2. Admire the Views from the Miradouro de Santa Luzia

3. Explore the History of the Belem Tower

Belem Tower is a 16th-century fortification that symbolizes Portugal's Age of Discovery. It is the gateway to Lisbon from the Atlantic Ocean and is covered in beautiful bastions, terraces and cloisters. While the tower’s main purpose was defense, it is built in a pleasing Manueline style. It was the first building many sailors would see on their return to Europe and its architects wished to show the power and wealth of Portugal.

4. Discover the Art and Architecture of São Jorge Castle

São Jorge Castle is a 10th-century fortification perched on a hill in the center of Lisbon. The hill is home to almost 3,000 years of history and has been fortified since the Romans held the city. São Jorge was built by the Berbers from Morocco before it was taken by the Portuguese during the Second Crusade. Explore the castle's history, admire its impressive architecture, and enjoy the views of the city from its ramparts.

Trolley number 28 might be the most photographed tram in the world. It’s a fun and nostalgic way to see the city and its sights. The 28 travels through many of Lisbon’s main tourist areas so you can catch all the sights as you pass by. The vintage yellow-and-cream-colored trolley can be very busy, so it’s best to go early in the morning.
