There is no right solution, unless you subscribe to the idea that you should walk from your parish church at home. Where exactly you start is up to you. Many people would consider it symbolic to start at either one, and get a stamp from one or both. They are less than 1 km apart.want to get it right.
We can ask Aurélio. He showed us around during a touristical tour round Lisbon and he showed us the igreja de Santiago and told us that that is the beginning of the caminho in Lisbon.The church of Santiago is about a 3 minute walk from the cathedral. The arrows start at the Cathedral. Maybe someone has an update that proves me wrong, but this is the way it was the last time I checke. Some go to the Santiago church to get a stamp and then contnue on to the Cathedral, where you will see the first arrow on the bottom right side as you walk up the steps to enter the Cathedral. Oh, what I would give……
Together with Aurélio we have been in the church of Santiago Even this week I watched the video I made inside . Very beautifull church. And indeed it is close to the Sé.There is a sign in front of the church of Santiago saying it is the beginning of the camino. But I have never seen it open. As @peregrino2000 says, the church and the cathedral are very close to each other, so you can easily visit both. Start with the church of Santiago, go downhill to the cathedral and then pick up the (hard to spot) arrow on the bottom of the façade of the cathedral (on the right), heading downhill past the orange trees with the cathedral on your left. Bom caminho!
Think I will do that. Cover both bases that way. CheersThere is a sign in front of the church of Santiago saying it is the beginning of the camino. But I have never seen it open.

I have just noticed that the Camino actually starts at the Church of Santiago in Lisbon and not the Cathedral. How many people start at the church as opposed to the cathedral? Starting on the 15 March and want to get it right.
and you can get your special credencial there from a very friendly man.You can go and make your own decision. The Santiago Church has been closed every time I have been there. The cathedral is always open
It’s a couple of small streets over from the cathedral but unmarked and locked up. There is a sign indicating it is the church of santiago.I have just noticed that the Camino actually starts at the Church of Santiago in Lisbon and not the Cathedral.

There’s no open office there I could find. I think the church is either under renovation or no longer used.I have done a google maps and street view search and hopefully I can find my way from my hostel to The Church of Santiago. A stamp from there would be nice, but as it seems to be locked up a photo may have to do.

My friend and I started from the Cathedral. It is REALLY hard to see the arrow. We looked and looked for the first arrow and couldn't find it. I told my friend lets just go to the right and down the hill because we have to end up walking by the water. Just as we turned the corner there it was!!!There is a sign in front of the church of Santiago saying it is the beginning of the camino. But I have never seen it open.

Ha - remember it well.My friend and I started from the Cathedral. It is REALLY hard to see the arrow. We looked and looked for the first arrow and couldn't find it.

When was that picture taken? When i walked we saw the arrow on a bottom brick of the cathedral almost at sidewalk level and of course it seemed to have been painted right before the turn of the 20th Century!
That was June 21 - just around the corner as you begin the walk downwards away from the Cathedral. I was just relieved to have found the Cathedral! Beautiful city.When was that picture taken?
