Tour of Belém: Discovering the Iconic Neighborhood of Lisbon
Tour description
How did a small nation like Portugal become the world's first global empire? What is the story behind the delicious Pastel de Belém? Where is Vasco da Gama buried?
If you're curious to discover the answers to these questions, you can't miss joining my free tour of Belém, the place from where Portuguese navigators set off in search of new maritime routes.
We will start by discussing the importance of the military leader Afonso de Albuquerque, stop to taste the authentic and unique Pastel de Belém, admire the imposing Jerónimos Monastery, and enter the Church of Santa Maria. We will continue to the Monument to the Discoveries with the Wind Rose and conclude, after a pleasant walk along the seashore, at the Belém Tower, one of Lisbon's symbols and one of the city's most famous landmarks.
Don't miss the opportunity to join me in this immersion into the past filled with anecdotes, legends, and curiosities.
