Both famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Belem Tower was built in the 16th century and was once used as a fortress to protect Lisbon’s harbour. You can climb the tower experience some mesmerising views of the Tagus River and the entire city. Also impressively constructed in the 16th century, the Jeronimos Monastery features intricate Gothic architecture and a rich cultural history, and is well worth a visit as you’re so nearby.
Take advantage of your serene location, enjoying a family picnic in one of the neighbourhood’s many parks, wandering through the tree-lined plazas, or taking a scenic riverside stroll. When you fancy a bite to eat, who doesn’t love a sweet treat? Lisbon is renowned for its delicious custard tarts. Get an authentic taste of Portuguese culture and cuisine at the Pastel de Belem.
You can use the convenient metro system to easily and affordably explore the city. It takes around 40 minutes to cross the city and visit some of its other most popular and lively neighbourhoods. You could visit Bairro Alto, a fantastic spot for young couples of friends wanting a taste of Lisbon’s bohemian scene. It’s particularly renowned for showcasing some of Lisbon’s finest street art. The historic downtown of Lisbon, Baixa is also certainly worth a visit. It boasts some stunning architecture and historical landmarks, including the Praça do Comércio. Surrounded by picturesque yellow buildings, and located near the Tagus River, this is the perfect place to enjoy a stroll along the riverbank.
Lisbon is a truly eclectic city with something on offer with every interest, budget, and age. Its historical charm emanates from its pretty cobbled streets and traditional architecture, which you can see in Alfama, the oldest neighbourhood in Lisbon. However, Lisbon is also a trailblazer of modernity, boasting many upmarket shopping centres, lively nightlife, and a delicious gastronomy scene. It’s particularly well known for its fresh seafood, grilled meats, and delicious pastries, however there also plenty of other choices for veggies too. Wine lovers are also in luck, as the most popular choices include the traditional Vinho Verde and Port wine.
While you’ll surely be spoilt for choice with the variety of activities and sightseeing that Lisbon has to offer, you could take a trip to the picturesque coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril if you fancy a day trip further afield. Known for their pretty beaches and charming villages, you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon here, basking in the sun with a good book. You really get the best of both worlds here; a bustling city experience, laced with a more relaxing and slow-paced seaside atmosphere.
