About
Hurtige fakta: Klippevind og duft af hav blander sig ved de gamle mure, mens udsigten maler byen i et patchwork af røde tage og glimtende flod. Gå langs de brede volde og mærk hvordan dine fodtrin rammer lag af fortid, arkæologiske fund dukker op som små hemmeligheder under stenene.
Højdepunkter: Morgendugg og salt luft løfter duften af gamle sten, mens hvide påfugle strutter mellem tårnruinerne og klaprer med deres halefjer, et syn der føles som et levende maleri i langsom bevægelse. Under overfladen afslører arkæologiske lag spor fra omkring 2.000 år siden, man kan spotte romerske fliser og middelalderlige fundamenter mellem moderne fund.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, cobblestones and steep steps are common around the site.
- Head to the northwest ramparts at golden hour for the best skyline and Tagus views.
- Take tram 28 or use the nearby Elevador de Santa Justa to shorten the uphill walk if you want to save energy.
- Avoid midday in July and August; choose a morning or late afternoon slot to dodge heat and long lines.
