Belém Free Walking Tour: History versus Modern Facts

The tour lasts 3 hours
Available in English and Spanish

Description

On the outskirts of the historical city center of Lisbon lays the district that saw a whole nation sail towards new worlds. Some would never come back and others would return with tales and riches and a name to be written in History. Stretching along the Tagus River this district has a flat landscape filled with parks, museums, and historical monuments some of which are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. And on a totally different level, this is the neighbourhood where you can find and try the famous Pastel de Belém!

Learn the history and legends of the old town's most representative neighbourhoods, told by real local guides, getting a truly personal and insightful view of Lisbon, walking through the city's narrow alleys up and downhill, lost in time on a genuine "back to the past" tour.

Along the way, we will be visiting points of interest in the historic center of the city on an entertaining and informal guided tour where history, stories, and fun facts combine together.
