What a wonderful, calm place. A reflexion on our own mortality, those who came before us, and those who may remember us. Most tombstones are very well maintained, others not so much. Some places offer great vistas on the city and river.

Excellent goth liker cemetery. Packed with classic tombs and beautiful sculptures. This church yard has a special identity. you will experience the hour glass with bat wings all over. it's actually also some of the decor on the main entrance! It's easy to navigate and there is even public toilets on the perimeter. And plenty of benches. Since the yard is on higher ground you will also from some parts have en excellent view over parts of Lisbon.
Extremely stylish and exotic place)) Tranquil and relaxing atmosphere ))) Here you can feel that “Time is flying “))
The layout and tombs of this cemetery reminded me of Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires, but this one has lots of cypresses and a nice view. At the office by the entrance I requested a map of the cemetery. The map has a self-guided tour of the tombs of the most famous people, but, unless you’re very familiar with Portuguese history and culture, you’ll probably not know anybody. Recoleta Cemetery at least has Eva Perón. Interesting points, for me, were the big mausoleum at the edge of the cemetery, the view of the bridge from the observation area, and the tomb of a young woman who was killed at the Bataclan massacre in Paris.
Wonderful experience. Be sure to catch the #28 Tram there. Give yourself a good two hours to stroll around the whole place. Also provides great views of Ponte 25 de Abril.
Great place for relaxing and silence. I recommend a short visit after driving the e-Tram 28.
A poetic and decadent last house with a breathtaking view on the city. I loved it.
Tranquility among the dead. As a first timer to a European cemetery, this was nice, and almost like a walk in the park. It was sombre, and some the crypts were very old. Tram station is a mere 50 metres away and the St. Luis bridge is very clearly visible. Maybe we can find some answers among the deceased.
