Tour description

Free Tour — Discover Belem‘s Grand History with Guide Annie & Dog Lilly - Walking Tour

(2-hour free walking tour with excellent ratings)

Description:

Come explore Belém (one of the most beautiful historic neighborhoods in Lisbon) with a warm-hearted local girl (me!) and my sweet dog, Lilly.

Portugal had massive influence in the world 500 years ago and we’ll discover the crucial role Belem played during that time. We’ll dive into Portugals famous Era of the Discoveries, hear the wild stories behind monuments like the Jerónimos Monastery, the Tower of Belém, and the Monument to the Discoveries.

You’ll taste the original Pastel de Belém (the one and only!), and walk by the beautiful riverside.

I’ll also tell you:

Where Portuguese presidents hang out,
And how sea monsters ended up in 16th-century maps!

Lilly often steals the show (she loves sneaking into photos), and I’ll make sure you walk away feeling like you just made a new Lisbon friend.

Key Highlights

Jerónimos Monastery (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Belém Tower & the Age of Discovery
Monument to the Discoveries (with secret explorer stories)
Taste the original Pastéis de Belém
Presidential palace
River walk & photo moments with Lilly!

Price: Free. But typically people like to make a donation at the end.
