Overview of Lisbon

Lisbon is a unique city! For such a small European capital, it seems to have no drawbacks and only charm.

You will start your fascinating journey from one of the viewpoints of Lisbon – Eduardo VII Park, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the historic center of Lisbon, which was rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1755 according to the design of the Marquis of Pombal.

Next, moving along Avenida da Liberdade, you will smoothly transition to Restauradores Square with its granite obelisk from 1886 in honor of gaining independence from the Spanish crown. And the culmination of the historic center will be Rossio Square with its bronze fountains and colorful flowerbeds, which has been considered the center of Lisbon for 6 centuries.

Then you will move to another time space, the 16th century – this is the Belém district, which is closely associated with the era of great geographical discoveries. The Jerónimos Monastery. A monastery that has no analogs in the world, where the Hieronymite monks baked monastery pastries that have brought fame to this day – “Pastel de Belém.”

And of course, you will visit the most photographed place in Lisbon, which is the symbol of the capital – the Belém Tower.
