Ride an elevator to the top of this imposing triumphal arch, which was built to celebrate the rebirth and rebuilding of Lisbon following the 1755 earthquake. 

Ride the elevator designed in the 19th century to connect the districts of hilltop Bairro Alto and downtown Baixa. Enjoy views from the café atop the gothic lift. 

Set amid the forests of the high Portuguese countryside, the crumbling ruins of this gray stone castle offer commanding views of the surrounding region. 

From royal tombs to azulejo tile panels depicting La Fontaine’s famous fables, this magnificent monastery is full of interesting details.
