Top Attractions in Lisbon

See how it all began in Alfama

Alfama, one of the oldest, most traditional neighbourhoods in Lisbon, is situated on an intense incline that rewards those who persevere with magnificent views over the city from São Jorge Castle, at the heart of the capital's origins.Explore the labyrinth of narrow streets, alleyways and courtyards underneath the criss-crossed clotheslines, whilst the Lisboêtas discuss the day from their balconies. In its celebrated birthplace, the haunting sounds of Fado will drift from the many bars and cafés, cheering you on your way.You could always take the tram to the top and stroll back down, which is just as enjoyable.
Impossible architecture at the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos

This highly ornate and perfectly preserved monastery, built in the 16th century for the Order of Saint Jerome, is the most elaborate in Portugal and a defining part of its identity. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, no expense was spared during construction.Pushing the architectural boundaries of the era, the two-storey cloisters and the high vaulted ceilings will leave your head spinning. Take a guided tour to discover the intricate carvings hidden among the façades depicting saints and Lisbon's seafaring past, or simply take a moment of quiet reflection in its surrounding gardens overlooking the river.
Museu Nacional do Azulejo, a museum like no other

Lisbon's National Tile Museum is unique in both its collection and its home, and a must-see when visiting Portugal's capital. This former convent, in its baroque style, is an elaborate example of art and architecture in itself. Originally established as an extension to the National Museum of Ancient Art, it's now dedicated to the preservation and presentation of Portuguese culture's distinguishing form of artistic expression.See the stylistic changes across the centuries depicted in the intricate tiles and witness a panoramic view of Lisbon before the famous earthquake in classic white and blue tiles.
Absorb the sights and sounds in Bairro Alto

In one of Lisbon's traditional quarters, the quiet and peaceful daytime atmosphere of Bairro Alto suddenly comes alive as dusk falls.Just a short walk from the city centre, take a step back in time and immerse yourself in a vibrant maze of narrow streets covered in vivid art. By day, you can visit the bohemian shops and even learn a traditional craft. By night you can try traditional Portuguese dishes in local tascas, whilst enjoying every genre of music possible.Those who climb to its heights are rewarded by the spectacular panorama from Miradouro São Pedro de Alcântara's terrace.
