Highlights
  • Champalimaud Foundation - Discover one of the most futuristic and remarkable buildings in Lisbon, facing right onto the Tagus. Between the nationalistic tradition of the Torre de Belém and the symbol of seafaring toil that is the Doca de Pedrouços you’ll find the Champalimaud Foundation. Also known as the Centre of Research into the Unknown, the building is as innovative and important as the biomedical research performed inside.

The building, designed by the architect Charles Correa, seeks to raise architecture to the level of sculpture, sculpture to the level of beauty and beauty to the level of therapy – in order to honour the centre’s work.

If you have an interest in Lisbon's contemporary architecture, do not miss this tour! - I was looking for an "off the beaten track" tour of contemporary architecture in Lisbon, where most tours cover traditional architecture. This tour has it in spades! We covered at least 18 sites with plenty of opportunity to photograph up close. Although it was a little more expensive than a group tour, it was worth every euro! The tour guide was very conscientious in picking up from the hotel and inquiring as to my architectural interests. He was also very informative regarding information of the various buildings and was able to get access to some more difficult to see. As I have a tendency to ask lots of questions, my tour guide had lots of answers! I honestly have nothing but great things to say about this tour and really cannot think of anything that could improve it. Even the weather was great! :) I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see and learn about Lisbon's contemporary architecture!
