Lisbon
Portugal · 38.72°, -9.14°
City of seven hills where vintage trams rattle through narrow streets and azulejo tiles decorate every corner. Pastéis de nata, fado music, and stunning Atlantic views.
L’Alfama et le Fado
Le seul quartier qui ait résisté au tremblement de terre de 1755 : ruelles en escalier, linge aux fenêtres, et les maisons de fado où se chante depuis le XIXᵉ siècle cette mélancolie inscrite à l’UNESCO.
Le musée national de l’Azulejo
Dans le couvent de la Madre de Deus, cinq siècles de carreau portugais, dont un panneau de vingt-trois mètres qui montre Lisbonne avant le séisme — le plus grand document visuel de la ville disparue.
Le Panthéon national et la Feira da Ladra
L’église Sainte-Engrâce, chantier de trois siècles devenu proverbe portugais, et le marché aux puces qui se tient à côté les mardis et samedis depuis le XIIIᵉ siècle.
Le musée national d’Art ancien
Le fonds majeur du pays : les Panneaux de saint Vincent, les paravents Nanban qui montrent l’arrivée des Portugais au Japon, et les Tentations de saint Antoine de Jérôme Bosch.
Le LX Factory et Alcântara
Une filature de 1846 sous le pont du 25-Avril, occupée depuis 2008 par des librairies, des ateliers et des tables. Marché du dimanche sous les charpentes.
Le belvédère de Santa Luzia et les miradouros
Lisbonne se lit d’en haut : Santa Luzia et sa pergola sur l’Alfama, Senhora do Monte, São Pedro de Alcântara, Santa Catarina. La ville compte plus de vingt belvédères aménagés.
Le marché de la Ribeira
La halle de 1892, dont la moitié est restée marché aux primeurs et l’autre est devenue en 2014 la plus grande table de la ville : quarante comptoirs tenus par des chefs lisboètes.
Le monastère de Belém et les pastéis
Le cloître manuélin de 1502, payé par le poivre des Indes, où reposent Vasco de Gama et Camões — et à deux cents mètres, la fabrique qui tient depuis 1837 la recette des pastéis des moines.
Le funiculaire de la Bica et le Chiado
Trois funiculaires classés monuments nationaux grimpent les pentes de la ville depuis 1885. Celui de la Bica descend vers le Tage, entre les façades du Chiado et de Cais do Sodré.
Cascais et la côte de l’Estoril
À quarante minutes de train le long de l’estuaire, un port de pêche devenu station royale en 1870, la Boca do Inferno, et les plages du Guincho battues par l’Atlantique.
