Built in the shadow of São Jorge Castle, Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon. It is full of ancient, narrow streets to get lost in as you discover many of the city’s most important landmarks. You’ll be surrounded by the sound of fado, the traditional Portuguese music, as you stroll past the traditional houses and catch panoramic views of the Tejo Estuary.
Hidden behind the church it’s named for is the Miradouro de Santa Luzia garden. This is an incredible viewpoint overlooking the river and possibly the most romantic place in the city. You can savor a coffee or a glass of Portuguese wine as you soak in the breathtaking scenery.
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.
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.
Try some of the best seafood in the world at Mercado da Ribeira, Lisbon's main food market. Even if you don’t eat fish, there’s a huge range of fresh produce to try at one of the many stalls. From freshly caught shellfish to local cheese, ham and pastries, the market is a must-visit for foodies.
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.
The Monument to the Discoveries is a striking monument that honors Portugal's Age of Discovery and its explorers. The huge modernist monument stands on the banks of the Tagus and shows Henry the Navigator and many other important seamen from Portuguese history. A stroll along the riverside promenade will give you beautiful views of Lisbon and the river.
Take a leisurely walk through the beautifully manicured gardens of the Parque Eduardo VII, Lisbon's central park. The park is named for the English King Edward and holds many statues. You will admire the park's stunning views of the city, including panoramas of São Jorge Castle, and can enjoy a picnic — or just relax in the shade.
Housed in a purpose-built modernist building, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum is one of the most important private collections of art in the world. It holds art, artifacts, and treasures from around the world that date from ancient Egypt to the 20th century, including works by Renoir and Rembrandt, and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon.
LXFactory is a huge cultural and creative hub housed in a former industrial complex. It is full of street art, artisanal shops, cafés, and restaurants. There is always an event celebrating art, food, or dance so it’s the perfect place to get a taste of vibrant life in Lisbon.
