Popular Attractions Included on the Lisboa Card

Torre de Belém (Belém Tower)

PLEASE NOTE BELEM TOWER IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC DUE TO RENOVATION WORKS STARTING IN APRIL 2025.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site is a historic fortress and one of the most famous landmarks in thecity and a very popular attraction. Built between 1514 and 1520, it was originally designed as a defence system due to it’s strategic location at the mouth of the Tagus River.

It also commemorates the ‘Age of Discoveries’, the important period when Portuguese explorers played a significant role in mapping the uncharted territories of the world.

The towers architectural style is called ‘Manueline’, which includes intricate decorations and often includes maritime elements such as ropes, knots, and crosses (which are present in Belém Tower).

Given its origins as a point of defence, the tower is a blend of a traditional medieval keep and a modern fortification and used clever artillery placement for its time. It also has a bastion with a hexagonal shape that juts out into the river to ensure it had a good vantage point, and a four-story tower to keep watch.

Its decorations include detailed carvings, armillary spheres, the cross of the Order of Christ, and even a rhinoceros sculpture, which is believed to be inspired by the arrival of an Indian rhinoceros in Lisbon!

As the tower sits along the waterfront, it offers great views of the Tagus River and the surrounding area, which is one of the reasons why its such a popular attraction.

‍

Jerónimos Monastery

Jerónimos Monastery is another UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous landmark in Lisbon and again a very popular attraction. The monastery was commissioned by King Manuel I in the early 1500’s and was built to expand the church ‘Church of Santa Maria’. It took almost a century to complete and was funded by taxes and money made from spice imports.

Like Belém Tower, the monastery is also closely linked to the 'Age of Discovery'. So much so, that its reported that the King gave the architect full freedom to come up with extravagant designs to show off the wealth. The church houses the tombs of several Portuguese royal figures and famous personalities, including Vasco da Gama and the poet Luís de Camões.

The monastery was originally occupied by the Order of Saint Jerome (Hieronymites), which is where the name comes from and it served as both a place of worship and a royal pantheon. The beautiful two-story cloisters are a highlight and offer a serene atmosphere with finely detailed arches and columns.

The monastery is also home to the ‘Maritime Museum’ and the ‘National Archaeology Museum’ which also provide further insights into Portugal's rich history and heritage.

The monastery is still incredibly important to the city, so much so that 'The Treaty of Lisbon' was signed in the monastery in 2007.

‍

Tram 28

Tram 28 is one of the city's most famous modes of transport and runs through some of Lisbon’s most historic and picturesque neighbourhoods. It connects Martim Moniz with Campo de Ourique, passing through Graça, Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela on the route. The journey passes by many of the city's landmarks and historical sites, including:

• ‍São Jorge Castle: Which offers beautiful views of the city.
• ‍Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa): One of the oldest churches in Lisbon.
• ‍Basilica da Estrela: A beautiful baroque church.

The tram line travels through narrow streets, steep hills, and sharp turns, which all add to the fun of the journey. Riding Tram 28 is not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about the cultural experience! The tram cars are vintage and date back to the 1930s. They are classic, yellow Remodelado trams, which have been carefully preserved and maintained, adding to the nostalgic charm of the ride. They've appeared in various films, travel documentaries, and photography, which also adds further to its status as a symbol of Lisbon! Its also just a fun way of getting around!

‍

Castelo de São Jorge

‘Castelo de São Jorge’, or St. George's Castle, is the historic castle in Lisbon. The site has been occupied since at least the 2nd century BC, initially by the Phoenicians and then by the Romans, Visigoths, and Moors. The current structure mostly dates back to the 10th century when the Moors fortified the site and built strong defensive walls and various towers, making it a key military stronghold for them.

The castle was captured by King Afonso I of Portugal during the Second Crusade in 1147, with the help of northern European crusaders. This was an important event in the timeline as it marked the beginning of Lisbon's transformation into a Christian city.

The castle then went on to serve as a royal palace until the early 16th century with many significant events in Portuguese history taking place there, including the crowning of kings.

Once the royal family moved out the castle fell into disrepair and it wasn’t until the 20th century that a major restoration was carried out and revived it to its former glory and turning it into the popular attraction that it is today!

Within the castle grounds there is also an archaeological site with remnants from the Iron Age, the Moorish period, and the medieval Christian period! The castle has a small museum showing some of the artefacts from the site.

The castle also features beautifully landscaped gardens and courtyards, offering panoramic views of Lisbon. The Ulysses Tower also has the famous ‘camera obscura’, which provides a 360-degree view of the city.

One of the main attractions of Castelo de São Jorge is the view it offers over Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the surrounding areas. Its especially popular at sunset for this reason.

‍

Elevador de Santa Justa

The Elevador de Santa Justa, also known as the Santa Justa Lift, is the historic elevator in the heart of Lisbon in the Baixa district and connects the lower streets of the Baixa area with the higher Carmo Square (Largo do Carmo). It was built to help residents navigate the steep incline between the Baixa and the Chiado neighbourhoods.

The lift was opened in 1902 and was designed by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, an engineer with a background in iron structures, who had been an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel (of the Eiffel Tower)! The elevator is 45 meters (about 147 feet) tall and was initially powered by steam but was converted to electricity in 1907.

At the top of the lift, there is a viewing platform that offers panoramic views including landmarks such as the Rossio Square, the Tagus River, and the Castle of São Jorge, which is another reason for its popularity today.

The lift is an important part of Lisbon's heritage and was declared a ‘National Monument’ in 2002 and remains one of the city's most recognizable and photographed landmarks!

‍

The Pilar 7 Experience

The Pilar 7 Bridge Experience allows you to explore the famous 25 de Abril Bridge from a new and exciting vantage point. Situated at the seventh pylon in the Alcântara district, the interactive and immersive experience blends historical insights, engineering creativity, and amazing views.

It starts in the ‘Workers' Room’, where a display surrounds you in the sights and sounds of the bridge's construction through a 360-degree video. Next, you’ll see a room dedicated to the colossal steel cables that support the bridge, providing an impressive sense of their immense scale and strength. One of the highlights is a room with a mirrored floor which creates an illusion of depth. A glass-walled elevator then takes you to the panoramic viewing platform which sits at 80 metres above ground and offers views of Lisbon and the Tagus River. The experience not only provides views but also deepens your appreciation of one of Lisbon's most significant landmarks.

‍

The Rua Augusta Arch Viewpoint (Arco da Rua Augusta)

The arch was built to symbolise the rebirth of the city after the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami that hit the city in 1755. The beautiful arch shows the city's strength and how it grew stronger. You can now climb to the top and enjoy the views it offers as well as getting closer to the huge sculptures that sit at the top and watch over the city.

‍

National Pantheon

The National Pantheon houses the tombs of some of Portugal’s most distinguished figures and is now a prominent monument and landmark in the Alfama district of the city. Originally constructed as the ‘Church of Santa Engrácia’ in the 17th century, the project began in 1681 but wasn't completed until 1966, so you could say it was a long time in the making!

The church was then converted into the ‘National Pantheon’ in 1916 and houses the tombs of Portuguese personalities including:

• Amália Rodrigues: A famous fado singer, often referred to as the "Queen of Fado."
• Humberto Delgado: A general and politician known for his opposition to the Salazar dictatorship.
• Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen: A renowned poet and writer.
• ‍Manuel de Arriaga: The first elected President of Portugal.
