Castelo S. Jorge

Now we will arrive at the Castelo de São Jorge, where the History of the city began. This is one of the most visited monuments in the city, not only for its historical and cultural importance, but also for its magnificent views over Lisbon. We find pairs of sweethearts, children and young people, the elderly in conversation, families and tourists, in a friendly atmosphere that has been passed down from century to century.

Cathedral

As soon as the streets start to rise, we come across the most popular of Portuguese saints, Santo António (St Anthony), in a small restored statue on the church dedicated to the saint and in the Museu Antoniano. This popular saint is the inspiration for panegyrics on love. Next we find the Sé Catedral (13th century), a true monument, whose imposing presence and austerity ensure that we stop and enter it to discover its surprises.

The tram

The tram is one of the most famous and typical forms of transport in Lisbon. To travel by tram is to enter an imaginary but also traditional present. You can ride up to Alfama by tram, although a walk up the hill is also highly enjoyable. All the way from the Baixa to the top of the hill, you will find typical streets, alleys and extraordinary views.

Avenida da Liberdade

Above the Rossio, discover Avenida da Liberdade. A walk along what was, in the 19th century, the city’s “Public Walk”, where the élites met for their daily promenade. Today, the Avenida is full of expensive shops, for the most cosmopolitan and international shopping in the city.
