Within walking distance of many other sights, the Gothic Jerónimos Monastery is a must-see on any itinerary.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city — this forest area on and around the Monsanto Hill is home to the Monsanto Ecological Park, established to provide visitors with insight into the diverse natural and geographic environment of the area. Don't miss the Panorâmico de Monsanto — the graffitied, abandoned Brutalist building of a former high-end restaurant that's now a popular spot for panoramic views over Lisbon.
