What to see in Lisbon
Lisbon is one of the few cities in the world blessed with such a unique natural setting. The presence of the Tagus River accompanies visitors throughout their stay, from exploring the riverside and harbour area to wandering through streets steeped in history, shaped by the people and significant events that have given the city its distinctive character. Beneath an almost permanently blue sky, Lisbon’s famous light bathes its streets, houses, windows and green spaces in a remarkable variety of shades and colours, making the city a favourite location for film productions and photo shoots.
Built across a series of hills, Lisbon offers numerous viewpoints located at its highest points, providing breathtaking panoramas. Highlights include the São Jorge Castle, from where visitors can admire the ferries crossing to the south bank, the 25 de Abril Bridge, Rossio, the Carmo Convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII Park and many other parts of the city. Alongside its historic centre and rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that continues to reinvent itself through new cultural and leisure experiences.
Historic centre
Just a few metres from the hotel, you will find the historic centre of Lisbon, also located next to the Tagus River. One of the best ways to discover the historic centre is to stroll through its streets with architectural designs from the time of Kings and Marquises. In the historic centre itself you will find famous streets and squares such as Rossio Square, the church of Santo Domingo, the viewpoint of the Arco de Rua Augusta or the emblematic Comercio Square.
Trade Square
The Praça do Comércio is made up of a group of buildings. Historically this was the place where merchant ships arrived, and the square was the gateway to Lisbon. Lisbon's imposing Praça do Comércio is one of the city's focal points and is the heart and soul of the city and a must-see during a trip to Lisbon.
Santa Justa Elevator
Going up the Santa Justa elevator is an experience not to be missed. At 45 metres high, the elevator connects Baixa with the Chiado district. Since its creation, it has been one of the most visited viewpoints as it offers magnificent views. The price of the elevator is €5.30 return with access to the viewpoint.
