• Alfama - Lisbon’s oldest district, dating back to the Moorish conquest (8th to 12th centuries), offers breathtaking views from the renowned “miradouros” of Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte. These spots provide stunning vistas of the Tagus River and the city of Lisbon. Visitors can wander through the narrow cobblestone streets, where traditional houses are adorned with beautiful tiles, a legacy of Arabian influence on the Iberian Peninsula. Alfama is also the birthplace of “Fado,” Portugal’s national music. Notable sites include the Lisbon Cathedral (built in 1448) and the Church of St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost causes and weddings, located on his birthplace.
• Baixa, Rossio & Restauradores - In 1755, Lisbon experienced Europe’s largest recorded earthquake. The Marquis of Pombal led the reconstruction of the city center, which was devastated by the disaster. This effort gave rise to “Baixa Pombalina,” the first modern European city, with its urban and geometric architectural design, serving as a model for other new cities, including Manhattan in New York and downtown Chicago. Visitors can explore the famous “Praça do Comércio” and “Rossio” squares, as well as Rua Augusta, Portugal’s most significant pedestrian street, known for its iconic Arch of Triumph.
• Parque Eduardo VII - Traveling through “Avenida da Liberdade,” Lisbon’s version of the Champs Elysees, visitors will find one of the world’s most beautiful avenues, renowned for its lush greenery and high-end national and international brand shops, perfect for luxurious shopping. The journey passes by Lisbon’s most impressive monument, honoring one of Portugal’s greatest national heroes, the Marquis de Pombal. At the top of “Parque Eduardo VII,” visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of the city and the splendid Tagus River.
• Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz - The Palace of Queluz, often referred to as the Versailles of Portugal, showcases three architectural styles: Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Classic. The palace features exquisite French gardens with fountains by English artists, statues by Italian artists, and a stunning canal (lake/pool) adorned with 18th-century tiles. It served as the official residence for several Portuguese kings.

Cascais is also internationally recognized for hosting major nautical events like the America’s Cup and Red Bull FlugTagg. The town attracts tourists from around the world, whether for visits or residency, making it one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities. Visitors have free time to explore Cascais’s streets.
