Sé de Lisboa
Discover the Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa), the city’s oldest and most iconic monument, built in 1147 after the Christian reconquest of Lisbon.

A must-see stop on any Lisbon historical tour.
Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
Head up to Senhora do Monte Viewpoint (Miradouro da Senhora do Monte), one of Lisbon’s most breathtaking panoramic spots. From this peaceful hilltop, enjoy unforgettable views over the city’s historic rooftops and the Tejo River estuary. It’s the perfect place to capture stunning photos and take in the true essence of Lisbon from above.
Ponte 25 de Abril
Cross the iconic 25th of April Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril), Lisbon’s striking suspension bridge often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate. Spanning the Tejo River, it connects the north and south sides of Lisbon, offering spectacular city and river views. Originally inaugurated in 1966, it was renamed after Portugal’s April 25th Revolution of 1974, marking the end of the Salazar dictatorship and the beginning of a new democratic era.
Cristo Rei
Cross the impressive 25th of April Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril) to reach the Christ the King Statue (Cristo Rei) one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1934, this majestic monument was inspired by the famous Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, following the visit of Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, to Brazil. From its base, enjoy panoramic views over Lisbon and the Tejo River that perfectly capture the city’s grandeur.
Belém
Explore the historic Belém District, Lisbon’s monumental quarter dedicated to Portugal’s great explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries. Discover the iconic Belém Tower (Torre de Belém), the symbol of Lisbon and a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos), a masterpiece of Manueline architecture. Don’t miss the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos), celebrating the Age of Exploration and Portugal’s maritime glory.
Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
Visit the majestic Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos), Portugal’s most visited monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Commissioned by King Manuel I as a tribute to the Portuguese explorers of the 15th century, it celebrates the nation’s Age of Discovery, including Vasco da Gama’s sea route to India in 1498. On this stop, you’ll explore the magnificent church where Vasco da Gama is buried, learning about Portugal’s maritime heritage and golden era of exploration. (Visit includes the church, not the interior of the monastery.)
Torre de Belém
Continue your journey through the Belém District to discover two of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks: the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) and the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos). Built between 1514 and 1520 on the north bank of the Tejo River, Belém Tower served as a fortress to protect Lisbon from attacks and as a ceremonial gateway for explorers. A masterpiece of Manueline architecture, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 a true symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discovery.

On this tour, you’ll enjoy a complimentary Pastel de Belém and discover the local ritual behind savoring this delicious treat, just like the Lisboetas do.
