What to see in Lisbon

Lisbon is a city of sea horizons, a living kaleidoscope of history and modernity on the banks of the Tagus River. Its streets keep the memory of the great discoveries of the XV-XVI centuries, and the character of the city combines the comfort of the old quarters, the brightness of cultural life and the lightness of the coastal atmosphere. It is pleasant to get lost in the maze of cobbled streets, admire the panoramas from the hills and feel the connection with the ocean in every corner.

Manufactures and facilities

The man-made sights of Lisbon amaze with diversity: the tower of Belém and the monastery of Jerónimos are masterpieces of the Renaissance and the era of great geographical discoveries; the monument to the Discoverers and the Belém Palace remind of sea routes and diplomatic history. In the center of the city are located Commerce Square, Rua Augushta street with live cafes and Rossio Square, and on the hill you can see the Castle of St. George and the Cathedral of Se. Modern architectural accents and museums are concentrated in the Park of Nations, and the stadiums of Estadio da Luz and Jose Alvalade attract sports fans. No less interesting are the flea market of Feira da Ladra, the monument to the Marquis de Pombal and the national palaces of Kelouch, Mafra and Ajuda.

Natural attractions and places

Natural corners and coastal spaces create a special charm: the Tagus embankment comes alive day and night, and from the city it is easy to go to the picturesque surroundings - Sintra with a Moorish fortress and majestic palaces, Cascais with beaches and promenades, or Berlengash Islands for lovers of sea grottos. The city’s parks, such as Edward VII and the Park of Nations, give green oases with panoramic views, and the Vasco da Gama Bridge, which stretches for almost 17.2 kilometers, and the hanging bridge on April 25 are impressive in scale and architecture.
