• Baixa, Rossio & Restauradores - The downtown area of Lisbon, known as “Baixa Pombalina,” is the city’s heart and was entirely reconstructed after the catastrophic earthquake of 1755. Spanning approximately 255 hectares, it features splendid squares connected by straight avenues lined with grand 18th-century architecture.
• Terreiro do Paço - Rua Augusta was seen as Lisbon’s gateway to the world, symbolizing a “portal” to the city’s mysteries. Passing through the arch, one transitions from darkness and ignorance to the light and wisdom that Lisbon offers. Be enlightened by its stories.
• Lisbon Cathedral - This church was built in the 12th century after the conquest of the Moorish city, replacing a mosque that once stood there. It is the only church in Portugal with a “Holy Door” and one of the few in the Christian world. Why? Come and find out…
• Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano - Discover the Roman Theatre, constructed in the first century during the reign of Emperor Augustus. The Roman city was named Felicitas Iulia Olisipo. Augustus bestowed this name upon the settlement during its ennoblement between 31 and 27 BC. Following the conquest of Hispania, peace was established in the empire, fostering intense commercial relationships with various Roman provinces. Olisipo’s wealth, primarily from fish farming, and its strategic location made it the maritime capital of Lusitania. Abandoned in the fourth century, it was rediscovered in 1798 after the 1755 earthquake during Lisbon’s reconstruction.
• Castelo de S. Jorge - Visit S. Jorge Castle, situated in the old medieval citadel once inhabited by the Moors, who fortified it for defense. When D. Afonso Henriques, Portugal’s founding king, captured the castle in 1147 after a three-month siege, he expelled the Muslims and opened the castle to Christianity. If you wish to tour the castle’s interior, you can ask your guide to purchase tickets for you (not included), as they have “fast track” access, allowing you to avoid long lines.
• Miradouro de Santa Luzia - At the Santa Luzia Viewpoint, one of Lisbon’s most beautiful, you can see the city’s oldest neighborhood, Alfama. On clear days, you can also see the Arrabida Natural Reserve, 50 kilometers south of Lisbon. The church in this small square is the “National Headquarters of Portuguese Knights of Malta.” What is their mystery?
• Alfama - Explore Alfama, the oldest and one of the most traditional neighborhoods in Lisbon. Its name comes from the Moorish word al-hamma, meaning baths or fountains.
• Bairro Alto - Ascend to this part of the city to get an idea of what you can do in Lisbon for the rest of your stay.
• Largo do Carmo - Located in the Chiado area, Largo do Carmo is known for its historic jacaranda trees. The square is home to the ruins of the Convento do Carmo, built in the 14th century, which now houses the Archaeology Museum and the Carmo Museum.
• Elevador de Santa Justa - From the top of this neo-Gothic structure, built in 1902, you can enjoy another view of Lisbon and Rossio Square. Contrary to popular belief, the engineer Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, not Gustave Eiffel, designed it. However, Ponsard did apply some techniques and materials already used in France.
• Rossio Square - Discover the darker side of this square’s history in Lisbon. Sadly, Rossio Square has a very dark past, as it was the center of the Holy Inquisition in Portugal. Most public punishments, tortures, and executions took place here. Being summoned to Rossio was never a good omen. Learn its stories. This is also where the tour concludes.
