Beautiful church with interesting cloisters and azulejos. The views from the rooftop balcony are also amazing.

Carris (main transport operator in Lisbon) offers city tours on open-top buses. €14 each hop on/hop off (every 40 min) tour valid for 24 hours so you can start any time of day/evening and valid for other forms of transport too on day of purchase. They do a circuit of a route marked by set stops and give a commentary of points of interest via headsets.
Other tours including trams are not on/off but 1-2 hours in duration. €17
Most city bus/tram tours including Aerobus (airport to city) for 48 hours costs 30€.
Save a lot of time and money and buy at the aairport (at the post office) as many passes are not on buses and only at metro stations.

Starts at Praca do Comercio at the bottom of town near Information centre.

Ride the 28 tram, which lurches and clangs its way though narrow winding streets. A cheap way of getting your bearings, but can be crowded.

If you only have a short time in Lisbon, definitely take a trip on one of the trams - you get to see a lot more and can decide where you would like to visit further.

Old ones run in the old town of the seven hills, and new run alongside the river.

There are three fantastic sights in this area - Torre de Belem, Monument to the Discoveries and for me the best was Mosteiro dos Jeronimos.

Get the 15 tram from Praca de Figueira and get off after Mosteiro dos Jeronimos. You need to walk up aways and take the footbridge over the road to get to the Torre de Belem, and the Monument to the Discoveries.
