Palácio Nacional Da Ajuda
Richard S.

Built in 1802 as the Royal residences where the royals lived in the 18th & 19th centuries. It is now used by the President of Portugal for official functions and is a museum. The rooms, furniture, tapestries, and pictures are amazing.

Beautiful piece of Portuguese history to check out!…read more Such a beautiful monastery to check out. You can buy tickets there at the kiosk, online, or through a tour group to skip the line. They have timed entrances and let in at least 800 ppl per time slot. There is a bathroom in upper level and the bottom near the exit. There is a free chapel to check out to the right of the entrance to the monastery. Not a place to miss!

The monastery is an ornate architectural marvel with incredible artworks and a beautiful courtyard that is an incredible testament the building prowess of that time. There are plenty of sights to see within and again the courtyard was the real highlight. There is a majestic sense of history that really surrounds you as you walk through the hallways and grand rooms that adorn this very large building. It is recommended to arrive early as I mentioned, the lines will get very long. The other aspect to be aware of is that people will harass you outside to buy things, it wasn't clear if they were gypsies or locals but it got a little annoying when a bunch of them swarm you and you really have to be on the lookout for your belongings. This place is also within walking distance of various other notable sights near the river so it's a great place to make as the centerpiece of your Lisbon walking tour.

The Monument to Overseas Combatants specifically addresses the losses suffered in the Portuguese…read moreColonial War, which is known here in Portugal as the Overseas War. During the conflict, the country's forces fought in three African theaters from 1961 to 1974, and more than 9,000 Portuguese soldiers lost their lives. But there is more to it than that. As the fighting went on and on, and the losses continued, it eventually turned public sentiment against the government of fascist leader Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, eventually resulting in the 1974 military coup of his successor, Marcelo Caetano. Built in 1994, it is a simple but very striking monument. Two black-and-white pillars rise out of the water of the center lake, forming an incomplete inverted triangle. An eternal flame sits under the point where the pillars would meet. The armed guards stand, protecting the site. As an American, I see a comparison to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. A respectful tour of the site is in order. Surrounding the site in chronological order are 180 bronze plates that are engraved with the names of soldiers who lost their lives in the Portuguese Colonial War. The site is open 24 hours and there is no charge to visit. It is quite solemn and visits here should be respectful. While the two guards were not standing perfectly still like the famous Queen's Guards in London, I would assume that you shouldn't interact with them.
