The Majestic Belém Tower: A Lisbon Icon

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start by heading towards Lisbon from your location in Estremadura. Use the A2 or A5 highways towards Lisbon. Once you approach Lisbon, follow signs for 'Belém' and 'Monuments.' Take the exit for Av. da Índia, then turn onto Av. Brasília. The Belém Tower will be on your right. Keep in mind that there is limited parking in the area, and you may need to pay for parking, which can range from €1 to €2 per hour. Additionally, be aware of traffic, especially during peak hours.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take the train from various locations in Estremadura to Lisbon. The most convenient option is to take a train to Cais do Sodré station in Lisbon. From there, transfer to the Cascais train line and get off at Belém station. Once you exit the station, it's about a 15-minute walk to Belém Tower. Follow the signs towards the riverfront and enjoy the beautiful view as you stroll along the path. Alternatively, you can take tram 15E from Praça da Figueira or Praça do Comércio directly to Belém, getting off at the 'Belém' stop.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you're looking for convenience, consider taking a taxi or rideshare service (such as Uber) to Belém Tower. Simply provide the driver with the address 'Av. Brasília, 1400-038 Lisboa.' This option is great if you are traveling with luggage or prefer not to navigate public transportation. The cost will vary depending on your starting location, but you can expect to pay around €10 to €20 for a ride from central Lisbon to Belém.
