Tourist attractions to visit in Lisbon:
Discover the charm of Lisbon and its surroundings on a 2-day tour that combines history, culture, architecture and unique flavors. This experience takes you to explore the main sights of the Portuguese capital, from the typical neighborhoods and monuments of the Age of Discovery to the enchanting landscapes of the village of Sintra and the coastal charm of Cascais. Ideal for those who want to discover the best that Lisbon and its surroundings have to offer, in a complete and memorable itinerary.
The Jerónimos Monastery is a true “hymn” to the Manueline style, both for the presence of nautical and royal elements. In addition to the Manueline church, the Monastery still preserves many of the magnificent elements and rooms that contributed to its international fame, such as the 16th century Cloister.
Erected for the first time in 1940, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos was rebuilt in 1960 with a view to being part of the Portuguese World Exhibition. The Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries) stands alone and prominently on Lisbon’s waterfront and evokes Portugal’s overseas expansion, bringing together a glorious past that symbolizes the great work of Prince Henry the Navigator, the driving force behind the discoveries.
Sintra is a charming Portuguese town nestled in the hills of the Serra de Sintra. Hidden in its immense pine forest, you’ll discover palaces, extravagant villas and the ruins of a Moorish castle from the 10th century. This variety of fascinating historical buildings and stunning natural landscapes makes Sintra an exceptional tourist destination.
Situated by the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais had an important development in the 14th century, when it was a busy port of call for ships bound for Lisbon. The main focus is on gastronomy, especially fresh fish and seafood, which can be enjoyed in the many restaurants in the region.
