From Bairro Alto to Alfama, from the castle of São Jorge to the Jerónimos Monastery, and from Praça do Comércio to Praça Marquês de Pombal, we will traverse the streets of Lisbon with Fernando Pessoa, discovering monuments, palaces, squares, parks, and museums. We will accompany him to the local establishments he frequented, ride one of the many trams to reach the neighborhoods that climb the seven hills, and admire the Tagus River and the ocean from above with their spectacular colors. Lisbon is a concise guide written by Pessoa in 1925, still remarkably useful today. It captures the essence of the city, offering insights into its history and culture, while inviting readers to explore its vibrant streets and rich heritage. The text serves as a timeless companion for anyone wishing to experience the magic of Lisbon, reflecting both its past and present allure.
