The Journey
Padrão dos Descobrimentos
The Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries) stands proudly on the Tagus River's edge in Belém, Lisbon, commemorating Portugal's illustrious Age of Exploration. This striking monument honors the explorers, navigators, and visionaries who shaped the world in the 15th and 16th centuries. Step onto its observation deck for panoramic views of the Belém district, Jerónimos Monastery, and the Tagus River, connecting you to the spirit of adventure and discovery that once defined Portugal.
25 de Abril Bridge
Spanning the Tagus River, the 25 de Abril Bridge is an iconic Lisbon landmark often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge. This suspension bridge connects Lisbon to Almada and offers breathtaking views of the city and the river. Originally named the Salazar Bridge, it was renamed to commemorate the Carnation Revolution. Whether you drive across or admire it from afar, the bridge is a symbol of Lisbon's modern identity and a testament to engineering prowess.
Belém Tower
Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an iconic symbol of Lisbon and Portugal's Age of Discovery. Originally built as a fortress to defend the city, it later served as a ceremonial gateway and a starting point for explorers venturing into the unknown. Explore its intricate architecture, climb to the top for stunning views of the Tagus River, and imagine the brave seafarers who once set sail from this historic landmark.
Sanctuary of Christ the King
Perched atop a hill in Almada, overlooking Lisbon, the Sanctuary of Christ the King is a majestic monument inspired by Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer. Erected as a symbol of gratitude for Portugal's spared involvement in World War II, this towering statue offers unparalleled panoramic views of Lisbon and the Tagus River. Visit this serene sanctuary for a moment of reflection and to appreciate the stunning cityscape from a unique vantage point.
Praça do Comércio
Praça do Comércio, Lisbon's grandest square, opens onto the Tagus River, offering a majestic sense of arrival. Rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake, this expansive square was once home to the Royal Ribeira Palace. Today, it is surrounded by elegant arcades housing cafes, restaurants, and shops. Stroll through the square, admire the Arco da Rua Augusta, and feel the pulse of Lisbon's vibrant history and culture.
