Your guide will meet you at the previously agreed meeting point and accompany you throughout the tour. From there, head to Belém, one of Lisbon’s most historic areas, known for its important monuments and connection to Portugal’s maritime history.
Visit the impressive Jerónimos Monastery, commissioned by King Manuel I and inaugurated in 1495. Admire its magnificent Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline architecture, considered one of the finest examples in Lisbon. The monastery was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
Discover the iconic Belém Tower, built in the early 16th century as a defensive fortress at the entrance of the Tagus River. The tower is also closely connected to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries, as it was located near the area from which Portuguese explorers set sail. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Visit the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, an impressive monument overlooking the Tagus River. Dedicated to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries, it celebrates the explorers, navigators, and historical figures who played a role in Portugal’s maritime expansion during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Take a break and enjoy lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant. This is a great opportunity to relax and taste a typical local dish while experiencing some of the country’s authentic gastronomy.
Explore Praça do Comércio, one of Lisbon’s most impressive squares, traditionally known as Terreiro do Paço. The square was once home to the Royal Palace, which was destroyed in the devastating 1755 earthquake and later rebuilt as part of Lisbon’s Pombaline city center.
Finish your sightseeing in Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest and most charming neighborhood, known for its narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses, traditional Portuguese tiles, and vibrant atmosphere. As the heart of Fado music, Alfama is filled with historic landmarks, hidden courtyards, and breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the Tagus River, offering an authentic glimpse into Lisbon’s local culture and making it a must-visit for any traveler.
