Lisbon Itinerary

Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - Marvel at the pinnacle of Manueline architecture in Portugal. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a tribute to the Age of Discovery. Visitors can explore the grand church where Vasco da Gama and Luís de Camões are interred, surrounded by exquisite stone-carved designs.

Torre de Belem - Explore this iconic fortress resembling a stone ship, strategically located at the mouth of the Tagus River. A symbol of Lisbon and its overseas expansion, the tower is a stunning example of military architecture adorned with nautical and exotic motifs.

25 de Abril Bridge - Traverse the renowned suspension bridge, often likened to San Francisco’s Golden Gate. Enjoy a unique view of the Tagus River and the city’s hills as the journey continues to the south bank. Pass through without stopping.

Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei - Visit one of the region’s most remarkable monuments. The Christ the King statue, with arms outstretched over the capital, provides one of the most comprehensive and breathtaking panoramic views of Lisbon and the Tagus estuary.

Carmo Convent - Discover the ruins of the Carmo Convent, one of Lisbon’s most captivating sights. Left roofless by the 1755 earthquake, it stands as a poetic testament to the city’s resilience and the beauty of Gothic architecture.

Elevador de Santa Justa - Situated just behind the Carmo ruins, this Neo-Gothic iron elevator is an engineering marvel. At the top, visitors will find a privileged viewpoint with a direct view of São Jorge Castle and the historic downtown.

Chiado - Stroll through Lisbon’s most cosmopolitan and literary district. Experience the city’s vibrant atmosphere among historic cafes, century-old bookstores, and elegant facades that narrate the story of 19th-century Lisbon bourgeoisie.

Lisbon Cathedral - Explore the oldest church in the city, with its Romanesque fortress-like appearance. Located on the ascent to Alfama, the Cathedral has withstood multiple earthquakes and holds centuries of religious and architectural history within its granite walls.

Miradouro das Portas do Sol - To conclude the first day, visit the highest point in the Graça neighborhood. This “hidden” terrace offers the most stunning panoramic view of Lisbon. As the sun sets, see the São Jorge Castle, the Tagus River, and the city’s historic rooftops spread out in a sea of white and terracotta. It is the perfect spot for a final photograph and a moment of quiet reflection before returning to the hotel.
