• Lisbon - A warm welcome to guests. Departure from the hotel, private accommodation, or the designated meeting point.

• Torre de Belem - The Torre de Belém, originally known as Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification situated in Belém on the right bank of the Tagus River, where Belém beach once existed. Initially surrounded by water, it is now part of the mainland. As one of the city’s landmarks, this monument is an architectural symbol of King D. Manuel I’s reign. Over time, the tower’s role in defending the Tagus River diminished, and during the Philippine occupation, the old warehouses were converted into dungeons. The tower’s four floors include the Governor’s Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room, and the Chapel with its distinctive 16th-century vaults. The Tower of São Vicente (1514) was part of a defense system for the Tagus basin, commissioned by João II of Portugal, which also included the São Sebastião da Caparica tower (1481) to the south and the Santo António de Cascais tower (1488) to the west.

• Padrao dos Descobrimentos - Designed by architect Cottinelli Telmo and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida, this monument stands over 50 meters high along the Tagus River. Initially constructed in 1940 for the Portuguese World Exhibition, it was rebuilt in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Infante D. Henrique’s death, a key figure in the Portuguese Discoveries. Shaped like a stylized caravel, it features Infante at the bow, followed by notable figures of the era, including navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonizers, evangelizers, chroniclers, and artists. The Compass Rose, designed by architect Luís Cristino Silva and gifted by the Republic of South Africa, was inaugurated on August 5, 1960, in the yard leading to the monument.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - In 1496, King D. Manuel requested permission from the Holy See to build a grand monastery at Lisbon’s entrance, near the Tagus River. Construction began in 1501 and was completed approximately a century later. The Jerónimos Monastery is often regarded as the “jewel” of the Manueline style, a uniquely Portuguese architectural style that combines late Gothic and Renaissance elements with Christological and naturalistic royal symbolism. D. Manuel chose the monks of the Order of S. Jerónimo to occupy the monastery, tasked with praying for the king’s soul and providing spiritual support to sailors and navigators departing from Restelo beach. Today, it is admired not only as a remarkable piece of architecture but also as an integral part of cultural identity.

• Pastéis de Belém - Pastel de nata is a beloved Portuguese pastry, inspired by convents and created by monks at the Jerónimos Monastery. The original recipe, known as Pastel de Belém, is exclusively produced at the Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon. In 1837, near the Jerónimos Monastery, the clergy began selling custard tarts to make a living. At that time, Belém and Lisbon were separate locations accessible by steamboats. The presence of the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower attracted many tourists, helping to popularize the Belém pastries. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy a pastel de Belém with a coffee (espresso).

• 25 de Abril Bridge - The 25 de Abril Bridge is a road-rail suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River, connecting Lisbon (north bank) to Almada (south bank) in Portugal. It crosses the Tagus estuary at its narrowest point, known as the Tagus bottleneck. The bridge is 2,277 meters long, with a free span of 1,013 meters, making it the 33rd largest suspension bridge in the world. The upper deck accommodates six road lanes (three in each direction), while the lower deck contains two electrified railway lines running from Lisbon to Setúbal. Construction began in November 1962 and was completed in four years, with the bridge opening on August 6, 1966, initially with only a road deck. The railway deck was inaugurated on July 29, 1999. Originally named Ponte Salazar after the prime minister who commissioned it, the bridge was renamed April 25th to commemorate the 1974 revolution.

• Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei - The National Sanctuary of Christ the King, constructed in 1959, stands 133 meters above the Tagus River. Designed by architect António Lino, it features a 75-meter-high portico topped by a 28-meter-high statue of the Holy Redeemer with open arms facing Lisbon, created by Portuguese sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa. The pedestal, including the portico, reaches a height of 82 meters. The sanctuary and monument to Christ the King is Almada’s most popular tourist attraction, offering a panoramic view of Lisbon and the 25 de Abril Bridge. It is frequently featured in tourist reports about Lisbon and is one of Portugal’s tallest structures, standing 110 meters high.

• Castelo de S. Jorge - São Jorge Castle is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, located on the city’s highest hill. The earliest known fortification on the site dates back to the 7th century BC, with evidence of continuous human occupation by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, and Muslims. The castle itself was established in the 10th and 11th centuries when Lisbon was a significant Muslim port city. In 1147, Portugal’s first king, D. Afonso Henriques, captured the castle and city from the Moors. The castle’s most prominent period was between the 13th and 16th centuries. In the 16th century, King D. Manuel I welcomed Vasco da Gama to the castle after his voyage to India. Declared a National Monument in 1910, the castle underwent extensive restoration in the 20th century, resulting in its current appearance. It offers the best views of the city and the Tagus River.

• Miradouro de Santa Luzia - A stroll through the Alfama neighborhood will undoubtedly lead to the vibrant Miradouro de Santa Luzia. Adjacent to the garden and pergolas, artists and a lively crowd gather in the late afternoon. The location itself is charming, with flowers, colorful tiles, and seating areas. However, the view is what makes this viewpoint special. From here, one can admire the sea of red roofs in Alfama, extending to the banks of the Tagus near the new Cais de Cruzeiros. The Miradouro de Santa Luzia is close to another terrace with city views: the Miradouro das Portas do Sol. It is worth visiting both viewpoints on the same tour.

• Lisbon Cathedral - The Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Basilica of Santa Maria Maior, is the oldest church in Lisbon, constructed in the early 12th century after the city’s reconquest from the Moors by D. Afonso Henriques. It serves as the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon and the Parish of the Sé and has been a National Monument since 1910. Construction began around 1147, following the reconquest. The cathedral was built on the site of a former Muslim mosque, which archaeological excavations suggest was previously a Christian temple of the German Visigoths. The first architect was Master Roberto, a Frenchman who also worked on the Cathedral of Coimbra and the Monastery of Santa Cruz. During this time, D. Afonso Henriques ordered the relics of Saint Vincent of Zaragoza to be returned from the Algarve, where they are now housed in the Cathedral.

