Undiscovered Portugal – Lisbon to the Algarve Tour Day 2 Lisbon

Our first full day in Lisbon saw us going on a coach tour of the city in the morning and having free time in the afternoon to sightsee in places of our choosing. We decided to explore the streets close to our hotel. This 9-day tour is run by Titan. If you are wondering about day 1 this was traveling from the UK to Portugal where we arrived at our hotel in the late afternoon, so there is no video of that.

The video of Lisbon was recorded on 6 June 2023 with a DJI Pocket camera.

The Jerónimos Monastery, also called Hieronymites Monastery, is along with the Tower of Belém, one of the most visited sites in Lisbon. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1983. This landmark is called Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Portuguese.

The religious building was designed by the Portuguese architect Diogo de Boitaca to commemorate the return of Vasco da Gama from India. The construction began on 6 January 1501 and wasn’t completed until the seventeenth century.  The building is predominantly Manueline style (Portuguese late Gothic).
