WANDERING WHEATLEYS
The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is the best place in Lisbon to watch sunset! The views of the city are incredible and it’s always a lively scene, with drink vendors and occasional local live music.
You’ll see beautiful blue and green tilework (known locally as “Azulejo“) all over the city of Lisbon – covering old buildings and decorating walls with artistic masterpieces.
If you really want to see the best tilework that the city of Lisbon has to offer, then you must check out the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, also known as the National Tile Museum.
The Belém Tower is located about a 20-minute drive west of downtown and is an activity that you absolutely shouldn’t miss during your visit!
The Jeronimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos), along with the Belém Tower, are the two most visited sites in Lisbon.
As you walk from the Belém Tower to the monastery along the river, you’ll see the 170-foot tall Padrão dos Descobrimentos Monument rising from the banks.
