based on 2916 reviews"April 25 Bridge, across the Tru River, a landmark building in Lisbon, Portugal. Unnamed. When I first entered Lisbon, I passed a bridge and the tour guide said gently: On April 25, the bridge arrived... I was surprised to understand that in 1966, in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the rule of Prime Minister Salazar of Portugal, the bridge was built and named the Salazar Bridge; Portugal's "Lilac Revolution" on April 25, 1974, overthrows Salazar's dictatorship and establishes a democratic regime; in honor of this historical moment, the bridge was renamed "April 25 Bridge". The shape of the twin tower suspension bridge, the half-circle arc steel cable group, the orange bridge body... the same appearance, known as the sister bridge of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The road and railway are dual-use, the bridge spans 1012 meters, and the total length is 2,277 meters. It is both the main artery of north-south traffic in Lisbon, and it is like a rainbow across the Tejo River, which has become an iconic landscape in Lisbon. Tip: On the south bank of the bridge is another landmark building in Lisbon - on the top of Almada, the statue + the large statue of Jesus with a total height of 110 meters, opens your huge hands and overlooks the beautiful Lisbon."Almada4.9km from LisbonHighlights: On April 25, the bridge spanned both sides of the Tejo River, connecting Lisbon and the city of Almada on the opposite bank, and it is one of the landmarks of Lisbon. On April 25, the bridge has a total length of 2277 meters, with six lines of traffic on the upper level and railways on the lower level. Because its exterior color is similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States, the contractors of the two bridges are the same company, and they are often called the sister bridge of the Golden Gate Bridge by the outside world. The bridge connects Lisbon with the city of Almada on the opposite bank. On the top of the mountain in Almada, a Christ with open arms stands tall here. People who sailed in those days always set off under this sculpture to go to the unknown world. Today, the April 25 bridge has experienced more than 40 years of wind and rain, and it still glows red, like a red ribbon, hanging over the Tejo River, becoming a beautiful landscape in Lisbon.Show Less - 4.94.6/549 Reviewbased on 3375 reviews"The world has two tall statues of Jesus, one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the other in Lisbon, Portugal, where the Great Jesus of Lisbon is located at one end of the April 25 bridge. Artist Franco spent 10 years completing the 28-meter statue of Jesus, plus 82 meters of concrete base, and the statue was 110 meters high."Almada5.6km from LisbonHighlights: The big Jesus statue is 110 meters high and sits on a green hill at one end of the April 25 Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril). This Jesus statue is exactly the same as the Jesus statue in Rio, Brazil. It is confusing whether Lisbon copied Rio or Rio copied the suzerain, but it is definitely worth a visit. The pictures in the church below the statue of Jesus tell the story of its architectural history, as well as the stories of devout women who thanked God for their fathers, brothers, and lovers who survived World War II. Take the elevator to the observation deck, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Lisbon on the opposite bank and the magnificent river view of the Tejo River. In addition, the church also provides various services for the congregation, including confession, baptism, and weddings, which are worth mentioning. Interested tourists can arrange a special wedding during their trip to surprise the bride.Show Less

Perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views, the vibrant colors and unique architecture make it feel like something out of a fairy tale. The interior is equally beautiful, filled with intricate details and history."Sao Pedro de Penaferrim23km from LisbonHighlights: Pena Palace is the king's departure palace, its dazzling, peculiar, pretentious figure looks like a paradise castle. The palace itself is a hodgepodge of various architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish, and Manueline (Manueline, the architectural style of the reign of King Nuel I of Portugal). The brainchild of Ferdinandofsaxe-Coburg-Gotha, husband of Queen Maria II. It is not only a national monument of Portugal, but also one of the seven wonders of Portugal. It is located on the top of a hill in the São Pedro de Penaferrim in Sintra, near Lisbon. It is clearly visible in the city of Lisbon in clear weather. In 1995, it was selected as a World Heritage Site as part of Sintra's Cultural Landscape. It is now frequently used for state activities by the President of Portugal and other government officials. In the Middle Ages, it was only a chapel of Our Lady. In 1493, Joao II and his wife came here for a pilgrimage. His successor, Manuel I, built the monastery. In 1755, the monastery was razed to the ground in the Lisbon earthquake. From 1842 to 1854, great efforts were spent to build the royal summer palace. The architect was Baron von Eschwege, a German, and was finally completed in 1885.Show Less

