out Market Lisboa - The Mercado da Ribeira, in Cais do Sodré, is currently one of the best places to eat in Lisbon while enjoying a good atmosphere within the walls of a historic building that for decades was the center of the city’s commercial life.
  • Chiado - The Chiado neighborhood, Lisbon’s commercial and theatrical core, is home to Rua Garrett Avenue, with upscale boutiques and restaurants, and the 18th-century Bertrand Bookstore. Residents often gather by the statues of Portuguese literary greats in the lively Praça Luís de Camões. Nearby are the Church of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação and the Church of Nossa Senhora de Loreto, with ornate marble interiors, and the 18th-century Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, which features Rococo-style décor.
  • Largo do Carmo - Largo do Carmo is a square located in Lisbon.

Nestled in the Chiado area is Largo do Carmo, with its jacaranda trees. The ruins of the Carmo Convent, built in the 14th century, still stand in this square, where the Carmo Archaeological Museum is currently located.

Opposite the convent is the Carmo Fountain (1771), supplied by the Águas Livres Aqueduct through the Loreto Gallery.

  • Bairro Alto - Bohemian Bairro Alto has steep cobblestone streets that tourists pass through to take the Elevador da Bica, visit the ornate São Roque church and take in views of the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. Many of the neighborhood’s centuries-old houses are decorated with cheerful street art. After sunset, crowds of all kinds fill the quirky, trendy bars, and the evocative sound of fado wafts from traditional restaurants.
  • Principe Real - Príncipe Real is an exclusive area known for its 19th century mansions, gay bars and fashionable stores. The Moorish-style Embaixada palace is an important shopping destination where you can find local designer fashions and concept stores. This neighborhood also has many small art galleries and antique stores. There are some quiet places like the Royal Prince’s garden, with benches shaded by a huge cedar tree that looks like an umbrella.
  • Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara - The Garden of São Pedro de Alcântara is a garden located in Lisbon, in the parish of Misericórdia. It was built in 1864, on two terraces and has an area of 0.6 ha. It is located on Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara, near the Bairro Alto.
  • Estrela - This is the elegant neighborhood of Estrela in Lisbon, which along with its neighbors Lapa and Alcantara is home to such peculiar places as the English Cemetery of Lisbon or the magnificent Basilica da Estrela, the Museum of the Orient and a gourmet market as charming as the Campo de Ourique Market.
