- Cidade Baixa - Downtown Lisbon, also known as Baixa Pombalina, is the vibrant heart of the city and one of its most renowned neighborhoods. Following the 1755 earthquake, it was entirely reconstructed under a pioneering urban plan led by the Marquis of Pombal. The streets are broad, straight, and arranged in a grid pattern, flanked by buildings showcasing neoclassical architecture.
During the tuk-tuk tour, visitors can admire sites such as Rossio, famous for its cafés and wavy cobblestone pavement, Praça da Figueira, and the grand Praça do Comércio, which faces the Tagus River. This area is ideal for experiencing the true essence of Lisbon — amidst monuments, historic façades, traditional shops, and lively street life.
It’s also a place where many locals and tourists cross paths daily. The Baixa is the perfect starting point for exploring the city, offering captivating stories, unique views, and an energy that harmonizes tradition and modernity.
- Lisbon Cathedral - Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Church of Santa Maria Maior, is the city’s oldest cathedral, constructed in the 12th century after Lisbon was reclaimed from the Moors. With its impressive Romanesque façade and two fortified towers, it stands as one of the capital’s most remarkable monuments.
Over the centuries, the Cathedral has undergone modifications and restorations, incorporating Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements. It has withstood several earthquakes, including the catastrophic 1755 quake, remaining a symbol of faith and resilience. Inside, the central nave, main altar, and cloister are notable, where archaeological remains from earlier periods, including Roman and Visigothic, have been discovered.
Visiting the Cathedral is an opportunity to delve into Lisbon’s history and experience the spirituality that spans centuries. It’s a must-see on any city tour.
- Largo Portas do Sol - The Viewpoint das Portas do Sol is one of Lisbon’s most iconic viewpoints, offering a stunning panorama over the rooftops of Alfama, the Tagus River, and landmarks such as the National Pantheon and the Church of São Vicente de Fora. Situated next to the old city walls, this lookout derives its name from the ancient gates of the Moorish walls that once stood here.
It’s an ideal spot to relax, take photos, and enjoy Lisbon’s unique light, especially at sunrise. With a popular terrace and statues like that of Saint Vincent, the city’s patron saint, the place blends history, beauty, and a vibrant atmosphere. It’s also a frequent stop for many tuk-tuks, trams, and tourists exploring the Alfama district.
Stopping here is more than just admiring the view — it’s about feeling the soul of Lisbon. A perfect place to enjoy the city calmly and charmingly, always with the Tagus River on the horizon.
- Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - The Viewpoint Senhora do Monte is one of the highest and most impressive in Lisbon, located in the Graça neighborhood. Positioned next to the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Hill, the patron saint of pregnant women, it offers one of the broadest views of the city: from São Jorge Castle to the Tagus River, passing through Baixa, Avenida da Liberdade, and even the 25th of April Bridge.
Less crowded than other viewpoints, it provides a serene and contemplative atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a moment of tranquility with a breathtaking landscape. The chapel and the viewpoint also hold significant spiritual importance for many Lisboetas.
It’s a perfect spot for taking photos, watching the sunset, or simply appreciating the unique beauty of Lisbon from above. Stopping here on a tuk-tuk tour is to discover a more peaceful Lisbon, full of authenticity and charm.
- Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora - The Church of São Vicente de Fora is one of Lisbon’s most significant monuments. The name “de Fora” refers to its location outside the old city walls. Originally, a simpler church dedicated to Saint Vincent, the patron saint of Lisbon, stood here.
In the 17th century, during the reign of King Philip I, the current church and monastery were constructed in a grand project combining Mannerist and Baroque styles. The imposing façade hints at an interior adorned with marble and Portuguese azulejos from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The monastery houses the tombs of the Braganza dynasty, including several kings and queens. The cloister is a highlight, featuring azulejo panels illustrating La Fontaine’s fables. From the terrace, there is a magnificent view over Alfama and the Tagus River.
São Vicente de Fora is a place of great historical, artistic, and spiritual value — an essential stop on any visit to Lisbon.
- Feira da Ladra - Feira da Ladra is Lisbon’s oldest and most popular market, known as the city’s flea market. It takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays in the historic Alfama neighborhood, near the National Pantheon.
Here, visitors will find a vast array of products: from antiques, books, furniture, and vintage clothes to handicrafts, souvenirs, and curious objects. The name “Ladra” comes from the word for “thief,” referring to stories of petty thefts at the market, but today it is mainly a vibrant space for trade and popular culture.
The market is perfect for those who enjoy hunting for treasures, discovering unique pieces, and experiencing the typical Lisbon atmosphere, with friendly vendors and tourists from all over the world. Visiting Feira da Ladra is to immerse oneself in the city’s authenticity, in an experience full of color, history, and movement.
- Panteao Nacional - In the heart of Alfama, the National Pantheon, also known as the Church of Santa Engrácia, is one of Lisbon’s most imposing buildings. With its grand white dome, visible from many parts of the city, the monument combines history, architecture, and tributes to great Portuguese figures.
Construction began in the 17th century but was only completed in the 20th century, giving rise to the popular expression “works of Santa Engrácia” to describe something endless.
Inside rest personalities such as Amália Rodrigues, Humberto Delgado, and Eusébio. The nave is spacious, decorated with colorful marble, and offers stunning views from the top of the dome.
From the viewpoint, you can admire the Tagus River and the rooftops of Alfama. It’s a must-stop for those wanting to feel the weight of Portuguese history in a majestic setting. Ideal for a cultural break during a tuk-tuk tour of Lisbon!
- Alfama - Alfama is the oldest and most authentic neighborhood in Lisbon, known for its narrow streets, steep hills, and unique atmosphere. This maze of alleys preserves the traditional spirit of the city, with colorful houses, typical azulejos, and flowered balconies.
Alfama is one of the neighborhoods where fado is deeply felt, with various houses and taverns where this traditional music can be enjoyed live, keeping Lisbon’s culture vibrant. Although fado’s deepest roots are in Mouraria, Alfama is today one of the main places to experience the music and the typical ambiance.
Additionally, the neighborhood offers important tourist spots such as São Jorge Castle, the National Pantheon, and the Viewpoint das Portas do Sol, which provide stunning views over Lisbon and the Tagus River.
Walking through Alfama is like traveling back in time, feeling the authenticity and history of Lisbon at every corner. An unmissable place to discover the soul of the city.
