Castelo de S. Jorge (Pass by)

The Castelo de São Jorge is a prominent historical landmark perched atop Lisbon's highest hill, offering sweeping views of the city and the Tagus River.

Today, it serves as a museum and public space, where visitors can explore its storied ramparts, archaeological sites, and verdant gardens. The castle's rich history and panoramic vistas make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the historic heart of Lisbon.

Cidade Baixa

Baixa is the heart of Lisbon's downtown area, known for its orthogonal layout, neoclassical architecture, and bustling commercial streets. This district was completely rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marquis of Pombal. The Elevador de Santa Justa, located within Baixa, is a striking 19th-century lift that offers a unique blend of neo-Gothic design with modern engineering. This elevator not only provides a practical connection between Baixa and the higher Largo do Carmo but also offers visitors spectacular views of the cityscape from its viewing platform.
