Arco da Rua Augusta, located on the north side of Commerce Square facing the Tagus River, is a magnificent triumphal arch at the entrance to Augusta Street. This gate was built to commemorate the restoration of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake and was completed in 1873. There is actually an observation deck here, but it is not well known, so it is a surprising hidden spot in Lisbon, with few people even during the day. As it is a new observation deck, there is an elevator. It has a relaxed atmosphere and you can get a panoramic view of Commerce Square, the bridge over the Tagus River, and the cityscape of Lisbon, so I recommend it. Please go and see it.

#JapanFlightEvent I liked Portugal so much that I traveled there twice. I lived in Porto for a month and had a long trip, and I also had a long trip to Lisbon for 9 nights and 10 days. I'll recommend some places to visit in Lisbon and nearby cities that I've been to while traveling😍 If you're planning a trip to Portugal, especially Lisbon, be sure to read this:) 📍Places to visit in Lisbon - Miradouro de Santa Catarina / An observatory overlooking the Tagus River. It's hip because there are a lot of young people. - Praça do Comércio / If you go to Lisbon, you must visit the wide Praça do Comércio. The Augusta Street Arch Arco da Rua Augusta is a really cool square! - Santa Justa Elevator Elevador de Santa Justa / You can see the whole city of Lisbon at a glance. (6 euros, pay on site) - Alface Hall Jazz Bar / If I had to name the best place in Lisbon, it would probably be this jazz bar.. I went there every day during my two trips. - R. Augusta Street / This is a street that leads to Plaza de la Comécio, and there are many shops, souvenir shops, and delicious cafes. - Café da Garagem / A cafe with a really great view. The price of coffee is good value for the great view. Coffee + nata (egg tart) = about 4 euros. - Restaurante Cabaças / If you go to Lisbon, you should go to Cabaças every day... It's a local Portuguese restaurant with delicious steak!! There might be a wait, so go quickly!! - Miradouro das Portas do Sol Viewpoint / An observation deck with a great view of the orange rooftops of Europe! The pictures are also really pretty:) - Eduardo VII Park / It's the largest park in Lisbon. It's great for a leisurely walk. Dogs run around and it's a really relaxing place. - Tram photo zone: Bica - Lg. Calhariz A place where you can capture the Bica Line funicular view beautifully. It's especially famous for the tram number 28 view. / Elevador da Glória A steep alley that goes up to the Alcantara observatory! It's short, but you can see the funiculars going up and crossing each other. - Belem District: If you want to learn about Lisbon's history, you absolutely must visit the Belem District..! Make sure to set aside a day to visit. ✔️Recommended places / Tower of Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoveries of Belém, Pastéis de Belém (egg tarts are delicious..) 📍Recommended places near Lisbon - Cascais / I visited this place because I wanted to visit a special resort other than the places that everyone visits. It's a 30-40 minute train ride from downtown Lisbon. It's such a beautiful resort that locals go swimming every weekend. There's also a place where you can wash up, so you can get a tan and swim on the beach :) ✔️Recommended places: Praia da Rainha Beach, Pedra da Nau Cliff - Cabo da Roca: The land's end village of the Eurasian continent, Cabo da Roca! It's a 50 minute bus ride from Sintra & Cascais, so it's a good place to visit when you're traveling to Sintra or Cascais. It's the westernmost part of the continent, so it feels mysterious. The sea is also really pretty, so visit it when you travel to Lisbon! Lisbon is recommended for a leisurely trip, staying for 3 nights and 4 days at the shortest, or 5 nights and 6 days at the longest. It is a hip city with a different charm from Porto. If you are planning your first trip to Lisbon, Portugal this year, save it and refer to it🫶🏽 #Overseas travel #European travel #Travel plan #Lisbon #Lisbon travel #Lisbon attractions #Portugal #Portugal travel #europetrip #portugal #lisbon #lisboa

