Beautiful arch linking the busy street of Rua Augusta to Lisbon's main square of Praça do Comércio.
One of the most popular tourists spots in Lisbon so it can be very busy in the summer months or weekends but still a must visit.

A lovely square to walk around. I lived around when having my holidays at Lisbon. Great location - close to a lot of attractions and when it was sunny the view is really open and nice. It is also at a great transportation area, loads of shops, restaurant and bus station near by! The most amazing part is that it is so close to the river and you could enjoy the stunning view!
I absolutely loved it! When you stand in front of it, the sheer scale and grandeur are truly breathtaking. These structure is massive, and if you're anywhere nearby, I highly recommend visiting to experience their magnificence firsthand.
You can take the lift to the top and enjoy the panoramic view. The tickets are accessible and there is no one queuing up. You can easily enjoy and take as many pictures as you want without anyone being in your way.
Having heard this was available to climb, we went up and were greeted not only with the view from above of the Praça do Comércio, but also with up close looks of the statues at the top of the arch, as well as a timeline of the arch's lifetime.
With a budget friendly price to tickets, even if the stay is limited to 15 minutes at the top, it is worth the climb.
Just be sure to take some sunscreen or a hat/cap if it's sunny.

This is probably the most popular location in Lisbon.
The square is huge. The archway is splendid and you can go through it to get to the center of Lisbon.
You won't miss this place during your trip in Lisbon.

It's definitely worth a visit to this monument. On top of the arch, you'll have a splendid view over the square below and the centre of Lisbon. The statues on top of the arch are beautiful as well.
Another good thing is the cheap entrance price of €3,50

Must see place in Lisbon. Looks wonderful and so nice to walk around it. You can also go up with a ticket and I would say it is worth it. You can buy the ticket easily right there and there is not much of a wait the view from the top is fantastic and you can also ring the huge bell there. Gorgeous views of the city and Praca da commercia from the top
Area is undergoing improvement works but you are still able to get to it.
The architecture is really nice and wasn't too crowded during the week.
The local restaurants are quite expensive but looked like they served very good food.

Really cool viewpoint to see the whole city. When I was there, there was no queue and almost no one was on the top - you can enjoy the view without the crowds. The entrance is included in the Lisbon Card, so definitely recommend.
Obviously a must when in Lisbon! Nice archway that you can see from many places in the city. From the sea side is the best. Take a couple of pictures and enjoy it! Then walk down to the waterfront and take a look at the scenery. All in all a solid place to have a look around, would definitely recommend to stop by and have a look.
You can also go on top for a small fee of around €3 but free with the Lisbon card
Don’t forget to grab a drink and sit on the water front!!
