Foz Palace

When you get to the southeast of the city, there will be a Parka dos Restauradores. This is the square that is surrounded by a lot of buildings. However, out of all of those buildings, the best one is the Foz Palace. This is the building that will take you to the 18th century days.

Here not only the exterior is remarkable, but the interior has stunning views as well. Do not miss the chance to visit the local shops here.

Sao Roque church

If you are up for some stunning views, then this is the best place for you. While the church looks okay from the outside, its real beauty lies on the inside. It is because this church has a stunning interior decoration. This decoration will make your jaw drop for sure.

One of the many reasons for this is that the interior takes you back to the 17th-century themes. An interesting thing about this church is that the main design of the church is “auditorium-church” which makes it unique from the inside.

Miraduro de Sao Pedro Alcantara 

While you are in Lisbon, there is no place better than this to start your trip. Well, this is because of the beauty of this point in the city. Additionally, there is a map of the city entirely made with tiles that can give you an overview of everything that you are going to see ahead.

Luis de Camoes square

Apart from all the squares in Lisbon, this holds a lot of historic value for the people of Lisbon. At the same time, this is one of the most attractive tourist attractions.

Under that statute, there are 8 smaller statues of the other popular personalities who historically link to the literature of this location.

Teatro São Carlos

This is an opera house that dates back to the late 18th century. The reason for the building of this opera house is that the older Tejo Opera House was got under destruction in the earthquake, so this was a replacement. Talking about the interior of the building, it has a sober façade. Well, the views of the building are exceptional from the inside and the outside as well.

Praca do comercio

This is going to be the part of your trip where you will be exploring the most. It is because here everything is present in the best manner. The veers, the architecture, the public, and most importantly the shops and the locals here.
