• Cidade Baixa - In 1755, Lisbon experienced the largest earthquake ever recorded in Europe. The Prime Minister at the time, the Marquis of Pombal, undertook the mission to rebuild the city center, which was completely devastated by this disaster.

This led to the creation of the first modern European city: “Baixa Pombalina.” With its urban and geometric architectural design, it became a model for the construction of other new cities, particularly in the New World (such as Manhattan in New York, Chicago city center, etc.).

In Baixa, visitors can explore the renowned squares “Praça do Comércio” and “Rossio” (featuring the statue of the first Emperor of Brazil, D. Pedro I), Rua Augusta (Portugal’s most significant pedestrian street, with its famous Arch of Triumph).

• Centro Historico de Sintra - Sintra is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable places in Portugal, primarily due to its microclimate that transforms this small town, located on the slopes of the “Serra de Sintra” mountain range and near the Atlantic, into a major attraction for visitors.

Visitors can admire its famous castles and palaces or simply enjoy the traditional food, pastries, sweets, and souvenir shops offering typical local items.

In its historic center, there is time to try the famous “travesseiros” and “queijadas” at the Piriquita Pastry Shop and explore the narrow streets of Portugal’s most romantic town.

• Park and National Palace of Pena - The choice of which palace (or palaces) to visit is yours. The guide will suggest visiting between: “Quinta da Regaleira,” a 19th-century palace that appears older, with impressive decoration rich in Masonic symbolism; the Moorish Castle, a testament to the Islamic presence in the region, built between the 8th and 9th centuries and expanded after the Reconquest; or the Palácio da Pena, a fantastical and revivalist reconstruction, reflecting 19th-century romanticism, inspired by the passion and imagination of the artist D. Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, consort of D. Maria II.

• Torre de Belem - Belem, the Lisbon district that embodies the epic of the Portuguese Discoveries, features several monuments classified as Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, such as the Jerónimos Monastery and Torre de Belém in the Manueline style, in a unique urban setting. Additionally, the more modern Monument of the Discoveries and the Plaza do Imperio enhance the grandeur of the Great Portuguese Empire era. Explore the elements that narrate the story.

All of this is set in a delightful location next to the Tagus River, with green spaces and a unique atmosphere featuring marinas and sailing clubs, as well as a cycle path where the fresh sea air complements the stunning view. Don’t miss the Pastéis de Belém, a secret and magical recipe that brings joy.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - Belem, the Lisbon district that embodies the epic of the Portuguese Discoveries, features several monuments classified as Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The Portuguese empire became one of the largest in history, and the majestic monuments found in Belem reflect the golden era of Portugal’s history. These include the Monastery of Jerónimos, Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries, with statues of great Portuguese sailors and explorers like Pedro Alvares Cabral and Vasco da Gama, among others.

A must-visit is the famous “Pastéis de Belém,” one of Portugal’s most iconic pastries/sweets.