#2024Travel Review Day2: (Alfama District) Brunch: Café da Garagem, a popular restaurant with a panoramic view > Grace Viewpoint > Feira da Ladra Women's Market > Walk down to Beco do Maldonado Street > Santa Lucia Viewpoint > Lisbon Cathedral > Conserveira de Lisboa, a century-old canned fish shop > Augusta Street Arch > Dinner: Uma Seafood Rice On the second day in Lisbon, we strolled through the winding alleys and explored the oldest and most charming Alfama district. We chose the popular restaurant with a panoramic view, Café da Garagem, as our first meal. We recommend that you arrive before the restaurant opens, otherwise you might encounter long queues. Fortunately, we sat on the "throne" by the window that day, enjoying delicious light meals while overlooking the iconic red-tiled roofs of Lisbon and the Tagus River - so beautiful! After lunch, we walked to the nearby Miradouro da Graça, which is a great place to enjoy a panoramic view of Lisbon. Next, we headed to the very interesting Feira da Ladra (Feira da Ladra) Market. This flea market is only open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The stalls are filled with antiques, handicrafts and second-hand groceries. It is a treasure hunting paradise full of surprises. If you’re keen on discovering unique finds, remember to plan your trip in advance and don’t miss this charming market! Walk down from the Women's Thieves Market to Beco do Maldonado Street. This hidden alley is covered with colorful graffiti and is perfect for walking and taking photos. Every corner can capture the unique beauty of Alfama. Next, we arrived at the famous #MiradourodeSantaLuzia, where the tiled murals and the vast views of the Tagus River are fascinating. Even though there are many tourists, it does not feel crowded or uncomfortable, but rather a lively atmosphere. Continue walking along the alley and you will arrive at #LisbonCathedral (Sé de Lisboa). This imposing Romanesque building is one of the oldest churches in Lisbon. The most classic scene in front of the church is to press the shutter while waiting for the tram to slowly pass by. Everyone must take a picture. After sightseeing, it’s time to get into shopping mode! The first place I recommend is Conserveira de Lisboa, a century-old store specializing in canned fish. The canned food here is not only fresh, but the packaging design is also retro and exquisite. It is definitely the best choice for gifts or as a travel souvenir. From there, it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the lively city centre. At dusk, the sunset glow over the #MainSquare (Praça do Comércio) and the #TagusRiver dyed the entire sky golden, which was particularly charming. Also, don’t forget to check out the Arco da Rua Augusta and the surrounding arcades. The final meal ended perfectly with Arroz de Marisco at Uma Restaurant. The risotto here is rich in ingredients and has a rich broth. You can taste the freshness of the seafood in every bite. The portion is huge and you will definitely feel full. If you love seafood, this is the place to go! #LisbonLandmarks #LisbonTravel #LisbonAttractions

Located in the Commercial Square, the Arc de Triomphe on Augusta Street is the great triumphal arch of Lisbon and the gateway to the city of Lisbon. This exquisite arch on the Plaza Comercio in the center of Lisbon bears witness to the city's rich history. Its unique design and exquisite masonry craftsmanship make this building a symbol of Portuguese culture and history. Plaza Comercio is a historic public space in the heart of Lisbon, surrounded on three sides by the Ayuntamiento, a majestic building. It is highly recommended to walk from the starting point of Tram 28 to the *** station along the tram line. You will pass most of Lisbon's attractions along the way. The walking time is about 4 hours, and it is very pleasant to walk and stop.

Lisbon you have my heart 💛 I can't imagine a more beautiful and charming European city! If you're hunting for a city full to the brim with delicious, Michelin restaurants, Lisbon can't be missed!

The Arc de Triomphe on Augusta Street is a stone historical building and tourist attraction in Lisbon, Portugal. It is located in the commercial plaza to commemorate the post-disaster reconstruction of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.  Originally designed as a clock tower, the building has six columns 11 meters high and is decorated with statues of various historical figures. In the middle is the Portuguese national emblem. But after more than a century of delay, it eventually became a carved arch. The top group image was created by the French sculptor Celestan Anatoly Calmels. Since the top mouth is up to 30 meters, the characters on it must be huge.  The woman in the middle is 7 meters high, representing glory, standing on the throne of the third floor, holding two crowns, crowning virtue and genius on either side. There are four statues on the top of the column, the two on the right represent Nuno Alvarez Pereira and the Marquis of Pombal. On the left are Da Gama and Veriato. Two reclining figures symbolize the Tejo River and the Douro River.

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city where houses are perched on hills along the coastline. Historically, Lisbon has been under the rule of the Greeks, Romans, and Moors from Africa. European warriors also fought to reclaim the land, resulting in a blend of cultures, races, and religions. This fusion has shaped Lisbon into a political, economic, and cultural hub of Portugal. Getting around the city Walking is the main mode of transportation, but you can also purchase a one-day pass for public transport, trams, and trains, or opt for the Lisbon Card. Tourist attractions Jerónimo Monastery, Padrao dos Descobrimentos, Belem Tower, Arco da Rua Augusta, Praca do Comercio. Savor the famous egg tarts, pasteis de Belem, at the renowned bakery.

