Things to do in Lisbon, Central Portugal: The Best Sights & Landmarks

April 26, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

Altice Arena

Reviewed By johnhO3638EN - London, United Kingdom

Visited the arena for the Eddie Vedder concert, was first amazed by how reasonable the prices were for a beer 3€ wow and a decent beer too, O2 London take note. The venue was very intimate feeling so was perfect for this gig, I had great seats and no issues finding them. Staff and security were all very polite and helpful too. Nicely done

Parque das Nacoes

Reviewed By docandmaria - Lisbon, Portugal

You will be pleasantly surprised at just how modern, clean and attractive this new city is. Originally built in 1998 for the Worlds Fair, it has grown into an extremely well designed example of urban development. Centrally located is the Train station, Gare de Oriente as well as the Vasco de Gama Shopping Center. Many sites and attractions, waterfront restaurants, Oceanarium, Science Museum, Casino, Ballet, Arena for concerts, beautiful architecture etc. etc. I always enjoy the gondola ride that takes you from the Myriad Hotel tower to just south of the Oceanarium, over 1k ride with lovely views of the park and the river. If you want to take a nice walk, you can do a 4k walk along the river with very nice photo ops of the bridge and surrounding sites.

Vasco da Gama Shopping Center

Reviewed By AndreL750 - Kuwait City, Kuwait

this is a really great mall in a trendy area full of life. the mall has lots of shopping choices. you'll find most of the popular brands, the food court is pretty big. however, I cannot believe how dirty it is. I could not find a clean place to sit. not just this place but generally in Portugal, people leave garbage behind like they don't care. really extremely filthy. one area had 3 tables together with 3 buckets of KFC and other stuff, it looked like a raiding party of hyenas had been there and tore everything apart, leaving half of it on the floor. Horrible! Who and why would anyone do such a thing? this is not a complaint againts this terrific mall, but a general observation of Portugal.

Estacao Gare do Oriente

Reviewed By TACOB0B

The 5 bubbles is for the architecture, not necessarily the train station. It's all lit up at night and the mall is right across the street although it has everything you would want.
