Lisbon is the capital and the largest city in Portugal. Like Rome, Lisbon is based on 7 hills: Sant'Ana, Santa Catarina, Castelo, Chagas, São Roque, São Vicente and Santo André. Its people, gastronomy, climate, typical neighborhoods and the constant presence of the Tagus River are some of its more desirable attributes.
You will visit the most important sights in Lisbon. Your Guide will make some stops with the vehicle inviting you to make short walking routes together, where you will stroll through the streets of some of the historic districts.
We invite you to join us in this experience of History, Light, Colors and Flavors as a Portuguese poet once wrote:
“We will now invite the tourist to come with us. We will serve as cicerone and we will stroll through the capital, showing him the monuments, the gardens, the most notable buildings, the museums - everything that is in any way worthy of being seen in this wonderful Lisbon.” Fernando Pessoa, Lisbon: What the Tourist Should See

Ahead of you is the beautiful Parque Eduardo VII, but the best is yet to come, look ahead and contemplate the imposing statue of Marques de Pombal, Liberdade Avenue and, further on, the Tagus River. On good days you can see on the other side of the river - on the south coast, the Arrabida Mountains.
It is also here that you can find the monument that pays tribute to the 25th of April, the Carnation Revolution - which took place on the 25th of April 1974 - and a huge national flag with 240 square meters hoisted 35-meter mast. 20 minutes
Praca Marques do Pombal, Lisbon, Portugal Located next to the Parque Eduardo VII and in front of Liberdade Avenue, Marquês de Pombal Square is one of the most notable and historic squares in Lisbon. As if it is the heart of Lisbon, this is where demonstrations against or in favor of the government converge and celebrations of great victories, whether in politics or sports, especially in football.
In the center of the square there is a monument built in honor of the politician Sebastião José de Carvalho Melo, the Marquês de Pombal, a statesman who had a fundamental role in the reconstruction of Lisbon after the Great Earthquake of 1755.
The statue is full of symbology such as the Lion that is next to the figure of Marquês de Pombal that represents strength, determination, and Royalty, the Minerva Statue that represents the remodeling of university education, the Bow of a Ship that represents the renovation of the Merchant Navy, the female figure looking at Liberdade Avenue that represents Reconstructed Lisbon. 5 minutes

Parque das Nacoes, Lisbon, Portugal Parque das Nações was the stage for the last great Exhibition of the 20th century - Expo'98, which took place in Lisbon from May 22 to September 30, 1998 subordinated to the theme “The Oceans, A Heritage for the Future”. During the 132 days, the event welcomed around 11 million visitors. Gil was the official mascot of Expo'98. Its name evokes a great Portuguese navigator who rounded the Cape Bojador in 1434, the navigator Gil Eanes.
The Expo'98 allowed a “new city” to be born - modern, dynamic and it kept some of the structures that were part created for this event, such as the Lisbon Oceanarium, the Vasco da Gama Center, the Lisbon International Fair and the Atlantic Pavilion. The Vasco da Gama Bridge was also built within the scope of Expo'98 as well as several gardens, a riverside promenade, a cable car and restaurants with a terrace overlooking the Tagus River. Time for lunch. 120 minutes

Padrao dos Descobrimentos, Lisbon, Portugal Visit to the Monument of the Discoveries
The Monument of the Discoveries is one of Lisbon's ex-libris. It was built for the first time in 1940 - provisionally, within the scope of the Portuguese World Exhibition. In 1960, on the occasion of the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator, the Monument of the Discoveries was rebuilt.
A stylized caravel seems to be setting out to sea, with Henry the Navigator in its prow. On the two lateral ramps ascending to the symbolic figure of the Prince are some of the major figures of the Portuguese overseas expansion and cultural names from the age of the Discoveries, 32 in total, all portrayed with symbols that allude to their identity: navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonizers, missionaries, chroniclers and artists. 20 minutes
Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, Lisbon, Portugal Visit to Jerónimos Monastery (Church)
In the place where the Jerónimos Monastery was built, in the age of the Discoveries, there was a small beach sheltered from strong winds and with good navigable conditions. This spot was called the Restelo beach and was the safest and most sought after point by the ships that entered and left Lisbon. It was here that King Dom Manuel I built the Jerónimos Monastery dedicated to the Virgin of Belém. The Monastery replaced a church that existed in the same place that was dedicated to Santa Maria de Belem.
Construction started on 1/6/1501 and was completed 100 years later. The expenses of this great project were paid with a tax created by the king that consisted of 5% of all the gold brought from Guinea as well as spices and precious stones coming from India.
The monks of the Order of São Jeronimo lived here until 1833. 20 minutes
