Basilica da Estrela, Lisbon

There are no words to describe the feeling on entering the Basilica. The paintings, ceiling, altar, statues, chapel...everything just draws you in and you are at peace. Mass at 12 noon was an amazing experience. The singer has a beautiful voice and the organs lift your spirits to the heavens (and no, we can't speak Portuguese). Loved our visit!

Basílica da Estrela located a top of the hill. From its rooftop opens an amazing view of the city. At the bottom of the basilica spreads the nice garden.

Great church and I can recommend going up on the roof for just €4,- to have a nice view of the city. However, I can not recommend that for people who are afraid of heights since it's quite high and there are some minor safety cocerns up there.

Beautifully constructed church with attention to details and fine carvings.👌 Stopped by this area in the evening after a long days work and it was a pleasant view all along. The whole place is dotted with historic monuments and museums. Worth a visit as it will take a whole day to cover all the place. Well preserved and well maintained surroundings with artistic landscaping. Grateful to my friend Antonio to have shown me these magnificient monuments!👍

Stunning church, so tranquil and peaceful. Filled with so much history and for under £5 you can climb up to the top of the Basilica (150+ steps) for the avid climber. Light candles, say a prayer and take in all that is beautifully symbolically catholic. Great place to reflect and take it all in!! Across from the Estrela is the Jardim Da Estrela park great for a stop off with the children with a swing park to the rear (children only toilets st the back) additional toilets at the front of the park upon entry to the right. Park has two cafes/food stops with beer happy hour as well as Gelado Ice Cream vans opposite the Bascilica. Lisbon Trams journey past constantly so a great trip you could see with the hop on hop off tour.
