2. Belém Tower

Belém Tower is an impressive structure on the shore of the Tagus River in Lisbon. The ornate fortification was built here over 500 years ago to fight off any hostile craft that came up the river. Gaze straight across the river from the top of the Tower Terrace to see St. Sebastian’s Fort, another fortification on the opposite shore. With the two towers in place, enemy warships could not achieve success in attacking the city.

3. Commerce Square

Equally popular with locals and visitors to Lisbon, Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio) is the ideal place to meet up with friends or begin your day with a coffee. For centuries Commerce Square was the site of the royal palace until the building was badly damaged in the Great Earthquake of 1755. Remodelling saw the palace converted into an enormous stone monument that signified the entrance to the city. Visit the square to relax with a drink as you explore the central Baixa district of Lisbon.

4. Santa Justa Elevator

The Santa Justa Elevator connects the hilltop neighborhood Bairro Alto with downtown Baixa. The gothic, iron structure rises up from the neoclassical architecture of downtown. The elevator has been in operation since 1905 and was originally operated by a steam engine. Today it’s powered by an electric engine and is a great way to enjoy views over the city. Visit the elevator’s rooftop café.
