thanks to the rehabilitation of an old tin and tungsten mine, which has existed for over 50 years, you can now visit the various mining galleries that burrow into the mountain, surrounded by mysteries and surprises, and return to the cultural mining past.

4. Centro Historico de Cascais

Cascais has for thousands of years be the place were first Romans settle perhaps running away from Lisbon. It was granted the state is a village centuries ago and it kept like that. Don’t miss the opportunity of walking on its narrow streets feeling the breeze of the sea at the Bay and it’s fantastic views. It’s definitely a romantic cozy place to be.
5. Miradouro de Santa Luzia

4.5 based on 1,603 reviews
Reviewed By AMsays - Thornhill, Canada
This Miradouro or viewpoint is on the Tram 28 line. It is an outstanding viewpoint into Alfama. From here you will see the bright red-roofed, tile paneled white houses and their courtyards. The church towers and domes gleam in a healthy spattering of green. Nearby is the Church of of Santa Luzia, Castello de Sao Jorge, the Romanesque cathedral and various other sites too numerous to mention. I was glad to be here, but if you venture to those sites you need to plan and get some directions as there is a labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways on your journey. All a little confusing

Reviewed By LimReviewer - New Delhi, India
This arch on this street was built to commemorate the rebuilding of the city that got destroyed due to 1755 natural disaster. The triumphal arch along with bright yellow walls are a pretty sight as you walk on this shopping street. A focal point of Lisbon - come here in the evening when it is filled with activities and shoppers and travellers.
9. Centro Historico de Sintra
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,027 reviews
Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada
My recommendation is to stay overnight in Sintra as there are too many castles and ruins and parcs to visit and with a day trip from Lisbon - as we did - there is not enough time. The architecture is magnificent and there are many small restaurants, however, very busy. Most likely, you may want to start your visit with a full circuit aboard the 434 bus taking you all the way to the Pena Palace, and start coming down, stopping at the Moorish ruins, then visit the palaces closer to the historical center. If you are staying the night, then you have the chance to enjoy a pleasant evening and the excellent Portuguese food on a terrace. You may want to jump on a bus to Cabo da Roca the next day or even spend some time on one of the beaches if you stay longer.
10. Aldeia do Talasnal
