General presentation
Lisbonne
Atlantic capital of hills, azulejos, miradouros, tramways, historic districts and shores of the Tagus.
The discovery of Lisbon revolves around Alfama, Belém and Baixa. The stay thus alternates between the big city, urban life, riverscapes and heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: numerous slopes and strong tributary. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Alfama
Alfama is imposing by its sloping alleys, its nearby walls and the continuity of daily gestures that make the neighborhood hold. The sounds and narrow passages create an atmosphere that is better understood by taking the time to cross some secondary crossings. The site exhibits Lisbon as an experience of textures, rhythms and neighbourhoods.
Place
Belém
In Belém, river views, historical facades and walking spaces offer a rich reading of the city from the old port area. Old materials meet current uses, giving weight to each transition. One hour is enough to feel how the neighborhood articulates memory and present.
Place
Baixa
Baixa deploys Lisbon in clear lines, with its straight streets, large squares and theatrical arrival on the Tagus at the Praça do Comércio. Between pombal, black and white pavements and nearby tramways, the area gives a very legible entrance into the historic centre.
