Lisbon is known as the city of seven hills, and because of this arrangement, is full of belvederes with fantastic views.

The Panteão Nacional is located in the parish of São Vicente de Fora, at Santa Engrácia Church. The present building is in the place where a church had already been erected in 1568, by order of the Infanta D. Maria, daughter of D. Manuel I, on the occasion of the creation of the old parish of Santa Engrácia. Among the illustrious personages buried there, we find Amália Rodrigues, Marechal Humberto Delgado, the remains of writers Aquilino Ribeiro, João de Deus, Almeida Garrett, Guerra Junqueiro and the Presidents of the Portuguese Republic Manuel de Arriaga, Teófilo Braga, Sidónio Pais and Óscar Carmona are also buried there.

Alfama (Pass By)
a genuine walk through Lisbon Alfama is one of the most genuine districts of Lisbon, its architecture presents peculiar characteristics of old and colorful buildings that give it a character of joy and tranquility. Strolling through the Alfama district is an invitation to get lost in extremely charming alleys. Easy to get lost in, even easier to find! Alfama is one of the oldest districts of Lisbon and was founded by the Arabs who gave it the name "Al-hama", which means "source of warm waters, good waters". One does not live a genuine experience in Lisbon without getting lost among the alleys and charms of the neighborhood that is considered the heart of the city. As you walk along the narrow, narrow streets of Alfama, you will feel in a small village and witness conversations between neighbors, listen to the fado that echoes down the stairs and still see the Tagus in another dimension.
Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara
by a belvedere that is surrounded by peculiar details of Lisbon. Whether on a day or night tour, have a few hours to enjoy the most beautiful views of the city of Lisbon at the viewpoint of São Pedro de Alcântara. Being there is a perfect invitation to enjoy a geometric garden composed of statues of heroes and gods of Greco-Roman mythology, like Minerva and Ulysses; and also the most privileged and complete panoramic view of the Castle of São Jorge and its walls, the district of Alfama and Baixa. If you are a detail by nature, take advantage of the viewpoint telescope and enjoy the smallest details of the view, such as the Tagus River and the several new areas of Lisbon such as wide avenues, modern and old buildings with its most varied types of peculiar roofs, the Cathedral Cathedral, among other peculiarities. If you sigh for the details of Lisbon through the belvedere, you lose yourself in the midst of so many peculiarities, take a peek at the tile panel with the map of the city represented, which is next to the telescope. This panel of tiles was executed by Fred Kradolfer in 1952 and is there to facilitate orientation, much like a map of Lisbon. Perfect, is not it? The viewpoint of São Pedro de Alcântara is not only pleasant to rest under the trees that compose it, sitting in one of the many comfortable benches. It is also one of the most common places for evening gatherings, especially before heading to the famous nightlife of the Alto district.

Basilica da Estrela
It is one of the most brilliant achievements of the late Baroque, with the inclusion of elements already neoclassical. The Estrela Basilica is the very pantheon of D. Maria I, the only queen of the Bragança dynasty who is not buried in the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora.

Torre de Belem
Strategically built on the north bank of the river Tagus, between 1514 and 1520, to defend the bar of Lisbon, it is one of the jewels of the architecture of the reign of King Manuel I.In the architectural ensemble we can separate two distinct bodies, models of military architecture: the medieval keep and the modern bulwark which, with two levels for artillery firing, allowed a farther, sweeping and rebounding shot over water.The Torre de Belém is a cultural landmark, a symbol of the specificity of the country that passes through the privileged dialogue with other cultures and civilizations. Guardian of our individuality and universality, he saw this status confirmed when, in 1983, it was classified by UNESCO as "Cultural Heritage of All Humanity".

Mosteiro dos Jeronimos
The Jerónimos Monastery was declared a National Monument in 1907, and in 1983, UNESCO classified it as "Cultural Heritage of All Humanity".Near the place where the Infante D. Henrique, in the middle of the century. XV, ordered to build a church on the invocation of St. Mary of Bethlehem, King D. Manuel I wanted to build a great monastery. In order to perpetuate the memory of the Infante, for his great devotion to Our Lady and his belief in St. Jerome, D. Manuel I decided to found in 1496 the Monastery of St. Maria de Belém, near the city of Lisbon, near the Tagus River. Donated to the monks of the Order of St. Jerome, it is now commonly known as the Jerónimos Monastery.The Monastery is a cultural landmark that has not escaped even artists, chroniclers or travelers during its five centuries of existence. It was the reception and burial of kings, later poets. Today it is admired by each of us, not only as a remarkable piece of architecture but as an integral part of our culture and identity.

Padrao dos Descobrimentos
The Monument of the Discoveries was first built for the Portuguese World Exhibition.The option to build the Portuguese World Exhibition in Belém was intended to privilege Portugal's symbolic relationship with the Tagus River, and more specifically with the place, from where and from the fourteenth century, the boats set out to explore seas and unknown lands. The Jeronimos Monastery is used as a backdrop, extending the exhibition space from the Afonso de Albuquerque Square to the Belém Tower.
