• Castelo de S. Jorge - São Jorge Castle (Castelo de São Jorge) is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks. The castle’s silhouette is striking both during the day and when lit up at night, perched atop São Jorge hill, the highest point in Lisbon. This hill also hosts two of the city’s neighborhoods, Alfama and Castelo.

Originally, a small fortress was constructed by the Visigoths in the fifth century. It was later expanded by the Moors in the mid-eleventh century. During the reign of Afonso I of Portugal (1109 – 1185), it underwent further modifications and was eventually transformed into a Royal Palace. The castle was fully restored in 1938.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - The Jerónimos Monastery, also known as Hieronymites Monastery, is one of Lisbon’s most frequented attractions. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983. In Portuguese, it is called Mosteiro dos Jerónimos.

This religious structure was designed by Portuguese architect Diogo de Boitaca to celebrate Vasco da Gama’s return from India. Construction began on January 6, 1501, and was completed in the seventeenth century. The building predominantly features Manueline style (Portuguese late Gothic).

Interestingly, the monastery was erected on the site of the former Ermida do Restelo, the chapel where Vasco da Gama and his crew prayed before embarking on their journey along the African coast to India.

• Alfama - Alfama is one of Lisbon’s most authentic neighborhoods, characterized by its unique architecture with old and colorful buildings that impart a joyful and tranquil atmosphere.
• Panteao Nacional - The National Pantheon is a symbol of Portuguese identity, serving as an emblematic monument that honors the great men and women to whom the country owes its gratitude. It is a memory that perpetuates and symbolizes the highest posthumous honor granted in Portugal. Let’s explore it?
• Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - Praça do Comércio, known as Commerce Square in English, is Lisbon’s main square. It was constructed on the site of the former Royal Palace, which was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755.

The southern end of the plaza is open and overlooks the Tagus River. The other three sides feature yellow-colored buildings with arcades along the façade. Initially, commercial ships would unload their goods directly onto this square, as it was considered the “gateway” to Lisbon.

Near the square, on the riverbank, is the Cais de Sodré ferry terminal, from which several ferries depart along the Tagus River.

• Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora - The Church and Monastery of São Vicente de Fora is one of the historic buildings in the Portuguese capital, dedicated to the city’s patron saint since 1173: São Vicente.

The origins of the Monastery of São Vicente are ancient (it is believed that the troops of D. Afonso Henriques camped here during the significant capture of Lisbon from the Moors in 1147). However, the current building was constructed between 1582 and 1629.

• Museu do Fado - Fado is undoubtedly a must-see for visitors to Lisbon! Fado is a music genre deeply rooted in the soul of the Portuguese people. It tells a story of Portuguese history, and while there are many variations of Fado, they all share mournful melodies and melancholic lyrics.

This is loosely captured by the word ‘saudade’, which conveys nostalgia and the concept of ‘longing’. Fado evokes strong emotions when listened to and is an experience that is highly recommended!

• Torre de Belem - The Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) was constructed between 1514 and 1520 in a Manueline style by Portuguese architect and sculptor Francisco de Arruda. It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.

Built on the northern bank of the Tagus River, this tower was initially used to defend the city. Later, it was converted into a lighthouse and customs house.
