National Pantheon

Unbelievable hidden gem (or rather not as well-visited as some of the other attractions), but this was one of my favorite places in Lisbon.

Like other pantheons, it holds the same shape as well as tombs (and cenotaphs) of famous Portuguese people.

However, one has an opportunity to climb up to the very top and stand on the broad roof, looking out across the city. It was such a cool place to be and under the dome, one can walk on the walkway looking down into the pantheon!

Absolutely breathtaking. There is a little bit of a climb on the hill to get to the National Pantheon, but wow is it amazing. Free to enter if you have the Lisboa card, the views inside are great. Keep in mind you can go upstairs, but there is only one stairwell going up and one stairwell going down. There are few places to sit down inside, so keep aware. Once climb up to the top, you are treated to a wonderful view of the city below. This is the only example of Baroque architecture in Lisbon as far as I know. Well worth the visit!

Beautiful and imposing! The streets put to it from the train station are quite steep. You can, but there is a city bus stop in the front, tus like every 15 to 20 minutes. You can also take one of those decorate golf cars or tuktuk tha are everywhere.
If you want to go all the way to the rooftop you will have to climb a lot of steps, but the views are magnificent. The inside vies from the top floor are also incredible.

Beautiful experience. Entry is free with your Lisboa Card or you can purchase tickets to visit. The architecture is breathtaking. There's an observation deck in the inner dome of the Pantheon as well as an open air deck with views of the city.

Tombs of influential persons to Portugal and their histories are on display and give an idea of the cultural background.

The National Pantheon-Church of Santa Engrácia is the only example of Baroque architecture in Portugal.
It stands on one of the hills in the eastern part of Lisbon, facing the river.
Beautiful interior and exterior, nice views over the city from the roof. Definitely worth a visit!!

The Pantheon is absolutely incredible! It wasn’t originally on our itinerary but came across it on our way to the tile museum, and realised entry was included with the Lisboa Card so we thought we’d just pop in.

I’m so glad we did as the architecture is astounding! You can walk right to the top and experience the beauty of the floor from above, and get a close up of the carving and engraving of the dome. Plus the views from outside are amazing!

Highly recommended!

Located in the Alfama neighbourhood, we visited at the end of February, on a Tuesday in the early afternoon. Was 8€ per person & worth it!

Tickets may need to be purchased in advance in the busy season, however it was pretty quiet when we went. We didn’t wait in line and walked right in.

You can explore the main level and read the snippets of information surrounding the construction, originally being a church and later changed to the national pantheon. And eventually turned to a national monument in 1910(after the ending of the monarchy & start of the republic).
There are also many national personalities buried here, mostly recent including poets, a soccer player, philosophers etc.

As you travel up stairs, there’s varying levels to stop and overlook the center of the pantheon. At the top you have the choice to walk around highest point of the dome or travel outside to overlook of the Tagus River and Lisbon. It’s a great representation of the Baroque style & beautiful to see, especially when the sun shines in.

Free visit for residents in Portugal on Sundays. This place is like a memorial for those that contributed to Portuguese culture and history. Some of these people were buried here, others have a memorial place for it.

National Pantheon is BEAUTIFUL. The pictures do it NO JUSTICE. The feeling when you enter the Cathedral is grande. I wonder how many people have walked through these marvelous doors. The art work I amazing. It's easy to get lost wondering around.

It is worth seeing. You can get for free with your Lisbon card! Beyond the architecture, it also provides you with a 360 view on the top floor. Moreover it’s nearby Alfama,so you can combine your visit with a walk through worlds oldest neighbourhood.

It is beautiful inside, a marble patchwork marvel, well worth a visit. The dome gallery is like a mini St Paul's and it opens onto the roof terrace with spectacular 360 degree views. Over 180 steps up though so prepare yourself. Worth 8 Euro entry but it would be free with a Lisboa Card.

We have visited Lisbon many times before and ashamed to say we had not ascended up the steep streets to see The Pantheon . Wow! It's amazing and beautiful. Free access for disabled ( take ID or some documents). Bit tricky over the cobbles on my mobility scooter but So glad we saw it on this trip

A very beautiful building. Circling the top of the dome was great. I thought the entry fee was a little high but we had a lovely time.

This is a magnificent example of grand classical architecture. Visitors are granted free access to climb all the staircases up into the dome. The interiors views were magnificent. One is permitted to to go out on the roof where one has a fine view of a beautiful city. The admission price was trivial. Well worth a visit.

very beautiful church that you can climb up and enjoy the view over Lisbon. very fascinating

It's worth the 8 Euro admission if you're willing to climb all the way to the top for the amazing view. It's not an old building built in the 1960s but the architecture gives it that old feel.

Very beautiful views and building. Lots of, optional stairs, to reach the rooftop and upper, interior balcony. It is well worth the climb! Good place to cool off and take your time enjoying the serenity. Only 4 EUR to get in and there was no line in the morning. Great place to stop by!

I arrived at this place by pure luck. I love walking around the cities I visit to discover things by myself. And while walking around beautiful Lisbon I bumped into this magnificent building. I went in and they asked me if I wanted to visit inside. The building reminded me of the Pantheon in Paris which I love so I decided to buy the ticket and come inside. The first thing that caught my eye was a photographic exhibition of people of determination ( or Special Needs people as they're called in Europe). I was touched by the images and the content.. After I walked around in the ground floor and saw some of the tombs of Presidents and famous Portuguese Writers and Explorers I decided to go up the stairs. I ended up in the most fantastic Miradour in the whole of Lisbonne. 360 degrees of sheer beauty. The whole of the city right under your eyes. I was so happy to be there I sat down facing the glorious morning sun and stayed there for 2 hours. There was hardly anyone there The next day I brought my son along and he was delighted with the place and took beautiful photos. We both absolutely loved this place. Worth a visit a 100%.. I would go back there any time.

Great place to visit, beautiful inside. Don't forget to go to the terrace for great views over Lisbon.

The place is awesome, there are not a lot of people and that’s a shame because so far this is my favorite monument of Lisboa :) also a nice point of view when on the top of the patheon !
