Alfama

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest district, known for its labyrinthine streets, traditional Fado houses, and historic charm. Nestled between the São Jorge Castle and the Tagus River, this area retains much of its original layout dating back to the Moorish period. Characterised by quaint, narrow lanes, steep staircases, and stunning viewpoints, Alfama is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, especially during the popular Saints' Festivals. The area is also home to many historic churches and the impressive Lisbon Cathedral, making it a focal point of cultural heritage in the city.

Castelo de S. Jorge

Admission ticket not included

The Castelo de São Jorge is a prominent historical landmark perched atop Lisbon's highest hill, offering sweeping views of the city and the Tagus River. Dating back to the 11th century, this Moorish castle was captured by the Portuguese during the Christian reconquest of Portugal. Today, it serves as a museum and public space, where visitors can explore its storied ramparts, archaeological sites, and verdant gardens. The castle's rich history and panoramic vistas make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the historic heart of Lisbon. Tickets can be bought in the entrance from 0 to 15 €.

Cidade Baixa

Baixa is the heart of Lisbon's city centre area, known for its orthogonal layout, neoclassical architecture, and bustling commercial streets. This district was completely rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marquis of Pombal. The Elevador de Santa Justa, located within Baixa, is a striking 19th-century lift that offers a unique blend of neo-Gothic design with modern engineering. This lift not only provides a practical connection between Baixa and the higher Largo do Carmo but also offers visitors spectacular views of the cityscape from its viewing platform.

Largo do Carmo

Largo do Carmo is a historic square in Lisbon, known for its tranquil atmosphere and the ruins of the Carmo Convent, which was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. This area is a poignant reminder of Lisbon's history and offers a quiet escape with its tree-lined spaces and outdoor cafes. Adjacent to Largo do Carmo is Chiado, a vibrant cultural and shopping district that blends old-world charm with contemporary flair. Chiado is bustling with theatres, bookshops, and historic cafes like A Brasileira, making it a favourite among both locals and tourists for its lively ambiance and cultural offerings.

Igreja de Sao Roque (Pass by)

The Igreja de São Roque in Lisbon is one of the city's most significant and oldest Jesuit churches, renowned for its plain exterior that belies a richly decorated interior. Built in the 16th century, it houses several chapels that are masterpieces of Baroque art, with intricate gilded woodwork, precious stones, and exquisite tile work. The most notable is the Chapel of St. John the Baptist, considered a masterpiece of European art. The church also includes a museum that displays sacred artefacts and works of religious art, adding further cultural depth to this historic site.

Bairro Alto

Bairro Alto is a picturesque area in Lisbon known for its bohemian vibe, eclectic mix of boutiques, traditional Fado houses, and vibrant nightlife. Characterised by its grid of narrow cobbled streets, the area comes alive at night when its numerous bars, restaurants, and clubs fill with locals and tourists looking for entertainment. By day, Bairro Alto offers a quieter atmosphere, ideal for exploring its quirky shops, art galleries, and casual cafes. This district's blend of traditional charm and contemporary culture makes it a dynamic spot in Lisbon's urban tapestry.

Time Out Market Lisboa

Cais do Sodré is a trendy riverside district in Lisbon, once known for its nightlife and now a hub of cultural activity. A key highlight is the Time Out Market, a vibrant food hall located in a renovated market space that brings together some of Lisbon's best foods and chefs under one roof. This market is a foodie paradise, offering a wide array of high-quality, diverse cuisine ranging from traditional Portuguese dishes to international flavours.

Belem

The Belem Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery are iconic landmarks in Lisbon's Belém district, both exemplifying Portugal's Age of Discoveries. The Belem Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a fortified tower built in the early 16th century to guard the entrance to Lisbon's harbour. Its ornate Manueline architecture reflects the rich maritime heritage of the era. Nearby, the Jerónimos Monastery is another stunning example of Manueline architecture, originally commissioned to celebrate Vasco da Gama's voyage to India. This vast monastery complex is renowned for its elaborate sculptural details and historical significance, housing the tomb of Vasco da Gama and serving as a monument to Portugal's exploratory achievements.
