There is a road to follow. A sensation on turning the corner. A heart
that beats in the cobblestones, in the waters of the rivers and the
sea, in the golden sands that stretch beyond the horizon, in the
unequalled white light that splashes against the buildings, in the
people that live here, in their life stories.
Unique and unforgettable experiences, for those who love the
countryside, for those that prefer the city, for those looking for
monuments, for those looking for nature, for those who travel with
all their senses open. A rich, diverse and inviting trail. Waiting for
you to discover it and pass this way.

Lisbon is like a patchwork quilt. A big city, stitched together
from assorted landscapes, architectures and lifestyles. And if a
city’s soul is to be found in its people and its places, it only makes
sense to start our trip at St. George’s Castle . This first Muslim
defensive building dates from the 10th and 11th Centuries. In
1147 the castle and the city were taken from the Moors by D.
Afonso Henriques the first King of Portugal.
and construction. One highlight is the amazing Santa Justa
Elevator , built by Mesnier du Ponsard, supposedly an apprentice
of Gustave Eiffel.
Ascending, you find yourself in Chiado , a cultural hub with a
sophisticated air where artists, intellectuals and poets meet and
mingle (there is a statue of the famous Fernando Pessoa at table
in front of “ A Brasileira ”), and next to this, Carmo . The square
here was an important arena for the revolution of the 25th of
April 1974, when soldiers and citizens surrounded the barracks.
Right next door are the ruins of the Carmo Convent , now the
Archaeological Museum .
Drop down to the Alfama , one of the most iconic of Lisbon’s
neighbourhoods. Here you will find the Fado Museum and
numerous fado houses and restaurants, where you can dine
while listening to this centuries-old national song, always
typical and always up to date.
Going on up, the walk takes you to the Bairro Alto , the Mecca
of the young and Lisbon’s nightlife. This is a place where the
old and the new, the traditional and the sophisticated live in
harmony. Grocer ’s shops, little eateries and fado houses rub
shoulders with bars, boutiques and designer stores, in a melting
pot of people and styles all of its own.
Beating a path into the heart of the city, you eventually come
to the Pombaline Down Town , built on the orders of the Marquis
do Pombal, Minister to D. José I, after the great earthquake
of the 1st of November 1755. Laid out in a grid of streets and
blocks and inspired by the Enlightenment, the rebuilding of
the Down Town was the first example of standardised planning

IT IS THE SEA
CALLING US
04
Departure point for other lands, Belém stands witness to ages old
inluences and trades that persist into the future. It is the river that
leads us to the sea. It is the sea that calls us. From here the caravels
departed en route to Eastern shores, with their scents of pepper and
safron.
But the meeting and exchanges between cultures and people are not
things of the past. They carry on happening and are brought
up-to-date, every day, in the daily life of the city and its artistic events,
like those taking place at the Belém Cultural Centre (CCB).
Our outing to Belém is halfway through. Take a break to enjoy one of
the greatest delights of Portuguese sweet-making – the famous Belém
Pastry, a centuries old recipe reproduced in the thousands every day.
It was the arrival in India that led to the construction of what is
probably the most emblematic monument of the era of the Discoveries
– the Jerónimos Monastery . Construction was started in 1501 on the
orders of D. Manuel I but only completed 100 years later. This ultimate
witness to the Portuguese-ness of the 16th Century boasts late Gothic
and Renaissance elements alongside regal, religious, naturalist and
nautical motifs. The result is unrivalled beauty and grandeur that
makes it worthy of its UNESCO classiication as a World Heritage Site.
Inside, the Church of St. Mary of Belém (Bethlehem) is a shrine in the
form of a magniicent three-nave temple. The height of the building,
with its elegant pillars rising to a beautiful ribbed vault, and the rays
of light that surreptitiously slip in through the stained glass windows
create a unique atmosphere, marked by the meeting of the human and
the spiritual. Here you can ind the tombs of the navigator Vasco da
Gama and the epic poet, bard of the Discoveries saga, Luís de Camões.
With your appetite appeased, carry on to the riverside. On the other
side of the railway line, lapped by the water, lies the Belém Tower , a
monument created in the 16th Century by Francisco Arruda which
marks the starting place of the saga; the ships departed from the small
beach here. Its architecture mixes Arab and Venetian inluences in its
verandas and galleries, organically and nautically decorated in the
hallmark of the Manueline style.
Next to the small Belém marina is the Monument to the Discoveries .
Erected in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of the
Infante D. Henrique, it pays homage to the main driving force behind
Portuguese maritime expansion and all those who helped to make it
possible.

PURE LEISURE
05
The East has given rise to a new Lisbon, with its modern infrastructures,
open horizons and an intimate relationship with the River Tejo.
Here there are huge themed exhibitions and a multimedia space with
a cybercafé.
Once an industrial zone, the Park of Nations was completely
renovated before Expo 98 was hosted here. Today, it is a new city
neighbourhood, with its own life and a unique ofering in terms of
culture, services, sport, entertainment and leisure.
You can get around this huge park by train or bus. On your route
you’ll ind a breezy architecture like the Portugal Pavilion designed
by Siza Vieira, with its imposing concrete canopy based on the idea of a
sheet of paper resting on two bricks. If you want, you can see the whole
area and its surroundings from on high by taking a trip on the cable car.
And, to see Lisbon from another perspective, you can also take a boat
trip down the Tejo.
The biggest attraction is the Lisbon Oceanarium . Designed by the
North-American architect Peter Chermayef, the building, built over
a dock and surrounded by water, shows of the natural wealth of the
lora and fauna of the Antarctic and tropical Indian Oceans as well as
of the rocky coasts of the Paciic and North Atlantic. The main draw is
the central tank, a magniicent 1,000m2 aquarium holding over 100
diferent species of ish from the four corners of the oceans, all living
peacefully together.
At the end of the afternoon, there is nothing better than a spot of
shopping in the Shopping Mall, or in the various stores scattered around
and about, and then dinner and entertainment in any of the restaurants
and bars in the area. Your night might inish of at the Casino Lisboa ,
with its non-stop shows and the chance to try your luck.
Leaving the oceans behind, you can continue your adventure in the
Pavilion of Knowledge , an interactive museum that teaches science
to both the young and the not so young in an accessible and fun way.
