Our Lady of Oliveira Church, also known as "Oliveirinha", is a chapel located at R. São Julião140, in the heart of Lisbon. As it stands almost imperceptibly integrated into a low-level Pombaline building, it may not be immediately obvious, but it holds valuable traces from the same era. Here, we find unique tile work and its main image is older than the great 1755 earthquake. 'Oliveirinha ' is a welcoming space that stands out in Marquês de Pombal's urban mesh, offering also a privileged view of the city that is a visit motivation itself. Elaborate tile panels and the Virgin and Infant Christ are also present, making this place an equal combination of devotion and beauty. Reaching Our Lady of Oliveira Church is easy: you can elect to drive, but it is even more convenient to get there as it is situated at the centre of the city. This small chapel holds both historical and devotional elements that should not be missed. Visiting Our Lady of Oliveira Church is a unique opportunity to enjoy Lisbon and all the history that surrounds it.

Sobre Lisboa

Lisbon unfolds between its hills and the River Tagus, through cobbled streets, tiled façades and viewpoints overlooking the rooftops. Portugal’s capital invites you to pair its major monuments with the small pleasures of neighbourhood life: coffee at an outdoor table, an unhurried wander down a side street or a quiet moment by the river.

Neighbourhoods with different stories

In Alfama and Mouraria, narrow lanes and stairways invite exploration on foot. Lisbon Cathedral and São Jorge Castle offer an introduction to the old city, while the Portas do Sol viewpoint looks out over Alfama and the Tagus. For another perspective, head uphill to Graça and the Senhora do Monte viewpoint.

In Baixa Pombalina, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, the orderly street grid contrasts with the hillside neighbourhoods. Walk from Rossio to Praça do Comércio along Rua Augusta, then continue beside the river at Ribeira das Naus. Above Baixa, Chiado brings together bookshops, theatres and cafés; after dark, Bairro Alto is one of the city’s liveliest areas.

Belém and the waterfront

Set aside time for Belém, where the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower form a UNESCO World Heritage site. Combine the historic sights with a waterfront stroll and a stop for a pastel de Belém custard tart. To the east, Parque das Nações reveals another side of the capital, shaped by the urban transformation for Expo 98, contemporary architecture and waterside promenades.

Local flavours and time to wander

At the table, explore salt cod dishes, petiscos — small dishes to share — and pastéis de nata custard tarts. Fado offers another way into Lisbon’s culture, particularly in Alfama and Mouraria.

Plan your visit around neighbouring areas and allow time for hills and steps. Wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled streets and combine walking with public transport for longer journeys. Between monuments, leave room for the moments that need no itinerary: watching the river, discovering a square or lingering at a viewpoint.
