The most beautiful destinations in Lisbon for a weekend tour
Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon and should not be missed on a weekend vacation. Experience the special charm of the narrow streets, which seem to meander randomly through the neighborhood. Immerse yourself in the Portuguese way of life and try the typical sour cherry liqueur ginjinha in one of the many small restaurants or take streetcar 28, which connects Alfama with Graca and Baixa.
Baixa is in the heart of Lisbon and is characterized by sprawling plazas and impressive avenues. Especially tourists love Baixa and enjoy a coffee in one of the many restaurants with the best view. The open neoclassical style of the Marquis of Pombal permeates all of Baixa. Almost completely destroyed by a massive earthquake in 1755, Pombal completely reconstructed the district as it can be experienced today.

A short weekend offers enough time to visit the Castelo de São Jorge. The fortress complex with castle ruins is one of the most popular sights of the city.

Excavations show Phoenician, Roman and Moorish objects.

The Gothic style monastery is currently a World Heritage Site. The classic Gothic look was combined with some elements of the Renaissance and shows the very own style of the Portuguese Manueline.
