Tips / Destination

Lisbon is a picturesque European city, boasting stunning views, architecture and cultural attractions. On your next visit, be sure to add these photo-worthy spots to your list.

 

Bairro Alto

The trendy Bairro Alto neighborhood is home to many popular restaurants and bars. The steep, windy streets and tiled facades offer great Instagram opportunities.

 

Carmo Archaeological Museum

The 14th-century Carmo Convent was ruined in an earthquake and now houses a museum with religious relics. The open-air building is stunning from inside or off in the distance.

 

Castelo de São Jorge 

The Moorish castle is located on a hilltop overlooking Lisbon and the Tagus River. The structure of the castle itself is Instagram-worthy; however, the views are reason enough to visit.

 

Lisbon Tram 

Don’t leave the city without capturing a photo of one of the city’s iconic yellow trams. While Tram 28 may be the most recognizable, there are others throughout the city.

 

Pastéis de Belém 

This bakery, located in Lisbon’s Belém neighborhood, serves up the city’s classic pastry, pastel de nata. Snap an Insta before you finish eating the Portuguese egg tart.

 

Rua Norberto de Araújo

Located near the picturesque Portas do Sol waterfront is an archway on Rua Norberto de Araújo with artwork of the history of Lisbon. The cartoon-style paintings provide a great backdrop for a selfie.
