Greater Lisbon Must-Sees

Greater Lisbon encompasses UNESCO-listed Manueline masterpieces like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower alongside the romanticist hilltop palaces of Sintra. The region’s history spans from the Moorish fortifications of São Jorge Castle and the Romanesque Lisbon Cathedral to the 18th-century Baroque grandeur of Mafra National Palace. Modern landmarks include the 25 de Abril suspension bridge and the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum’s extensive private art collection. At Cabo da Roca, rugged cliffs mark the westernmost point of continental Europe.
