This striking suspension bridge, opened in 1966, was originally named after dictator Salazar but was renamed following the 1974 Carnation Revolution. Reminiscent of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, it shares both its International Orange color and design inspiration, built by the same American company.
Overlooking the Tagus River, the grand Praça do Comércio—also known locally as Terreiro do Paço—is one of Lisbon’s most iconic squares. Rebuilt after the devastating 1755 earthquake, it became the centerpiece of the city’s Pombaline Downtown. Since the 19th century, it has housed several key Portuguese government departments.
Dominating one of Lisbon’s hills, São Jorge Castle has served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and archive over the centuries. At its base lies Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest quarter, which survived the 1755 earthquake largely intact. Nearby Mouraria, once home to Lisbon’s Muslim population after the Christian reconquest, is a vibrant neighborhood rich in history and tradition.
