  • Moorish Quarter - Mouraria is one of Lisbon’s most traditional neighborhoods. It is the heart of fado, where Severa, the first known fado singer, lived and performed.
  • Praca Martim Moniz - Martim Moniz Square honors the nobleman who, in 1147, helped D. Afonso Henriques (the first king of Portugal) conquer the castle.
  • Praca da Figueira - Located in Baixa Pombalina, it is one of the three most important squares in the center of Lisbon.
  • Rossio Square - Praça de D. Pedro IV, commonly known as Rossio, is one of the oldest, most beautiful, and liveliest squares in Lisbon. This is the final stop on our tour.
  • Elevador de Santa Justa - Take a ride on one of Lisbon’s most iconic lifts. Its unique structure and the amazing view from the top make it one of the city’s busiest tourist attractions.
  • Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - Praça do Comércio is the most famous square in the country, offering several points of interest and an unmistakable noble grandeur. Known to locals as Terreiro do Paço, it was the Paço da Ribeira area until the 1755 earthquake and is one of the largest squares in Europe.
  • Chiado - Chiado is one of Lisbon’s most famous areas, located next to the equally renowned Bairro Alto. Situated on a hill, its streets feature many ups and downs.
  • Bairro Alto - Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s top nightlife spots, but it also offers many interesting attractions to explore during the day in this historic and traditional neighborhood.
  • Igreja de Sao Roque - The Igreja de São Roque is a Roman Catholic church in Lisbon, Portugal. It was the first Jesuit church in the Portuguese world and one of the earliest Jesuit churches anywhere. The building served as the Society’s home church in Portugal for over 200 years before the Jesuits were expelled. After the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the church and its residence were given to the Lisbon Holy House of Mercy to replace their destroyed church and headquarters. It remains part of the Holy House of Mercy today, as one of its many heritage buildings.

The Igreja de São Roque was one of the few buildings in Lisbon to survive the earthquake relatively unscathed. Built in the 16th century, it was the first Jesuit church designed in the “auditorium-church” style specifically for preaching. It contains several chapels, most in the Baroque style of the early 17th century.

  • Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara - Easily accessible from the Baixa metro stop and the Glória Funicular, the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara is one of the city’s most visited lookouts. The splendid terraced gardens with statues and a fountain add to its popularity. From here, visitors can enjoy views of the São Jorge Castle, the Tagus River, and the city center. Due to its ideal location and spacious size, the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara hosts several outdoor markets throughout the year, including a Christmas market, and art vendors also set up shop here.
  • Praca do Principe Real - Príncipe Real Garden is a romantic garden near Bairro Alto. The weekly organic market held on Saturdays is one of the many events that take place here.
  • Palace of Saint Benedict / Assembly of the Republic - The São Bento Palace, which houses the republic’s parliament, was built in the 16th century and originally served as a Benedictine monastery.
  • Basilica da Estrela - One of the most impressive and attractive churches in Lisbon. Take some time to admire this stunning piece of architecture and explore the surrounding area.
  • Palácio Nacional de Belém - The Belém Palace is the official residence of the president of the Portuguese Republic, the head of state of Portugal.
  • Pastéis de Belém - The famous pastel de Belém, also known as pastel de nata, is one of Portugal’s signature treats. Once you try this delightful sweet, you’re likely to become addicted by the end of your trip. Pastel de Belém or custard tarts are one of Lisbon’s great gastronomic attractions.
  • Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - To honor Henry and acknowledge his devotion to Our Lady and St. Jerome, Manuel I established the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém just outside Lisbon on the banks of the River Tagus. The monastery was given to the Order of St. Jerome, hence the name Jerónimos (or Hieronymite) Monastery.

The Monastery is a cultural landmark that has attracted artists, chroniclers, and travelers over its five centuries of existence. It served as a burial place for kings and later poets. Today, it is admired not only as a remarkable piece of architecture but also as an integral part of Portuguese culture and identity.

  • Belém Tower - Built on the northern bank of the Tagus between 1514 and 1520 as part of the Tagus estuary defense system, the Tower of Belém is one of the architectural jewels of Manuel I’s reign.

The tower features two distinct architectural styles: the medieval keep tower and the modern bulwark, which housed two artillery levels for long-distance cannon firing and ricochet shots over the water.

The Belém Tower is a cultural icon, symbolizing Portugal’s unique exchange with other cultures and civilizations. Its role as a protector of Portuguese individuality and universality was confirmed in 1983 when UNESCO classified it as “Cultural Heritage of Humanity.”

  • Monument to the Discoveries - In 1960, to commemorate the fifth centennial of Henry the Navigator’s death, the Praça do Império area was partially remodeled, adding thirty coats of arms representing the cities and provinces of mainland Portugal, the Portuguese islands, and the overseas territories, along with the Cross of Christ and the Cross of Avis in mosaics around the fountain.

The Monument to the Discoveries was also rebuilt in reinforced concrete clad in Rosal limestone from Leiria. The new monument was inaugurated on August 9, 1960. In 1985, the monument underwent further renovations, allowing public access to the viewing balcony, auditorium, and two exhibition rooms.

The Go-To Tuk Tuk Tour in Lisbon - My family and I (4 persons) did a 3-hour Tuk Tuk tour in Lisbon with En Route's guide João on 9th July 2019. We had originally booked 2 hours but ended up doing 3. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw various parts of Lisbon and made stops at locations of interest (e.g. the oldest church). When we got hungry he stopped at the famous Pasteles de Belem store. There was a huge line, but he got straight to the front and we had our treats within minutes! Overall the tour was great fun and very informative. Highly recommendable!
