Hello, I'm Karla, and during my time living in Lisbon, I've explored it on foot, and this city constantly surprises me with a new corner. I have a degree in History and am specializing in the History of the Discoveries in Portugal, and I love showcasing Lisbon and its diverse facets, highlighting the richness of its people and culture.

Tour description
I invite you to walk through more than 500 years of history in the beautiful neighborhood of Belém. We will meet at Afonso de Albuquerque Square to learn about the monumental and unique aspects of Portugal's history through this neighborhood. In its corners, we will find hidden stories that will connect us with unexpected events, both inside and outside of Portugal, leading us to the origins of the delicious pastéis de Belém.
We will learn more about the Jerónimos Monastery and the Empire Square, in an unexpected leap between the distant past and the present, to continue at the Rose of the Winds and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, and end at the Belém Tower. If you love history, this tour is for you.
