• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - The Jeronimos Monastery, also known as the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belem, is a 16th-century Portuguese monastery of the Order of St. Jerome. Situated in the Belém parish of Lisbon, it has been recognized as a National Pantheon since 2016.

A pinnacle of Manueline architecture, this monastery is the most significant Portuguese monastic complex of its era and one of Europe’s foremost parlor churches. Initiated by King D. Manuel I in the early 1500s, its construction spanned a century, overseen by a distinguished group of architects, notably João de Castilho.

Designated a National Monument in 1907 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, alongside the Belém Tower, the Jeronimos Monastery was named one of Portugal’s seven wonders on July 7, 2007. Deeply connected to the Portuguese Royal House and the Age of Discoveries, it has long been regarded as a national symbol.

Today, it stands as one of Portugal’s top tourist destinations, attracting 807,854 visitors in 2014, 944,000 in 2015, and 1,166,793 in 2017.

• Torre de Belem - Belém Tower, officially known as Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification in the Belém parish of Lisbon, Portugal. Originally surrounded by water on all sides, it now stands on the mainland due to the gradual incorporation of the beach over centuries. This monument, a blend of medieval keep and modern bastion, is a hallmark of King Manuel I’s reign.

The tower, which lost its defensive role over time, served as dungeons during the Philippine occupation. Its four floors include the Governor’s Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room, and a Chapel with distinctive 16th-century vaults. Part of a defense system for the Tagus basin, it was built in 1514 by John II of Portugal, alongside the towers of São Sebastião da Caparica and Santo António de Cascais.

Notable for its nationalistic elements, the tower is adorned with Portuguese Coat of Arms and Order of Christ crosses. These features reflect the architecture of an era when Portugal was a global power.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 and one of Portugal’s seven wonders since July 7, 2007, the tower welcomed 608,000 tourists in 2015.

• Padrao dos Descobrimentos - The Discoveries Monument, also known as the Monument to the Navigators, is located in the Belém parish of Lisbon. Designed by Cottinelli Telmo with sculptures by Leopoldo de Almeida, it occupies a prominent position on the Tagus River’s right bank.

The original monument, made of perishable materials, was erected in 1940 for the Portuguese World Exposition to honor figures from the Age of Discoveries. The current concrete and stone replica was inaugurated in 1960.

• Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - The Senhora do Monte Viewpoint is situated in the São Vicente (Graça) parish of Lisbon.

Located in front of the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte, it offers views of the Palha Sea, São Jorge Castle, parts of Baixa de Lisboa, the Tagus River estuary, Bairro Alto, Monsanto Forest Park, and the valley of Avenida Almirante Reis.

• Miradouro das Portas do Sol - Largo das Portas do Sol is a street in Lisbon’s historic Alfama district, part of the Santa Maria Maior parish. Named after the ancient Sun Gate, which was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, this viewpoint offers views of the Church of São Vicente de Fora and the Alfama neighborhood extending to the Tagus River.

The Portas do Sol Viewpoint is a balcony-like space providing a magnificent view of Lisbon’s eastern area and the Tagus River.

• Rossio Square - Praça de D. Pedro IV, commonly known as Rossio, is a central square in Lisbon’s Baixa district. It has been a key hub of the city since Roman times when it housed a hippodrome.
• Praca dos Restauradores - Restauradores Square is located in downtown Lisbon, at the southern end of Avenida da Liberdade, near Dom Pedro IV Square (Rossio).

The square features a 30-meter high obelisk, the Monument to the Restorers, inaugurated on April 28, 1886, to commemorate Portugal’s liberation from Spanish rule on December 1, 1640. The central pavement is made of Portuguese cobblestone.

• Avenida da Liberdade - Avenida da Liberdade is a major avenue in Lisbon, connecting Restauradores Square with Marquês de Pombal Square. It spans 90 meters in width and 1100 meters in length, featuring multiple lanes and wide sidewalks adorned with gardens and Portuguese pavement.

Originating from the 1764 boulevard Passeio Público, the avenue underwent significant changes in the 1830s and 1840s. Constructed between 1879 and 1886, it marked the city’s northward expansion and became a prestigious residential area for the wealthy.

While many original buildings have been replaced by offices and hotels, the avenue still boasts notable late 19th and early 20th-century architecture. It also features statues of writers and a Monument to the Dead of the Great War, inaugurated in 1931. The avenue is a tourist landmark known for its scenic qualities, shops, hotels, theaters, and historic buildings, and is the 35th most expensive avenue globally.

Avenida da Liberdade hosts traditional parades during the Santo António de Lisboa festivities on June 12-13, where Lisbon’s neighborhoods compete for the best parade.

• Parque Eduardo VII - Parque Eduardo VII, the largest park in central Lisbon, is located in São Sebastião da Pedreira, now part of Avenidas Novas. Named in 1903 after King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who visited Lisbon in 1902, it was previously known as Freedom Park.

Spanning twenty-five hectares, the park features a large Portuguese flag at its highest point, symbolizing national pride. The park’s current layout, designed by architect Francisco Keil do Amaral in 1942, includes a central grassy strip flanked by Portuguese cobblestone paths, dividing it into two wooded areas.

The northwest corner houses the Cold Greenhouse, with exotic plants, streams, waterfalls, and trails, and the Hot Greenhouse, with lush plants, lakes, cacti, and tropical birds. Nearby is a large koi pond and a playground shaped like a galleon. The east side features the Carlos Lopes Pavilion, used in the 1922 Rio de Janeiro International Exhibition and renamed after the 1984 Olympic Marathon winner.

At the park’s northern end is a monumental viewpoint with the April 25 Monument, flanked by obelisks from the original park project. The monument, inaugurated in 1997, features a red carnation and honors the Portuguese Revolution of April 25, 1974. The adjacent Jardim Amália Rodrigues pays tribute to the fado singer.

The Lisbon Book Fair is held annually on the park’s two main paths.
