What to expect
Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is one of Lisbon’s most breathtaking viewpoints. From here, you get a wide panoramic view over the red rooftops, the Tagus River, and iconic landmarks like the São Jorge Castle and the 25 de Abril Bridge. It’s a peaceful spot, slightly away from the crowds, perfect for photos—especially at sunset when the city glows in golden light.
10 minutes
The Lisbon Cathedral, also known as Sé, is the oldest and most important church in the city, dating back to the 12th century. Built shortly after the Christian reconquest of Lisbon, it has a fortress-like appearance, reflecting its role in a time of conflict. Inside, you’ll find a mix of architectural styles—Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque—along with beautiful chapels and a peaceful cloister. It’s a key historical landmark and a symbol of Lisbon’s rich past, located right in the heart of the Alfama district.
10 minutes
The Praça do Comércio is one of Lisbon’s most impressive and historic squares, located right by the Tagus River. Once the site of the royal palace before the 1755 earthquake, it was rebuilt as a grand open space symbolizing the city’s rebirth. Surrounded by elegant yellow arcaded buildings, it opens toward the water and is marked by the iconic Arco da Rua Augusta and the statue of King José I at its center. It’s a lively meeting point, perfect for enjoying the views, taking photos, and feeling the pulse of Lisbon.
The Miradouro de Santa Luzia e Portas do Sol is one of Lisbon’s most iconic viewpoints, located in the historic Alfama district. From here, you can admire sweeping views over the terracotta rooftops, the Tagus River, and the picturesque maze of narrow streets below. It’s a lively and charming spot, often filled with music and street life, making it a favorite stop for visitors. Perfect for photos at any time of day, especially in the soft morning light or at sunset.
10 minutes
Jerónimos Monastery
The Jerónimos Monastery is one of Portugal’s most remarkable landmarks and a masterpiece of Manueline architecture, dating back to the 16th century. Built to celebrate Vasco da Gama’s voyage to India, it reflects the wealth and power of Portugal during the Age of Discoveries. Inside, you’ll find beautifully detailed stone carvings, grand cloisters, and the tombs of important historical figures, including Vasco da Gama himself. Located in the Belém district, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see for its history, artistry, and connection to Portugal’s golden age of exploration, we are going to see just from outside
Torre de Belem
The Belém Tower is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, built in the early 16th century to guard the entrance to the city’s harbor. This beautiful fortress is a symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discoveries, from where many explorers set sail. With its intricate Manueline details, stone carvings, and seaside setting along the Tagus River, it’s both a defensive structure and a decorative monument. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a perfect spot for photos, offering a glimpse into Lisbon’s maritime history.
