What are the must-visit attractions in Lisbon?

  • Praca do Comércio

    This square in Lisbon is one of the city's most iconic squares, located on the banks of the Tagus River. It was once the site of the Royal Palace, but after the 1755 earthquake, it was rebuilt as a large commercial square surrounded by elegant yellow buildings and arches. In the center of the square stands the statue of King José I, while the imposing Arco da Rua Augusta provides access to Lisbon's historic center.
  • Castelo de Sao Jorge

    The Castelo de São Jorge is a historic castle that towers over Lisbon, offering stunning views of the city and the Tagus River. Originally built by the Moors in the 11th century, it played a crucial role in the city's defense and was later expanded by the Portuguese after the Christian reconquest. Today, visitors can walk along the ancient fortress walls, climb the medieval towers, and learn more about Lisbon's rich history in the accompanying museum.
  • Carmo Convent

    The Carmo Convent in Lisbon is an impressive Gothic ruin that serves as a reminder of the devastating 1755 earthquake. Once one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the city, only its imposing roofless structure remained standing after the disaster. In the following years, it was partially used as a storage space and later as the site of the Archaeological Museum of Carmo, where historical artifacts were exhibited.
  • Santa Justa Lift

    The Santa Justa Lift in Lisbon is a historic cast-iron elevator from 1902 that connects the Baixa district with the higher Chiado district. Designed in a Neo-Gothic style, the lift offers a stunning panoramic view of the city and the Tagus River. Once an important means of transport, it is now a popular tourist attraction. The lift was designed by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, an engineer influenced by the style of Gustave Eiffel.
  • 25 April Bridge

    Spanning the Tagus River in Lisbon, an iconic suspension bridge connects the city to Almada. Opened in 1966, the bridge features a striking red color and a design reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Originally named after dictator Salazar, it was renamed after the 1974 Carnation Revolution in honor of the uprising that ended the dictatorship.
  • Cathedral of Lisbon

    The Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Sé de Lisboa, is the oldest and most iconic church in the city. Built in the 12th century, the cathedral combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural elements. Despite earthquakes and renovations, it has retained its historic character. Inside, visitors can admire the impressive cloisters and treasures from Lisbon's religious past.
  • And much more!

    These are just some of the many sights you will visit with our audio tour during a walk through the historic center of Lisbon.
