1
Avenida da Liberdade
The avenue was built between 1879 and 1886 in the image of the boulevards of Paris. Its creation was a milestone in the city's expansion to the north and quickly became a reference for the wealthier classes to locate their homes there.
Today, this avenue still contains very interesting buildings from an artistic and architectural point of view, especially from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
2
Parque Eduardo VII
Eduardo VII Park of England, formerly Parque da Liberdade, is the largest park in the center of Lisbon. Locally known only as Parque Eduardo VII, it was named in 1903 in honor of Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who had visited Lisbon the previous year to reaffirm the alliance between the two countries.

The Monument to the Discoveries is an imposing monument celebrating the Age of Portuguese Discoveries. Its stylized caravel shape pays homage to explorers and important figures from that historical period.
Located on the banks of the Tagus River, it stands out for its sculpture and viewpoint, which offers a magnificent view of the region. It is a symbolic representation of the spirit of discovery and conquest of new horizons.

MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
This stop-over is dedicated to the MAAT museum, a curvy, white-tiled building (which resembles a wave rising towards the river).
It is one of Lisbon’s modern icons. It’s worth a stop for the view from the top—you may walk around and even on top of this waterfront landmark.