based on 5259 reviews"Sintra, which is included in the world cultural heritage, has the highest recognition and most eye-catching landmark, which belongs to the "Niujiao Palace" - Sintra Palace. The palace of Sintra, located in the center of the small town, was built in the late 14th century and the first half of the 16th century, and was a summer palace for kings from the Portuguese Republic until the establishment of the Republic in 1900. The two columns of chimneys in the palace kitchen, the chubby cone shape, like a pair of huge horns towering in the Sintra Mountains, become the landmark landscape of Sintra City, the palace also has a romantic image of the Ya-Niu horn palace. Looking from afar, surrounded by mountains, a pair of white horns directly inserted into the blue sky, and the emerald Sintra added a bit of fairy tale romance; look at it, the dark red slope top, the snow-white exterior wall, the exquisite window... The fusion art style is impressive; Standing in front of the palace, the small square looks out to the four, the rolling hillside colorful buildings dotted, the beautiful..."Sao Martinho23.3km from LisbonHighlights: The Royal Palace of Sintra is located in Sintra, near Lisbon, Portugal. It was built by John I and was not completed until the reign of Manuel I in the 16th century. It is Portugal's well-preserved medieval royal palace and was more or less continuously inhabited by the royal family from the early 15th century to the late 19th century. The palace combines Moorish and Visigothic architectural styles, and its large chimney is particularly eye-catching. The two tall white chimneys are very similar to horns, so they are also called "Horn Palace". The Royal Palace was the king's summer palace until the Portuguese republic was established. There are many characteristic rooms in the palace, among which the large Swan Hall is beautifully decorated, and 27 swans in different poses are depicted on the ceiling. There is also the Mermaid Room decorated with tiles, the China Room with the collection of Chinese ivory towers, and the Badge Room decorated with beautiful tile murals and aristocratic badges. As part of the cultural landscape of Sintra, it is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.Show Less - 8.24.5/580 ReviewFrom1587.88

This manor is very large, you can stroll slowly."Sao Martinho23.7km from LisbonHighlights: Located near the historic center of Sintra in Portugal, the Regaleira Estate is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape and is one of Sintra's main tourist attractions. The Regaleira estate includes the romantic Regaleira Palace, the Regaleira Chapel, and a sumptuous park with lakes, caves, wells, benches, fountains and a wide variety of exquisite buildings. The estate is also known as the "Millionaire Monteiro's Palace," after the nickname of the first owner. There is a small curved city wall in the middle of the manor. There are many sacred objects carved on the city wall. When you walk into the city wall, you will see a dry well with a depth of 27 meters when you pass through a cave that is more than ten meters long. The exit at the end of the cave is just right. In the middle of the well, a spiral staircase surrounds the well, with 9 spiral layers, symbolizing the 9 cycles of heaven, hell and purgatory described by Dante. Along the spiral staircase, you can walk from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. Outside the wellhead is a garden, a world of flowers.Show Less - 4.54.8/533 Reviewbased on 1036 reviews"Caskesh coastal sea, especially romantic, there are many sailboats, reflecting the leisure and fun of life here, is a very special place in Portugal, if the time is rich, you must come here to punch in!"Cascais24.5km from LisbonHighlights: There are many sailboats in Cascais Marina, which is perfect for walking and enjoying the sea view, and it is a good place to relax.

- 4.75.0/55 ReviewFreebased on 6850 reviews"Portugal's third largest city, Cascais, 30 km west of Lisbon. Cascais was originally a fishing town, and bathing was popular in Europe in the late 19th century, and Cascais was gradually transformed into a noble city. The king of Portugal also moved his summer resort here, building a residence and five castles, and it has since become a resort. Portugal was a neutral country in World War II, and the Allies and Axis had a large presence in Cascais to gather political and economic intelligence, which was a huge spy. The British Duke of Windsor, who loved beauty and didn't love the mountains, escaped from the stalking and kidnapping of Nazi German agents and fled to Bermuda. The prototype of James Bond was from here, and the author Ian Fleming's 007 novels were created here."Cascais24.6km from LisbonHighlights: Cascais is a fishing town. Sea bathing was popular in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Cascais was gradually transformed into a city rich in aristocratic atmosphere, and it is also a holiday resort.Show Less

The special and well known foe this place is the big hole for water waving pass inside in and out the hilling deep. From the big hole is likely a mouth at why called Cabo (mouth) do inferno in Portuguese meant the hell."Cascais25.5km from LisbonHighlights: It is located about 2 kilometers southwest of the old town of Cascais. A hole is formed on a 30-meter cliff, the waves of the Atlantic beat against the cliff, and the sea water pours in from the hole, which makes people feel the magic of nature. The waves of the Atlantic Ocean are even more frightening because of the cliffs and a deep hole in the cliffs. There is a small red-roofed house on the top. An old man is waiting here to welcome local and foreign tourists who come here from time to time. Standing on the shore, I saw the waves in the ocean rolling in, over the reefs near the shore, rolling out vortices one by one, and then furiously hitting the rocks and caves on the cliffs, making a deafening loud noise. Spectacular cliffs and huge waves and loud noises, hence the name.Show Less
- 8.04.6/5274 ReviewFree"I really don’t need to listen to everyone toss by train and bus. Since I go so far to play, do I care about the taxi money at that point? Everyone said right. My husband took a taxi directly from Lisbon to this. I spent 13 euros. I will regret it for a lifetime."Colares31.9km from LisbonHighlights: Cape Roca is about 40 kilometers from Lisbon, located in the west of Sintra in the Lisbon district, and belongs to the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. It is a narrow cliff about 140 meters above sea level at the western tip of Portugal, once considered the end of the world. Compared with other coasts, Cape Roca is indeed different. The steep cliffs are like lonely arms reaching out to the vast Atlantic Ocean. When you look down, you can see the vertical towering cliffs. Walking on them is like walking to the horizon. The sea and sky are the same color, and the scenery is magnificent It is wide open, and you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset views here. Guardrails are built around the cliffs to prevent accidents for visitors.Show Less
