(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)Pass-by Only
The Praça do Comércio, also known as Terreiro do Paço, is one of Lisbon’s most majestic and historically significant squares. Located along the northern bank of the Tagus River, it once served as the gateway to the city for ships arriving from around the world. The square was rebuilt in the 18th century after the devastating 1755 earthquake and became a symbol of Portugal’s resilience and maritime heritage. Surrounded by grand yellow Pombaline-style buildings and elegant arcades, it houses government offices, museums, cafés, and restaurants. At its center stands a statue of King José I on horseback, inaugurated in 1775. Facing the river is the iconic Arco da Rua Augusta, leading into the vibrant downtown district. With its stunning views, historical significance, and vibrant atmosphere, Praça do Comércio is not only a cultural landmark but also a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, often hosting events, concerts, and festivities.
Castelo De Sao JorgePass-by Only
Perched atop one of Lisbon’s seven hills, the Castle of São Jorge (Castelo de São Jorge) is a historic fortress offering sweeping views over the city and the Tagus River. Its origins date back to at least the 1st century BC, having served variously as a Roman outpost, a Visigothic fortification, and a Moorish citadel. The castle played a key role during the Christian reconquest in 1147 and became the royal palace for the Portuguese monarchy until the 16th century. Today, visitors can explore its towers, walls, and courtyards, as well as archaeological remains and a camera obscura offering a 360° view of Lisbon. Surrounded by tranquil gardens and resident peacocks, the site combines history, architecture, and natural beauty. It is not only one of Lisbon’s most iconic monuments but also a living testament to the city’s multicultural past and strategic importance throughout the centuries.
