An icon of Lisbon’s 18th-century reconstruction, the Rua Augusta Arch is a mighty structure with an unparalleled viewpoint. Enormous allegorical statues tower over you atop the high columns of the Arch, which makes for a stunning entrance to Praça do Comércio square.

With this ticket, discover all the nooks within the triumphal Arch of Rua Augusta.

Each statue that adorns the high columns has a story to tell; learn more about the history of the Arch in its grand Clock Room.

Access the terrace at the top by elevator followed by a spiral staircase, and enjoy 360-degree views of the city.

Drop by the charming adjacent plaza Praça do Comércio filled with stores, outdoor cafés, mosaic pavements, and the occasional street artist!

Fun fact: Construction of the Rua Augusta Arch took almost 120 years to complete!

I had a combined ticket mentioning things that weren't included or posssible at the venue : for example complimentary drinks at the cathedral or access to the balcony/terrace that was closed and not accessible for the public...

Todo perfecto, una experiencia muy satisfactoria y muy sencilla con tantas comodidades

A formidable symbol of Lisbon’s resilience, the Rua Augusta Arch pays a stunning tribute to the city. The highest viewpoint on this building is a must-see, offering panoramic views all the way downtown. The emblematic Terreiro do Paço square, historic Baixa area, Sé Cathedral, and the River Tagus are some of the iconic spots visible from the top of the building.

On the upper level you can see the highest statues by Célestin Anatole Calmels - of “Glory” crowning “Genius” and “Valour”. Below these are the statues by Vítor Bastos depicting the historical figures of Viriatus, Vasco da Gama, the Marquis of Pombal and Nuno Álvares Pereira.

One of the most recognizable features of this monument is the grand clock set in dazzling filigree. Behind it lies the Clock Room (Sala do Relógio), where visitors can discover the long history of this Arch, from the moment construction work began after the devastating 1755 earthquakes, till completion in 1875.
