The Journey
Alfama
Step back in time as you wander through Alfama, Lisbon's oldest district, a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets that survived the great earthquake of 1755. Feel the Moorish influence in its architecture, and immerse yourself in the soulful sounds of Fado emanating from intimate taverns. Visit during June to experience the vibrant Santo António festivities, where the streets come alive with music, dance, and the aroma of grilled sardines, offering an authentic taste of Lisbon's soul.
Lisbon Viewpoint
Ascend to one of Lisbon's numerous viewpoints for an awe-inspiring panorama of the city. From these vantage points, the terracotta rooftops cascade down to the Tagus River, offering unforgettable photo opportunities and a tranquil escape from the bustling streets below. Whether bathed in the golden light of sunset or sparkling under the midday sun, the views capture the essence of Lisbon's beauty.
Graça
Discover Graça, perched atop one of Lisbon's highest hills, adjacent to the historic São Jorge Castle. Visit the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte and the Miradouro da Graça (also known as Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen viewpoint), two of the city's most celebrated viewpoints, offering breathtaking perspectives. Explore the neighbourhood's working-class roots, marked by traditional courtyards and the iconic Tram 28, a symbol of Lisbon's charm and history.
National Pantheon
Marvel at the grandeur of the National Pantheon (Santa Engrácia Church), a majestic baroque monument that took three centuries to complete. Explore its impressive dome and discover the final resting place of Portugal's most influential cultural and political figures. This architectural masterpiece offers a profound connection to Portugal's rich history and artistic heritage.
Commerce Square
Experience the grandeur of Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), one of Europe's largest squares, opening onto the Tagus River. Historically the gateway to Lisbon, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, the square is framed by elegant arcades and dominated by the triumphal arch, Arco da Rua Augusta. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, relax at a riverside café, and imagine the bustling trade and royal ceremonies that once unfolded here.
