Sightseeing

Castelo de S. Jorge it's an unmissable place to get the feel of Lisbon history. If you have the time, walk your way up to the Castle, instead of taking a bus or the tram (walk slowly and it won't be very tiring). Follow the tram route and along the way stop at Sé Catedral (Lisbon's cathedral), Sta. Luzia's belvedere and Portas do Sol. Inside the Castle take a tour of the whole site, and visit the Permanent Exhibition and the Black Chamber to know more about Lisbon's rich and millennial history.

A magical place just 30 km from Lisbon, with plenty of interesting spots to visit. Get there by train from Rossio train station (30/40 minutes ride) and then walk to the village center and wander around the cobbled streets. Among many places worth a visit are Palácio da Pena, a prince's fantasy surrounded by a wonderful park, and esoterical Palácio da Regaleira. As these are very popular spots, try to go there on weekdays, if possible. To get information on local buses to move around, you may want to download the app "Scotturb Travel Guide".

"Principe Real" is actually a garden built around a 20-meter diameter cypress, but it is more talked about now as a trendy shopping area, filled with concept stores and restaurants. On your walk there you'll find São Pedro de Alcântara's belvedere, likely the most beautiful viewpoint over the city.

Terreiro do Paço sits right at the place where, hundred of years ago, merchants from all over the world disembarked their goods to be traded throughout Europe. Its unique setting, with one full side opening to the sea, still reminds of its time as the "Old World"'s entrance hall. Now it is a light-filled pedestrian square, hosting all kinds of amusements (even a disco club). From there you can walk on a sideway along the river stretching to Cais do Sodré.
