Fahren Sie mit einem der berühmtesten Aufzüge Lissabons. Seine einzigartige Konstruktion und der phänomenale Ausblick machen ihn zu einer der begehrtesten Attraktionen der Stadt. Der Santa Justa-Aufzug ist eines der berühmtesten historischen Monumente in der Innenstadt von Lissabon. Entworfen von Mesnier du Ponsard, hieß er ursprünglich Ascensor Ouro-Carmo. Er verbindet die Rua do Ouro mit dem Largo do Carmo in einem neugotischen Stil, der sich deutlich von den anderen Aufzügen der Stadt unterscheidet. Die eleganten, mit Messing verzierten Holzkabinen laden Sie auf eine Zeitreise ein, während Sie in die exklusivsten Viertel der Stadt auf- und abfahren. Oben auf dem Turm befindet sich einer der besten Aussichtspunkte der Stadt mit herrlichem Blick auf die Baixa, die Burg, den Tejo und die beeindruckenden Ruinen der Igreja do Convento do Carmo. Es lohnt sich, hinaufzusteigen und beim Anblick der Landschaft, die sich vor Ihren Augen ausbreitet, einen Schauer der Emotionen zu verspüren.

It was once one of the city's best-kept secrets, but it has been gradually discovered by tour guides and couples in love. It offers a panoramic view of Lisbon, which can also be seen from a small image of the Virgin Mary that gives the viewpoint its name. Behind the image is a small 18th-century chapel, which is almost always closed. An old legend says that pregnant women who sat in the stone chair inside would have easier childbirths. This is one of the highest points in the city, so several monuments can be seen, identified on a tile panel. The viewpoint is very popular at sunset, but during the day there are also those who spend hours in the shade of the olive trees, cypresses and stone pines. To get here, walk along Rua da Graça from Largo da Graça, and turn left onto Rua da Senhora do Monte.

This medieval neighborhood (which was once a Jewish quarter and a fishing community) is the oldest neighborhood in Europe, after El Pópulo in Cádiz. It is a small village or medina in the middle of the capital, and a relic from the times before the great earthquake of 1755. It escaped the catastrophe thanks to its solid foundations on the highest hill in the city, which extends to the Graça neighborhood. It is a neighborhood to get lost in alleys and squares, letting yourself be guided by your senses: seeing clotheslines on balconies and fantastic views of the Tagus River, smelling fish grilling on the corner, listening to the sounds of Fado from inside a typical restaurant, savoring traditional dishes and touching magnificent tile panels. This is the most picturesque neighborhood in Lisbon and the true soul of the city. Here life continues as it did centuries ago, but going down to the river you enter the 21st century again, with old warehouses now converted into some of the trendiest

Die Kathedrale von Lissabon befindet sich in der gleichnamigen Stadt in Portugal. Sie ist Sitz des Patriarchats von Lissabon und der Pfarrgemeinde der Kathedrale. Ihr Bau begann in der zweiten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts, nach der Eroberung der Stadt von den Mauren durch D. Afonso Henriques, und präsentiert heute eine Mischung verschiedener Baustile. Seit 1910 steht sie unter Denkmalschutz.

Die Kirche Santo António ist ein Gebäude in der Gemeinde Santa Maria Maior (Sé) in der portugiesischen Stadt Lissabon. Sie steht vermutlich an der Stelle des Geburtshauses des Heiligen Antonius, neben der alten Porta do Mar, die sich in der Mauer befand, die ins Innere des mittelalterlichen Lissabon führte, und gilt als sein Heiligtum. Daneben befindet sich ein kleines Museum, das ihm gewidmet ist.

The Baixa district of Lisbon was completely rebuilt in the 18th century after its destruction by the 1755 earthquake. It was the largest earthquake ever recorded in Europe, but it led to the first neoclassical urban planning and the first large-scale earthquake-resistant construction in the world. Streets were designed with very specific shapes and measurements, and named after the various trades and artisans of the time (shoemakers, gilders, saddlers, gold and silver workers). In the 20th century, many of the buildings were occupied by banks and offices, pushing residents to the Avenidas Novas (New Avenues), and eventually leaving several buildings abandoned. However, in recent years the neighborhood has been reborn as a commercial and tourist center. Many of the streets are pedestrianized, and they connect a series of monumental squares, from Rossio Square with its cafes to Commerce Square with its triumphal arch, to the elegant Municipal Square.

Praça do Comércio, zu Deutsch Handelsplatz, ist Lissabons Hauptplatz. Er wurde an der Stelle errichtet, an der sich einst der alte Königspalast befand, bevor dieser durch das Erdbeben von 1755 zerstört wurde. Das südliche Ende des Platzes ist offen und blickt auf den Tejo. Die anderen drei Seiten sind mit gelben Gebäuden und Arkaden entlang der Fassaden geschmückt. Als der Platz entstand, luden die Handelsschiffe ihre Waren direkt hier ab, da er als „Tor“ zu Lissabon galt.

The Lisbon version of the Parisian Champs-Elysées. It is a tree-lined avenue covered in Portuguese cobblestones between Restauradores and Marquês de Pombal squares, and is where the large luxury shops are located, starting on Rua Castilho to the north and then descending the avenue. This is also an area of theaters and beautiful old buildings, although many others were demolished for new constructions in the mid-20th century. However, some remarkable examples still survive, many of them winners of the Valmor Prize, with an impressive example at number 206-218 in Art Nouveau style, now housing a Prada store. Climbing the hill on the eastern side (with the help of the Lavra Elevator) you reach the old parish of Pena, a more typical neighborhood, where the famous fado singer Amália Rodrigues was born, and where you will find a little-known viewpoint, the Miradouro do Torel.

The National Sanctuary of Christ the King is situated at an altitude of 133 meters above the Tagus River. It consists of a portico designed by the architect António Lino, standing 75 meters high, topped by a 28-meter-high statue of the Holy Redeemer with open arms facing the city of Lisbon, a work by the Portuguese sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa. The pedestal, including the portico, rises to 82 meters in height. The sanctuary and monument to Christ the King is the biggest tourist attraction in the municipality of Almada. This monument offers the best viewpoint overlooking the city of Lisbon, providing a wide view of the capital and the 25th of April Bridge. Numerous tourist reports about Lisbon feature the sanctuary and monument to Christ the King, a landmark of Almada. It is one of the tallest buildings in Portugal, standing 110 meters high.

Visit only the Monastery Church. The extraordinary stonework in the cloisters of this monastery glorifies the times when the West and the East met, and the man who managed to bring these worlds closer together -- Vasco da Gama -- is buried inside the church.

A panoramic visit to the Monument to the Discoveries evokes the Portuguese overseas expansion, synthesizes a glorious past, and symbolizes the greatness of the work of Prince Henry the Navigator, the driving force behind the discoveries. A stylized caravel sets sail, carrying at its prow Prince Henry the Navigator and some of the protagonists (32) of the overseas exploits and the culture of the time: navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonizers, evangelizers, chroniclers, and artists, are portrayed with the symbols that individualize them. A stylized mast, oriented North-South, has on each face two Portuguese shields, with five quinas (five shields), surrounded by a band with 12 castles and in the center several fleurs-de-lis. Attached to the mast, on each face, are three curved triangular structures, giving the illusion of sails billowing in the wind.

Panoramic tour. Lisbon's landmark looks like a small castle straight out of a fairy tale. It's an architectural gem from the Age of Discoveries, now classified as a World Heritage Site.
