- Lisbon Cathedral - Lisbon Cathedral stands as a prominent symbol of the city and is one of the country’s most important monuments, celebrated for its historical, religious, and artistic significance.
- Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - Known as the city of seven hills, Lisbon is filled with viewpoints offering stunning vistas. The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, situated in the Graça district, provides a unique panoramic view, considered one of the most beautiful in Lisbon, especially as it is one of the city’s highest points.
- Panteao Nacional - The Panteão Nacional is located in the parish of São Vicente de Fora, at Santa Engrácia Church. The current building stands where a church was originally erected in 1568 by order of Infanta D. Maria, daughter of D. Manuel I, upon the creation of the old parish of Santa Engrácia. Among the notable figures interred there are Amália Rodrigues, Marshal Humberto Delgado, and the remains of writers Aquilino Ribeiro, João de Deus, Almeida Garrett, Guerra Junqueiro, as well as Presidents of the Portuguese Republic Manuel de Arriaga, Teófilo Braga, Sidónio Pais, and Óscar Carmona. The National Pantheon also honors Luís de Camões, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Afonso de Albuquerque, Nuno Álvares Pereira, Vasco da Gama, and Infante D. Henrique with cenotaphs, although their remains are not present.
- Alfama - A genuine exploration of Lisbon, Alfama is one of the city’s most authentic districts, characterized by its unique architecture of old, colorful buildings that exude joy and tranquility. Wandering through Alfama’s charming alleys is an invitation to get pleasantly lost. Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest districts, was founded by the Arabs who named it “Al-hama,” meaning “source of warm waters, good waters.” Experiencing Lisbon authentically involves getting lost among the alleys and charms of this neighborhood, considered the heart of the city. As you stroll through Alfama’s narrow streets, you’ll feel like you’re in a small village, overhearing neighborly conversations, listening to fado echoing down the stairs, and seeing the Tagus from a different perspective.
- Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara - This viewpoint is surrounded by the unique details of Lisbon. Whether visiting during the day or night, take a few hours to enjoy the breathtaking views of Lisbon from the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint. It offers a perfect opportunity to appreciate a geometric garden adorned with statues of heroes and gods from Greco-Roman mythology, such as Minerva and Ulysses, and provides a privileged panoramic view of the Castle of São Jorge and its walls, the districts of Alfama and Baixa. If you are detail-oriented, use the viewpoint telescope to enjoy the finer details of the view, including the Tagus River and various new areas of Lisbon, such as wide avenues and modern and old buildings with diverse roof styles, the Cathedral, among other unique features. If you find yourself captivated by Lisbon’s details through the viewpoint, take a look at the tile panel with a map of the city, located next to the telescope. This tile panel, created by Fred Kradolfer in 1952, serves as a guide, much like a map of Lisbon. Isn’t it perfect? The São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint is not only a pleasant place to relax under the trees on one of the many comfortable benches, but it is also a popular spot for evening gatherings, especially before heading to the famous nightlife of the Alto district.
- Basilica da Estrela - This basilica is one of the most brilliant achievements of the late Baroque period, incorporating elements of neoclassicism. The Estrela Basilica serves as the pantheon of D. Maria I, the only queen of the Bragança dynasty not buried in the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora.
- Torre de Belem - Strategically constructed on the north bank of the Tagus River between 1514 and 1520 to defend Lisbon’s harbor, it is a masterpiece of architecture from the reign of King Manuel I.
The architectural ensemble features two distinct structures, models of military architecture: the medieval keep and the modern bulwark, which, with two levels for artillery, allowed for long-range, sweeping, and rebounding shots over water.
The Torre de Belém is a cultural landmark, symbolizing the country’s unique dialogue with other cultures and civilizations. It was recognized as “Cultural Heritage of All Humanity” by UNESCO in 1983.
- Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - The Jerónimos Monastery was declared a National Monument in 1907 and was recognized by UNESCO as “Cultural Heritage of All Humanity” in 1983.
Near the site where Infante D. Henrique, in the mid-15th century, ordered the construction of a church dedicated to St. Mary of Bethlehem, King D. Manuel I decided to build a grand monastery. To honor the memory of the Infante, his devotion to Our Lady, and his belief in St. Jerome, D. Manuel I founded the Monastery of St. Maria de Belém in 1496, near Lisbon and the Tagus River. Donated to the monks of the Order of St. Jerome, it is now commonly known as the Jerónimos Monastery.
The Monastery is a cultural landmark that has captivated artists, chroniclers, and travelers throughout its five centuries of existence. It served as a reception and burial site for kings and later poets. Today, it is admired not only as a remarkable piece of architecture but as an integral part of our culture and identity.
- Padrao dos Descobrimentos - The Monument of the Discoveries was initially constructed for the Portuguese World Exhibition.
The decision to hold the Portuguese World Exhibition in Belém was intended to highlight Portugal’s symbolic connection with the Tagus River, particularly the location from which, since the 14th century, ships set sail to explore unknown seas and lands. The Jeronimos Monastery serves as a backdrop, extending the exhibition space from Afonso de Albuquerque Square to the Belém Tower.
