Overview

Embark on our Belém Free Walking Tour, where Lisbon's gateway to the Age of Discovery awaits. Start amidst the verdant splendor of Afonso de Albuquerque Gardens, unveiling Portugal's dominion in the East. Surrender to the allure of Pastéis de Belém, these custard tarts are not just a treat. They're a legend. Marvel at the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO marvel and tribute to the Age of Discovery. Witness innovation at the Monument to the Discoveries, where tales of daring explorers like Vasco da Gama come alive. Our journey crescendos at the iconic Belém Tower, with the Tagus River setting a perfect scene for tales of adventure. This tour is more than a walk; it's a voyage through history, flavor, and the spirit of exploration. From the strategic genius of Albuquerque to the pioneering spirit at the Compass Rose, every step in Belém is a discovery. Join us, embrace Lisbon's explorer spirit, and ignite your own sense of adventure. This isn't just a tour; it's a journey to the heart of discovery.

Things to note

Bem-vindos a Belém and the Blue Umbrella company Take!
Belém, where everything began. The Portugal of the Infante gave "new worlds to the world" (Camões), fulfilling a higher purpose for "God wills, man dreams, the work is born" (Pessoa). Belém, where World Heritage Monuments face the river as once Portuguese sailors faced the Atlantic and the unknown.
