Lisbon’s historic center
Before heading to some of the most popular attractions for families, it’s worth setting aside a few hours to explore Lisbon’s historic center.
The city was founded over two thousand years ago, along the banks of the Tagus River, and was successively occupied by Romans, Muslims, and Christians. Today, neighborhoods like Baixa Pombalina, Chiado, Rossio, Alfama, and São Jorge Castle preserve much of this heritage, combining historical monuments, squares, trams, museums, and viewpoints that pique the curiosity of visitors of all ages.
Using the Campo Pequeno metro station, it’s possible to quickly reach the heart of the city and explore these places without needing a car.
Parque das Nações (Park of Nations)
Built to host the 1998 World Exposition (Expo’98), dedicated to the theme “The Oceans, a Heritage for the Future,” the Parque das Nações transformed a former industrial area into one of Lisbon’s most modern urban areas. Currently, it’s a favorite spot for families, thanks to its ample green spaces, gardens, terraces, pedestrian paths along the Tagus River, and a wide range of cultural and leisure activities.
From the Campo Pequeno metro station, the journey takes only a few minutes, allowing you to easily reach an area where you can spend an entire day without repeating any activities.
Another highlight of the visit is the Lisbon Cable Car, which runs for about 1.2 kilometers along the riverfront, connecting the Vasco da Gama Tower to the Lisbon Oceanarium. During the ride, you can enjoy a privileged view of the Tagus River, the gardens, the contemporary architecture of the Parque das Nações, and some of the most emblematic buildings in this part of the city, making it an experience especially appreciated by children.
Among the main attractions in this area, two visits are practically mandatory:

At the Pavilion of Knowledge, children and adults are invited to touch, build, test, and explore dozens of interactive experiences related to science, technology, engineering, and creativity.
