🇵🇹 Lisbon Old Town One-Day City Walk Itinerary
Lisbon is a city perfect for city walks, despite its undulating slopes that can be quite tiring on the legs. However, this is also a unique feature of the city. As you stroll through the old town, you can see the city's worn charm, which does not detract from its appeal. The city exudes a relaxed atmosphere, and the streets are full of character.
During my day in Lisbon, the weather was unpredictable, with intermittent rain ☔️ and sunshine 🌞. Regardless of the conditions, every snapshot was picturesque. Here are some of the beautiful spots I captured:
Photo 2️⃣3️⃣: Bica Funicular, a hill-climbing tool that offers a stunning view of the sea at its highest point. I recommend taking a taxi directly to the top 📍Livraria Antiquaria do Calhariz to save some legwork‼️
Photo 4️⃣: The first intersection after climbing the Bica Funicular, where you can capture a side view of the funicular.
Photos 5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣: Starting from the Bica Funicular, follow the route of Tram 28 🚃 and walk along the undulating roads. Every shot is beautiful, although it was raining when we walked this stretch, and it would be even more stunning on a sunny day.
Photo 8️⃣: After walking through the narrow alleys, you'll arrive at a large intersection 📍Cc.Estrela Tram Station, where you can also capture the blue jacaranda trees. The sun suddenly came out when we reached this spot, after raining earlier 🌧️.
Photo 9️⃣: Located at 📍Rua de Sao Felix, this area is a quiet residential district with few people and beautiful scenery, including views of the sea.
Photo 10: Lisbon Cathedral, capturing the scene of a tram passing by.
Photos 11·12: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a free viewpoint where you can gaze at the red rooftops and the sea.
Photo 1️⃣: Taken on the way from Lisbon Cathedral to Miradouro de Santa Luzia, I loved this shot so much that I used it as the cover photo. It's a picture I think could be made into a fridge magnet‼️
Photos 13·14·15: Located at 📍Chafariz das Moiras, this spot is absolutely stunning‼️ There's a beautiful blue jacaranda tree 🌸.
Photos 16·17: São Jorge Castle, in my opinion, is the best viewpoint in Lisbon. It's situated at the highest point, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. Although there's an entrance fee, the view is indeed better than the free viewpoints, with fewer people. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset 🌇. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during our visit, with too many clouds and no sunset to see. There were also many peacocks 🦚 inside.

European religious architecture is always so attractive and fascinating to me. These churches and monasteries themselves are treasures, perfectly combining art, humanities and history. They always have endless stories to tell us. They just need us to calm down and listen silently to their stories to feel their stories, regardless of your origin and status.#outdooradventures #ancienttown #church

Lisbon Cathedral in the Heart of Lisbon! 🇵🇹✨
#wecreate
The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. Built in 1147, the cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles.
The cathedral hosts two parts to it. The museum, which is mostly upstairs and the main cathedral and chapels.
You could theoretically just visit the naos part of the church without paying anything however, we think there is quite a lot to see so definitely worth buying the tickets
