1. Jeronimos Monastery Cost: €12 for adults, free for children under 12, €6 for seniors (65+), and €6 for students; or free with the Lisboa Card. Highlights: Jeronimos Monastery, also known as Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, is a stunning example of Manueline architecture, a Portuguese style that combines Gothic and Renaissance elements with maritime motifs. Commissioned by King Manuel I in the early 16th century, the monastery was built to commemorate Vasco da Gama's successful voyage to India and to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for his safe return. The monastery's architecture is simply spectacular. The intricate stone carvings adorning the façade showcase the wealth and artistry of Portugal's Age of Discovery. Detailed motifs, such as twisted ropes, sea creatures, and botanical elements, reflect the country's seafaring history and the natural world. And inside, visitors can marvel at the beautiful cloisters, considered some of the most magnificent in the world. Tips: - With so much to see, make sure to plan to spend at least a couple of hours exploring the monastery and its grounds. - After your visit, take some time to check out from Pastéis de Belém, which has been serving their famous custard tarts since 1837. It's just a short walk from the monastery and is a must-try treat while in Lisbon. Best Time to Go: The lines can get very long, so make sure to get there right when they open at 9:30 am. 2. Miradouro de Santa Luzia Cost: Free Highlights: This miradouro (viewpoint) offers one of the best views in Lisbon, as it provides a panoramic look at the Alfama district and the Tagus River. The tiled mosaics and beautiful gardens add to its charm, making it the perfect spot to catch a sunset. Best Time to Go: We recommend going at sunset. The views at sunset are especially breathtaking at that time and the lighting is perfect for photos. 3. Carmo Convent Cost: €7 for adults, €5 for children, students, & seniors. Highlights: The Carmo Convent, a stunning example of Gothic architecture, stands as a significant reminder of Lisbon's past. Partially destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1755, the convent's roofless nave creates a beautiful open-air space. Today, it houses the Carmo Archaeological Museum, where visitors can explore a fascinating collection of artifacts, including prehistoric relics, medieval tombs, and ancient sculptures. Best Time to Go: The Carmo Convent tends to get crowded in the afternoon, so we recommend getting there when it opens at 10 am. 4. Praça do Comércio Cost: Free Highlights: One of the largest squares in Europe, Praça do Comércio is bordered by impressive yellow buildings and the Tagus River. It's a vibrant hub of activity with restaurants, cafes, and the iconic Rua Augusta Arch. Best Times to Go: We recommend going in the early evening to catch the sunset. The square is also beautifully lit at night, perfect for a leisurely stroll after dinner. 5. Lisbon Cathedral Cost: €5 for adults, €3 for children Highlights: The oldest church in Lisbon, the Lisbon Cathedral features a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles. Highlights include the impressive rose window, the Gothic cloister, and the treasury with its collection of sacred art.
