- Torre de Belem - A crucial structure in the 1500s for defending the city against oceanic attacks. It also served as a prison and the governor’s residence. It is over 500 years old.
- Tejo Power Station - This museum is located in a group of buildings recognized as national heritage - the Central Tejo or Lisbon power station. Besides the building itself, the main attraction is the machinery that supplied electricity to Lisbon in the early 20th century. It includes 19th-century dynamos and electric motors, steam engines, high-pressure boilers, hydraulic generators, and other tools and equipment.
- MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology - Opened in October 2016 as part of the EDP Foundation’s long-standing cultural patronage, MAAT is an international institution dedicated to fostering critical discourse and creative practice, aiming to inspire new understandings of the historical present and a responsible commitment to the future.
Located on the riverfront in Lisbon’s historic Belém district, MAAT consists of a former power station built in 1908 – MAAT Central – and a modern building – MAAT Gallery – connected by a park that stretches along the River Tagus: MAAT Garden. In addition to temporary exhibitions and activities – Agenda – the museum also features permanent exhibitions like The Electricity Factory at Central Tejo and sculptures in the outdoor spaces.
- Cordoaria Nacional - The Fábrica Nacional de Cordoaria, or Cordoaria Nacional, was part of the Portuguese Navy. This is where the cables, sisal ropes, sails, and flags for Portuguese ships were made. The building, dating back to the 1770s, has been a national monument since 1996.
The art gallery, located in the Torreão Nascente (Eastern Tower), regularly hosts major exhibitions from Portuguese and international collections.
- 25 de Abril Bridge - The Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge) is a renowned suspension bridge spanning the Tagus River, linking Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, to the municipality of Almada on the south bank. It is a notable landmark often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco due to its similar design and “International Orange” color, and was constructed by the same American company.
Original Name: The bridge’s construction began in November 1962 and it was inaugurated on August 6, 1966. It was initially named the Ponte Salazar (Salazar Bridge) in honor of António de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal’s dictator at the time.
- Bairro Alto, Bica & Cais do Sodre - Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s most historic and vibrant neighborhoods, known for its distinct day-and-night contrasts. During the day, it offers a serene atmosphere with traditional architecture, small independent shops, and colorful street art. As night falls, it transforms into one of the city’s most popular nightlife districts, filled with bars, restaurants, and Fado houses. Situated on a hill, its narrow cobblestone streets blend residential charm with a lively commercial scene.
Chiado, Lisbon’s upscale neighborhood, is a hub of studios, unique shops, renovated spaces, and delightful pavement cafés for observing the constant flow of shoppers, wanderers, and those still searching for the river.
Baixa, more traditional and authentic, offers souvenir shops, famous patisseries, and adventurous eateries. Take your time to explore the streets and corners and all their charms.
- Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - Once an important commercial square, it is now a relaxing and beautiful square with bars, shops, and a stunning view of the river.
- Castelo de S. Jorge - A significant castle built to protect the city. Old neighborhoods developed around it.
- Alfama - Alfama, the oldest and most traditional neighborhood in Lisbon, with cobbled lanes and alleys and steep, challenging inclines, should be explored gradually, pausing frequently to enjoy the view, atmosphere, and authentic spirit of the oldest part of the capital. Take a deep breath and begin to climb the hill that will reveal one of the best views of the city.
- Basilica da Estrela - A beautiful church
- Almada - Almada, on the south bank of the River Tagus, offers undoubtedly the best view of Lisbon. The most remarkable views are from the castle, the panoramic funicular of the Boca do Vento (Mouth of the Wind), and especially the statue of Christ the King, built in 1959.
In past centuries, Almada was a favored summer retreat for the Court, which commissioned the construction of stately homes and buildings that are still preserved in the city.
Life in Almada does not solely revolve around the capital, where most of its residents work; it is a city with its own vibrant life, hosting well-attended events like the Theatre Festival.