From Spain 🇪🇸 Gijón to Portugal 🇵🇹 Lisbon, the two-country trip is dreamlike. The statues and fountains of Gijon ⛲ are more calm in the rain, the stone walls of the ancient city 🏰 tell the story of the history of northern Spain; the beach 🏖 and the harbor ⛵ are quietly intertwined, and the old houses with red roofs come into view, as if walking into an oil painting. Lisbon is another style: the Arc de Triomphe 🕍 in the commercial square shines with golden light in the sun ✨, red and white buildings 🏘 intertwined with hills, retro trams 🚋 and street art 🎨 collide with lively colors. View the Christ Statue✝️ and the April 25th Bridge🌉 on the banks of the Tejo River in Spain, and feel the aftertaste of the Age of Discovery. Spain is serene as poetry and Portugal is hot as song, and the intertwining of the two is the whole romance of travel.

Lisbon is one of the most charming cities in Europe, a city that retains the charm of the Age of Discovery. It attracts tourists with its warm climate, charming street scenes and rich history and culture. Local prices are cheaper than other capitals in Western Europe, and restaurants, food and transportation are all very affordable. The most memorable thing is the Portuguese egg tart, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and rich. Almost every store has a different flavor, so you will never get tired of it. Taking the old tram through the retro alleys is a leisurely and relaxing experience, making it a great value for money travel choice. #Lisbon Egg Tart #Lisbon #Portuguese Castle #Portugal #Maritime Relics

I went to Praca do Comércio and Arco da Rua Augusta. They are both symbols of tourism in Lisbon, but they are both close to each other. The Augustan Gate is quite large, and I recommend taking a walk from here to the famous Rua Agusta. Of course, it is located at the mouth of the Tagus River, so I also recommend taking a walk along the river. It is always crowded with tourists. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uyEK4kaWrFhSJ9GA7 #0yentravelFebruary2025#Lisbon #Portugal

Lisbon is a sunlit symphony of color, love, charm, and history. Its 7 golden hills are crowned with terracotta rooftops, while cobbled streets hum with the rhythm of Fado.

Flew from Toronto to Lisbon, Portugal on June 18th, arriving at 9:30 in the morning, and immediately went to explore Lisbon. Took the metro to Cais do Sodre, and right out of the subway 🚇 is the bay, from where you can see the 25th of April Bridge connecting the north and south banks of the Tagus River in the distance. Walking along the sea wall, there are people sitting on the coast enjoying the gentle sea breeze and the sun, and there are artists' works on the beach, embellishing the coastline. Then I arrived at the Freedom Square, where there is a statue in the center, and behind it is the triumphal arch. This beautiful monument has six columns, decorated with statues of various historical figures. It stands tall on the Commerce Square, symbolizing the city's resilience and paying tribute to the reconstruction of Lisbon after the earthquake in 1755. Passing through the triumphal arch is the Augusta pedestrian commercial street, with its unique blocks filled with modern cafes, restaurants, and street art, blending the modern and traditional flavors of Lisbon. I bought two Portuguese egg tarts and a cup of tea, sat down to taste them; the tart crust is crispy, and the egg is full, soft, and smooth. It's a bit sweet for me, but I think it's very good 👌. Walking to the end of the street is a square, where I encountered an elevator for sightseeing. Opposite the elevator is a MUJI store, and further on is the Liberty Avenue, a boulevard shaded by green trees, which is known as the Champs-Élysées of Lisbon.

#wheretogo The Arco da Rua Augusta, also known as the Triumphal Arch of Augusta Street, is an iconic historical monument located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal. This neoclassical arch was constructed to commemorate the city's reconstruction after the devastating 1755 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Designed by architect Santos de Carvalho, it was completed in 1875. The arch stands at the northern end of Rua Augusta, one of Lisbon's main pedestrian streets, and serves as a symbolic gateway to the bustling Baixa district. The structure is adorned with intricate sculptures and decorative elements that reflect Portugal's rich history and maritime heritage. It features allegorical figures representing Glory, Ingenuity, Valor, and Abundance. Visitors can ascend to the top of the arch to enjoy panoramic views of Lisbon. The Arco da Rua Augusta remains a beloved symbol of Lisbon, welcoming tourists and locals alike, and offering a glimpse into the city's past and cultural significance.

If you want to climb the Arc de Triomphe, you can queue up in advance to buy tickets/ I think it is very cost-effective to buy the Lisbon city card. You can get your money back by visiting more attractions, and transportation is unlimited.
