Itinerary and highlights

The tour begins at the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, one of Portugal's great religious ensembles, founded after the Christian conquest of Lisbon in 1147. Inside you will discover monumental cloisters, an extraordinary collection of Baroque tiles, the sacristy of polychrome marbles, a medieval cistern from the 12th century and the royal pantheons of the Bragança dynasty and the Patriarchs of Lisbon. In addition, this place has a special spiritual value: here was formed St. Anthony of Lisbon, before becoming one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic world.
One of the most memorable moments of the tour is the climb to the roof of the monastery, a little-known panoramic viewpoint with 360-degree views over Lisbon, the Tagus River, Alfama and the historic center. A perfect place to understand the city from another perspective and enjoy one of its most impressive views.

We have preferential access.

The experience continues to the Church of Santo António, built in the place where, according to tradition, Saint Anthony was born. This sanctuary, built on top of his former family home, is one of Lisbon’s most important spaces of devotion. Here you can connect with the most intimate and spiritual dimension of the city, in a place deeply linked to popular faith, pilgrimages and the Lisbon religious identity.

The tour ends at the Se of Lisbon, the city's Cathedral and its oldest church. Started in the 12th century, this monument combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture. Inside you will discover chapels, tombs, altarpieces, sacred art objects and the Treasure Museum, with relics linked to Saint Vincent and Saint Anthony. The Cathedral is also associated with the tradition of the baptism of Saint Anthony, which makes this stop an essential point to understand your spiritual life from its origins.
