• Rua Augusta - Initially intended as a simple belltower in the reconstruction plans, this intricately-carved structure evolved into something far more magnificent. Naturally, this meant it took nearly a century to complete! The detailed statues at the top are truly captivating:

Purchase once, enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended stays and return visits over the next 12 months.

• Arco do Castelo - Planning to visit the castle? Now is an excellent time. Although the castle’s interior isn’t included in this tour, there are a few bonus stories to enjoy once inside. The ticket office is through the arch, and admissions information is available via the Learn More button. Clicking it will also provide more details on how this tour operates.

• Miradouro de Santa Luzia - Featuring a simple, slender white facade with red doors, the plaza around the church is likely to have caught your eye – green shrubs, an azure reflecting pool, and a vibrant bougainvillea over a trellis create a serene atmosphere. Many consider this terrace the most romantic spot in the city!

• History of Lisbon Mural by Nuno Saraiva - This tunnel is truly unique! Lisbon’s entire history is depicted in a delightful comic strip panel covering both walls by Nuno Saraiva.

• Alfama - Street art adorns nearly every wall as we walk. Some of it is truly Art with a capital A, while some can be described as the work of enthusiastic amateurs.

• Azulejos do Largo das Alcaçarias - A hallmark of Spanish and Portuguese architecture, these Azulejos embellish various structures, from churches and palaces to ordinary houses and subway stations. The glazed tiles often depict significant events in Portugal’s history.

• Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - This is Praça do Comercio. Constructed in the early 1500s to manage the new trade with India, this location symbolizes Portugal at its peak. A nation of just a few million people dominated the entire spice trade from India, generating immense new wealth that rivaled the gold and slave trades. In the 1500s, spices accounted for nearly half of Portugal’s state revenue.

• Cais das Colunas - These are the Cais das Colunas, inspired by the legendary bronze pillars of Solomon’s Temple. We won’t head over there just yet. Instead, take a seat on these steps directly ahead, facing the water. Once, these steps welcomed kings and queens into Lisbon. We are literally following in the footsteps of royalty.

• Arco da Rua Augusta - Initially intended as a simple belltower in the reconstruction plans, this intricately-carved structure evolved into something far more magnificent. Naturally, this meant it took nearly a century to complete!

• Casa Do Licor Pastel De Nata - Many of Portugal’s sweets are egg-based, but why? In the 18th century, convents and monasteries used numerous egg whites to starch robes, and the leftovers were used in food! Pastel de Natas emerged from this trend, too—monks created this breakfast treat right here in Lisbon, at Jerónimos Monastery!

• A Ginjinha - In the mid-1800s, the Portuguese prohibited their colonies from importing alcohol to monopolize the market. This was unfortunate for wine merchants, who had to set high prices to compensate for the loss of business from imported wines. One such merchant, Francisco Espinheira, sought a way to reduce costs.

• Praca da Figueira - The large equestrian statue at the square’s center was unveiled in 1971. It depicts none other than King John…. Do you recall the battle of the 3 Johns? This is the victorious John!
