Katarina Petrinec
★★★★★2 months agoNational Pantheon was great we used our Lisboa card to get in worth it. No line up’s at all we got to see Vasco De Gama tomb. We also climbed the stairs to see the panoramic view of the city. I loved when we got to the top of the pantheon how high you actually feel up there. I wanted to go right to the top which would have been more stairs but my legs couldn’t do anymore. Incredible views.

★★★★★3 months agoWe visited in mid March and with most things it Lisbon it was a bit of an uphill walk but certainly worth the effort Its a beautiful building inside & out & the views from the different levels are amazing & finally the 360 views once you on top & go outside is incredible. View of the Tagus river & April 25th bridge Its quite a climb at around 180 steps & a bit daunting at the higher levels if you scared of heights. The decor was really great and the various tombs were interesting to. If you have a Lisboa card entry is free
