- Miradouro da Graca (Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen) - Graça is characterized by its historic architecture, with old buildings and typical Portuguese tiles. The narrow, winding streets add a unique charm to the neighborhood, creating a warm and picturesque atmosphere. Tram 28 crosses Rua da Graça in both directions, offering the opportunity for exceptional photographs.
Graça neighborhood has always attracted street artists, but the year 2021 witnessed the explosion of this type of urban art.
American artist Shepard Fairey (Charleston, 1970) and Portuguese Vhils (Lisbon, 1987) are both world-renowned artists. A mural decorated by any of them would always be interesting, but what makes this work in Graça brilliant is the perfect combination of two such different styles. A case where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
- Mercado de Santa Clara - In Santa Clara there we have two of the iconic buildings of Lisbon, the Pantheon, and the St.Vincent monastery. On Thursdays and Saturdays, the flea market is the grand finale, but on all other days, there is no shortage of attractions in Campo Santa Clara.
Saint Vincent monastery is my top one recommendation in Lisbon. It offers a lot of interesting reasons to visit, such as the cloisters, the large collection of Baroque tiles, the Braganza family pantheon, the cardinals’ pantheon, the fables of La Fontaine presented in 18th century tiles and, the icing on the cake , the roof of the church that can be walked along the entire length and constitutes the best viewpoint of the old city.
- Miradouro de Santa Luzia - Santa Luzia viewpoint is the most Instagramable spot of Lisbon. Built on the old wall, offers a privileged view over Alfama, the oldest neighborhood of Lisbon, over the Tagus and the south bank.
The view from this viewpoint is exactly the same as the one you get from the nearby Portas do Sol viewpoint, but the place itself is much more pleasant, with the setting given by the bougainvillea and the live music.
- Alfama - No one can say they know the capital of Portugal without getting lost in Alfama, where Lisbon was born.
During the first millennium BC. the great civilizations of the Mediterranean established permanent occupation in Alfama as a support base for their navigations between the Mediterranean and northern Europe.
In century VIII, long after the departure of the Romans, the Moors (Islamic populations of North Africa) dominated the city but were not happy to live in a Roman city and built a madina in the image of the cities of Morocco.
During the 2nd Crusade (1147), knights from almost all of Europe, including French, German, Dutch, Italian, English and Scots carried out a siege that resulted in the fall of Lisbon to Christendom.
The area between churches of St Michael and St Stephan is the most picturesque in Alfama. The visitor who decides to join this tour in Alfama, in a safe and fun activity, will find an opportunity to take a picture in every alley and wherever they turn.
