• Alfama - With origins over a thousand years ago, this area reflects the era when Portugal was under Moorish rule, with Muslims from North Africa governing for about 500 years. It also marks the pivotal moment when Christian forces reclaimed the land in the early 12th century, leading to the foundation of Portugal. Enjoy a walk and take in the scenery.

• Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - Construction of the Jeronimos Monastery began in 1501 and took nearly a century to complete. It is a remarkable example of Portuguese late Gothic, or Manueline architecture. As a symbol of the Portuguese discoveries of the 16th century, particularly Vasco da Gama’s arrival in India, it served as a prayer site and departure point for incredible Atlantic adventures. Visit the church (not the monastery) and take photos while the guide provides historical context.

• Torre de Belem - The Belém Tower is a key symbol of the 15th and 16th-century discoveries in Europe.

Pause for photos before heading back to central Lisbon.
• Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) - The Rua Augusta Arch is a historical, arch-like monument at Praça do Comércio, symbolizing a gateway to Lisbon and commemorating the city’s reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. This site has witnessed several significant historical events. Stop for a brief overview before proceeding to the final stop.
• Cidade Baixa - Baixa de Lisboa, or downtown Lisbon, is the city’s elegant and vibrant core, rebuilt in a striking neoclassical style after the 1755 earthquake.
