The Jerónimos Monastery is located in the Belém district. This grand white building is a prominent landmark of this port city. Together with the Church of the Knights of Santa Maria connected to it, it is the pinnacle of human medieval architecture. In 1983, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO together with the nearby Belém Tower. The navigator Vasco da Gama is also buried here. Glorious History The Jerónimos Monastery was built in 1501. It was presided over by King Manuel I to commemorate Vasco da Gama's significant voyage. It took nearly 100 years to build. The door wall connecting the church and the monastery is more than 100 meters long, almost occupying the entire street. This majestic momentum also highlights Portugal's unrivaled maritime dominance in the past.
Belém Tower

Berenta is one of Lisbon's must-see attractions, on the seaside of the Beren district. The fortification was built by Manuel I from 1514 to 1520 to commemorate Da Gama's arrival in India and later used as a customs, telegraph station and even lighthouse. The entire building of the Bellen Tower is arranged in an "L" style, with five floors, and the entire tower is made of white marble, a typical Manuel style building: the tower is surrounded by stone ropes, dotted with stone stones, crosses and stone carvings of plants and animals. Among them, the stone-carved rhino on the base is quite striking, built to highlight the achievements of Portuguese navigators exploring overseas. The Bellenta when the sun sets has a unique charm. It is also a pleasant enjoyment to take a walk in the harbor and blow the sea breeze.

Alfama es uno de los barrios más antiguos y pintorescos de Lisboa, Portugal. Conocido por sus calles estrechas y serpenteantes, casas con azulejos coloridos y vistas impresionantes, Alfama es un viaje atrás en el tiempo a una Lisboa antigua y auténtica.Alfama es el hogar de la música de fado, una forma tradicional de música portuguesa que expresa nostalgia y melancolía, y puedes escucharla en numerosos bares y restaurantes del barrio. Muchos de estos establecimientos ofrecen espectáculos de fado en vivo en las noches. Aquí de dejo uno muy recomendado para que disfrutes del auténtico Fado.El barrio está construido en la ladera que se extiende desde el Castillo de San Jorge hasta el río Tajo, lo que ofrece vistas panorámicas de la ciudad y el río. Hay varios miradores (o «miradouros») desde los que puedes disfrutar de estas vistas, incluyendo el Miradouro de Santa Luzia y el Miradouro das Portas do Sol.Alfama es también el hogar de varias iglesias históricas, incluyendo la Catedral de Lisboa (Sé de Lisboa) y la Iglesia de San Vicente de Fora.

Lisbon Oceanarium

Great choice for animals. I love it, with this beautiful description in English and in the story about the origin of the species. When you are diving, it is a great opportunity to show your children what the underwater world is like.

In the center of Sintra town, you can take a train from Lisbon. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Sintra Station to the Royal Palace. Walking through the old streets of the town, the scenery along the way is very good. The Royal Palace displays gorgeous decorations and some of the furniture of the time. Through visiting history.
Lisbon Cathedral

The oldest Catholic church in Lisbon, located in the middle of the Alfama district of the old town, is behind the site of a Roman theatre, which is being excavated and repaired. It is also well preserved after the Lisbon earthquake! The stained glass inside the church is beautiful!
