- Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - Facing the Tagus River to the south, this plaza is still often referred to as Terreiro do Paço in Portuguese, as it was the site of the Royal Palace of Ribeira until it was destroyed by the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Following the earthquake, the plaza was completely redesigned as part of the reconstruction of the Pombaline Downtown (Baixa), commissioned by the Marquis of Pombal, who served as Portugal’s Minister from 1750 to 1777, during the reign of King D. José I.
- Almada - Enjoy the scenic views of Almada on the southern bank of the river, featuring the Cacilhas Lighthouse and the historic docks and shipyards.
- Farol de Cacilhas - This lighthouse began operation on December 31, 1885, to mark the southern boundary of the anchorage area on the River Tagus, where fog is frequent. It emitted a fixed white light powered by oil over 342 degrees, with a fifth-order lens providing a nominal range of 11.5 nautical miles. In May 1886, a clockwork-controlled bell was added. In 1905, a device was installed to obscure the light for five seconds every minute to differentiate it from the fixed lights of vessels on the river. Like other Portuguese lighthouses, the Cacilhas Lighthouse was deactivated from March 1916 to the end of 1918 during World War I. In 1927, it began using acetylene gas for lighting, a fourth-order lens was installed, and blue panels were added to give it a green light, in accordance with international port light regulations.
- Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei - The Sanctuary of Christ the King (Portuguese: Santuário de Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, overlooking Lisbon from Almada, Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on May 17, 1959. The towering statue was erected to express gratitude for Portugal being spared the direct destructive effects of World War II.
- 25 de Abril Bridge - From its opening on August 6, 1966, until 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar), after Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, who commissioned its construction. Following the Carnation Revolution, which ended Salazar’s regime, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. It is also commonly referred to as the Tagus River Bridge (in Portuguese: Ponte sobre o Tejo = “bridge over the Tagus”).
- Belem Lighthouse - This structure is a faux lighthouse that never functioned. It was constructed for the Portuguese World Exhibition in 1940 as part of the stories of the discoveries, serving only as a tourist attraction located between the Tower of Belém and the Monument to the Discoveries. The structure includes all typical lighthouse features, such as a tower, balcony, lantern, and dome, except for the lighting system.
- Torre de Belem - Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent, is a 16th-century fortification in Lisbon that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was constructed during the peak of the Portuguese Renaissance and is a notable example of the Portuguese Manueline style, while also incorporating elements of other architectural styles.
- Padrao dos Descobrimentos - Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument of the Discoveries) is a monument located along the river where ships set sail to explore and trade with India and the Orient. The monument celebrates the Portuguese Age of Discovery (or “Age of Exploration”) during the 15th and 16th centuries.
- MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology - Opened in October 2016 as part of the EDP Foundation’s enduring commitment to cultural patronage, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (maat) is an international institution dedicated to promoting critical discourse and creative practice that inspire new understandings of the historical present and foster an empowering engagement with the common future. Situated on the riverfront of the historic district of Belém in Lisbon, the EDP Foundation campus spans 38,000 square meters and includes a repurposed power station — the Central Tejo, an iconic example of industrial architecture originally built in 1908 — and a newly constructed complex designed by the London-based architecture studio AL_A (Amanda Levete Architects). Both buildings host exhibitions and events organized by the museum and are connected by a landscape project by Lebanese architect Vladimir Djurovic.
