Highlights
- Praça Dom Pedro IV - Pedro IV Square, commonly known as Rossio, is a historic square in the Baixa district, the heart of Lisbon for centuries. It has hosted trials, performances, festivals, military parades, and Inquisition-era autos de fe. In Roman times, it was the site of a circus.
- Baixa de Lisboa - Baixa is Lisbon’s historic and commercial hub. Neoclassical buildings, constructed after the 1755 earthquake, surround Comercio and Rossio squares. The bustling pedestrian streets are filled with traditional seafood restaurants and souvenir shops. The National Museum of Contemporary Art in the elegant Chiado district showcases Portuguese art from the mid-18th century to the present. The Santa Justa Elevator offers stunning city views.
- Lisbon Cathedral - The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, or Sé de Lisboa, is the metropolitan cathedral and patriarchal seat of Lisbon. Construction began in 1148, a year after Alfonso Enriques captured the city. It is the oldest church in Lisbon.
- Miradouro das Portas do Sol - This spectacular viewpoint offers panoramic views of Alfama’s traditional houses, red roofs, and city churches.
- Graça - Graça was a parish in the municipality of Lisbon, in the district of Lisboa.
- Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - The Senhora do Monte Viewpoint is a significant historical landmark in Lisbon. Despite its exceptional panoramic view, it remains one of the city’s quietest viewpoints. Near the Graça viewpoint, its stage-like shape provides a prime platform to observe the capital. To the left is the Graça church, the houses of the Castle, and the majestic St. George’s Castle, the city’s guardian. In the background, the sea and the Tagus estuary illuminate the rooftops of Baixa, the Carmo ruins, the green of Monsanto, and the pastel colors of Avenidas Novas. This is where the first King of Portugal set up camp for the conquest of Lisbon. Nine centuries later, the Senhora do Monte, with its Hermitage founded in 1147, will captivate you.
- Mosteiro de Sao Vicente de Fora - The church or monastery of San Vicente de Fora is dedicated to St. Vincent, who was declared the patron saint of Lisbon in 1173 when his relics were moved from the Algarve to a church outside the city walls. Designed by Italian architect Filippo Terzi and Spaniard Juan de Herrera, and completed in 1627, the church features a monumental, sober, and symmetrical facade with towers on each side and statues of Saints Augustine, Sebastian, and Vincent above the entrance. Inside, the baroque baldachin by Machado de Castro stands out above the altar, flanked by life-size wooden statues.
- National Pantheon - The National Pantheon of Portugal (Panteão Nacional) is located in the parish of São Vicente de Fora, Lisbon, specifically in the Church of Santa Engracia (Igreja de Santa Engrácia). The current building stands on the site where a church was erected in 1568 by order of Infanta D. Maria, daughter of King D. Manuel I, to mark the creation of the parish of Santa Engrácia.
- Fado Museum - Opened on September 25, 1998, the Fado Museum is dedicated to the world of Fado and the Portuguese guitar. It is located in the Alfama district of Lisbon. The museum building was once the water pumping station of the Praia district.
- Alfama - Alfama is one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods. Its steep streets are lined with cafes and shops selling traditional crafts. The historic tram No. 28, filled with passengers, winds through Alfama to the 11th-century São Jorge Castle. The Gracia belvedere terrace offers views across the city to the Tagus. In the evenings, the melancholic sounds of fado can be heard in some of the area’s well-established restaurants.
- Praça do Comércio - Praça do Comércio is one of Lisbon’s most important squares. With a great view of the Tagus estuary, it is the city’s nerve center. It was the site of the Royal Palace of Lisbon for over 200 years.
- Chiado - The Chiado neighborhood, Lisbon’s commercial and theatrical heart, features Rua Garrett Avenue with upscale boutiques and restaurants, and the 18th-century Bertrand Bookstore. Residents often gather by the statues of Portuguese literary greats in the lively Praça Luís de Camões. Nearby are the Church of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação and the Church of Nossa Senhora de Loreto, with ornate marble interiors, and the 18th-century Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, which boasts Rococo-style décor.
- Largo do Carmo - Largo do Carmo is a square in Lisbon. Nestled in the Chiado area, it features jacaranda trees and the ruins of the 14th-century Carmo Convent, now home to the Carmo Archaeological Museum. Opposite the convent is the Carmo Fountain (1771), supplied by the Águas Livres Aqueduct through the Loreto Gallery.
- Bairro Alto - The bohemian Bairro Alto has steep cobblestone streets where tourists take the Elevador da Bica, visit the ornate São Roque church, and enjoy views from the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. Many of the neighborhood’s centuries-old houses are adorned with vibrant street art. After sunset, diverse crowds fill the quirky, trendy bars, and the evocative sound of fado drifts from traditional restaurants.
- Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara - The Garden of São Pedro de Alcântara is a garden in Lisbon’s Misericórdia parish. Built in 1864 on two terraces, it covers an area of 0.6 hectares. It is located on Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara, near Bairro Alto.
- Principe Real - Príncipe Real is an exclusive area known for its 19th-century mansions, gay bars, and fashionable shops. The Moorish-style Embaixada palace is a key shopping destination for local designer fashions and concept stores. The neighborhood also features many small art galleries and antique shops. Quiet spots like the Royal Prince’s garden, with benches shaded by a huge cedar tree resembling an umbrella, offer a peaceful retreat.