• Rossio Square - Rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, this beautiful Lisbon square marks the northern boundary of the Baixa Pombalina area. The square features a large quadrangle dominated by the harmonious neoclassicism of the D. Maria II Theater, built on the former site of the House of the Inquisition. Over time, Rossio became a popular gathering place for Lisbon’s bourgeoisie, bustling with hotels (now gone), shops, tobacconists, and cafes. Although most cafes have disappeared, Café Nicola (western side) and Pastelaria Suiça (eastern side) remain as reminders of a bygone era. In the center, a 28-meter-high column, erected in 1870, supports the statue of King D. Pedro IV, holding the Constitutional Charter in his right hand. In 1889, two monumental fountains were added, one on each side of the column, where friendly florists sell flowers.

• Rua Augusta - Rua Augusta is the main thoroughfare of downtown Lisbon, created after the 1755 earthquake reconstruction. Named in honor of Augusta, King D. José I’s figure, it connects Praça do Comércio and Praça D. Pedro IV (Praça do Rossio). Rua Augusta is Lisbon’s primary tourist street and a pedestrian-only area. It features numerous restaurants, hotels, and shops, including major international brands, and hosts various street performers. The beautiful Portuguese pavement covering Rua Augusta is another highlight. Stroll down this street towards Praça do Comercio.

• Arco do Triunfo - Although inaugurated in 1875, the Rua Augusta Arch was planned in 1759 to celebrate the Pombaline reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. Open to the public since August 9, 2013, this space offers an impressive view of downtown Lisbon and the Tagus River. The Rua Augusta Triumphal Arch has always captivated those walking along Lisbon’s busiest pedestrian street. It symbolizes Lisbon’s resilience after the 1755 earthquake. At the top, observe the magnificent sculptures by Célestin Anatole Calmels, where Glory crowns Genius and Valor. The remaining statues, designed by Victor Bastos, depict historical figures. On the left is the Marquês de Pombal, followed by Vasco da Gama, Viriato, and Nuno Álvares Pereira on the right. The 360º view from the top is truly inspiring, showcasing the best of Lisbon.

• Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - Praça do Comércio, still commonly known as Terreiro do Paço, is a square in downtown Lisbon by the Tagus River, where the Portuguese kings’ palace stood for two centuries. Today, it partially houses government departments. As one of Europe’s largest squares, measuring around 36,000 m², it is bordered by 79 arches. The square is a historical symbol of political power and capital in Portugal, often associated with state centralism. In 1511, King Manuel I moved his residence from Castelo de São Jorge to this riverside location. The Paço da Ribeira and its 70,000-volume library were destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. During reconstruction, led by Eugénio dos Santos, the square became a key element of the Marquês de Pombal’s plan. The famous Martinho da Arcada café, Lisbon’s oldest, is located here.

• Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara - The Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara is a must-visit for those exploring Lisbon. The panoramic view, stretching from Eduardo VII Park to the Tagus River, is not to be missed. Situated on the Amoreiras/Chiado axis, just below the Jardim do Príncipe Real, this rectangular space, with its two levels, offers more than just beautiful views. The oldest piece in the garden comes from the gardens of Palácio da Bemposta on Colina de Santana. In addition to the artistic elements, this is one of the best places to experience Lisbon’s unique light. While the morning light is more intense, the evening provides a stunning scene year-round.

• Jardim do Principe Real - Officially named Jardim França Borges, this garden is located near Bairro Alto in Lisbon. Built in the mid-19th century, it features a Buçaco Cedar (Cupressus lusitanica) with a diameter of over 20 meters, classified as a public interest tree. The garden also houses the underground water reservoir of the Patriarchal. A weekly organic farming market is held here on Saturdays, among other events.

• Praca dos Restauradores - Praça dos Restauradores is situated in downtown Lisbon, at the southern end of Avenida da Liberdade, near Praça de Dom Pedro IV (Rossio). The square is distinguished by a 30-meter-high obelisk, the Monument to the Restauradores, inaugurated on April 28, 1886, commemorating the country’s liberation from Spanish rule on December 1, 1640. The square’s central sign features Portuguese cobblestone pavement.

• Parque Eduardo VII - Parque Eduardo VII de Virgínia, formerly Parque da Liberdade, is the largest park in central Lisbon, locally known as Parque Eduardo VII. Located in São Sebastião da Pedreira, it was named in 1903 in honor of Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who visited Lisbon the previous year to reaffirm the alliance between the two countries. Built in the first half of the 20th century, the park was intended to provide Lisbon with a public space similar to the Passeio Público, which was destroyed during the opening of Avenida da Liberdade in 1882. The park’s current design was created by architect Francisco Keil do Amaral in 1942.

• Marquês de Pombal - Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, Marquês de Pombal and Count of Oeiras, served as Prime Minister under D. José I from 1750 to 1777 and was instrumental in Lisbon’s reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. A monument of grand proportions, built in his honor through public subscription, features the marquis with a lion in bronze, seated on a pedestal approximately 40 meters high, made of worked stone. The upper part of the pedestal bears four medallions representing Pombal’s main collaborators, including Manuel da Maia, Eugénio dos Santos, and Machado de Castro, while the lower part is surrounded by allegorical figures, including a female figure symbolizing rebuilt Lisbon and three sculptural groups representing Pombal’s reforms in agriculture, industry, and education. The monument was inaugurated on May 13, 1934.
