Itinerary and highlights
The Eduardo VII Park is the starting point of the visit. This is the largest urban park in the city centre and offers a wide view of the Lower Lisbon and the Tejo River, allowing a first geographic and urban reading of the capital.
The Lisbon Cathedral, located in Largo da Sé, is the oldest temple in the city, dating back to the 12th century. With a predominantly Romanesque style, it reflects the history of Lisbon since its Christian foundation, being an essential witness to religious and urban life over the centuries.
The Miradouro das Portas do Sol is one of the city’s most emblematic viewpoints, offering a privileged view of the Alfama neighborhood, the traditional casario and the Tejo River, being an ideal spot to understand Lisbon’s historic identity.
The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, located at one of the highest points in the city, offers one of the most complete panoramic views of Lisbon, allowing you to simultaneously observe several hills, historic neighborhoods and the Estuary of the Tejo.
The Alfama district is the oldest core of the city. It is characterized by narrow streets, staircases, traditional facades and a strong connection to Lisbon folk culture, including Fado. Alfama allows visitors to immerse themselves in the authenticity of Lisbon life and understand the social and cultural tradition that shaped the city.
The Jeronimos Monastery, built in the 16th century, is one of the most important works of the Manueline style. Associated with the Portuguese Discoveries, it is also the graveyard of historical figures such as Vasco da Gama, representing one of the largest architectural and cultural legacy of the country.
The Tower of Belém, located on Avenida Brasília, is one of the most recognized symbols of Lisbon and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 16th century, it had defensive and ceremonial functions during the Age of Discoveries. The tower stands out for its Manueline architecture and its strategic location along the Tejo River, offering a unique historical and visual perspective.
The Pattern of Discoveries is a commemorative monument of the 20th century dedicated to the Portuguese maritime expansion, celebrating historical figures linked to the Age of Discoveries and the central role of Portugal in the history of navigation.
The National Park, located in the eastern part of Lisbon, represents modern and contemporary Lisbon. With innovative architecture, green areas, cultural spaces and the proximity of the Tejo River, this place shows the contrast and harmony between the historic Lisbon and the contemporary city.
