This strange church is the south end of the Largo da República do Brasil. Decorated in its exterior by a multitude of azulejos, it has the backdrop of the Tree tree Hills. A harmonious vision…

At the southern end of the city centre, the old castle is located on the former strategic medieval position called the Tagus Line. This fortified town, conquered in turn by the Romans, Barbarians, Moors and Christians, has remains from every era. Today it is in ruins, and you will only find part of the defensive wall, the Porta do Sol. From there, you will have a spectacular view of the Tagus and the valley from which it is difficult to take your eyes off.

This museum is housed in the former holiday home of Joaquin Manso, who was a writer-journalist and founder of the Diário de Lisboa. There is an ethnographic and archaeological collection that reflects the history and cultural identity of this maritime region, including some models of traditional costumes and ship models whose postcard representations have filled the purses of postal workers around the world.

You cannot leave Guimarães without going to the Penha hill. The road that leads to it crosses a thick, rich and varied forest; at every moment, at every turn, you will want to stop and walk there. On the way down, panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. It would also be a shame not to spend a night at the pensão da Penha or at the campsite, so that you can explore this magnificent natural site. You can also play minigolf there. It is possible to hike through the forest, ask at the tourist office.

This company, located in Odivelas, offers mini cruises in sailing boats on the Tagus river, sailing courses and rental (quotation on request).

Perhaps the most original personalized tour of the city! Take a ride in a 1940s sidecar on your way to an unknown Lisbon. If you ask for more, you can also visit the picturesque surroundings (Sintra, Cascais...) and even beyond (Fatima, Evora, Obidos). Thanks to these different tours (Lisbon and the Tagus, Lisbon by night, sea and mountains, west coast...), half-day or full-day, you will sneak into the local atmosphere in a new and unforgettable way, guided by the information your guide will give you.

It, which presents itself as an agency for travel tourism, organizes séjours or weekends, orientation, safari-photo, walk, climbing, horse riding, canyoning, canoeing, mountain biking…

This watchtower is one of the most hidden in the city of Lisbon, many people don't know it exists. Will you manage to discover it in the heart of Alfama? It is in fact the forecourt of a wisely placed church. Full of charm, it offers as a reward a unique view of the Alfama (far from the mass of tourists) and a totally unexpected side! In the summer and especially during the Santos festivities, you can find people having a good barbecue. So, to your plans, let the treasure hunt begin!

Almost one kilometre long, it is a long park of 15 ha dotted with magnificent trees, unfortunately surrounded by the two main roads leading into and out of the city. The northern part has a small lake on which you can canoe from 10am to 7pm on sunny days. In a small hut at the corner of the large esplanade leading to the university, you can also rent bicycles. There is also a small bistro above the lake where it is nice to stroll and sports facilities. Go there on weekends instead.
