♦ Torre de Belem
Located right on the Tagus River, this beautiful structure is a must-see during any stop in Lisbon. A UNESCO World Heritage site, many consider this tower to be a symbol of Portugal. Its façade is reminiscent of numerous architectural styles and since it towers right over the water, it’s a great spot for some beautiful photo opportunities. There is also the option to tour the inside of the tower, though not much remains from its original operations.
♦ Alfama District
If you’re looking to step back in time during your visit to Lisbon, consider paying a visit to the Alfama District. This neighborhood is Lisbon’s equivalent to an “old town.” This neighborhood features cobblestone streets, age-old homes, and many historic landmarks. You can also catch a glimpse of parts of the walls that once surrounded this neighborhood. There is also plenty of opportunity to dine in a charming outdoor café when you visit the Alfama District. It’s a great starting point for anyone who has never visited Lisbon before.
♦ Lisbon Oceanarium
If you love viewing marine life, then you’ll want to save enough time to check out the Lisbon Oceanarium, as it is Europe’s largest indoor aquarium. Among the many animals you can visit with include penguins, sharks, octopus, jellyfish, and many species of plants. If you’re traveling with young kids, they’re certain to love the friendly sea otters!
