Lisbon Highlights and Travel Tips

BAIXA AND PRAÇA DO COMERCIO
Praça do Comercio (Commerce Square), on the Tagus River, is the beginning of Lisbon's Baixa, or downtown district.

BAIRRO ALTO AND ELEVADOR DE SANTA JUSTA
The Bairro Alto (Upper Quarter) occupies the top of a steep hill just west of Lisbon's Baixa district.  This area functions as a residential, shopping, and entertainment district. 

ALFAMA AND CASTEL SÃO JORGE
The Alfama is the one district of Lisbon to survive the earthquake of 1755 relatively untouched.  This district still retains a Moorish flavor, and is topped by the Castel São Jorge (St. George's Castle).

TORRE DE BELÉM & MONOSTEIRO DOS JERONIMOS
This monument-packed neighborhood on the Tagus River, west of downtown, features a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

PARQUE DAS NAÇÕES
The Park of Nations was built for the 1998 World Expo in Lisbon, and features shops, restaurants, a riverside pedestrian area, and one of the world's largest aquariums, the Lisbon Oceanarium.
