Explore the Majestic Belém Tower

Getting There

• Car

  From Minho, take the A3 motorway south towards Lisbon. Continue on A3 until it merges with the A1 towards Lisbon. Follow signs for Lisbon and then take the A2 exit towards Lisbon, crossing the 25 de Abril Bridge. Once in Lisbon, follow signs for Belem. You'll want to exit onto Avenida de Brasília. Belém Tower will be located on your right along the river. Parking is available nearby, but be aware that it may incur additional costs.

• Train

  Start your journey at a train station in Minho (e.g., Braga or Guimarães). Take a train heading to Lisbon (Lisboa Santa Apolónia or Lisboa Oriente). Upon arriving in Lisbon, transfer to the Cascais line at Cais do Sodré station. Get off at the Belém station. From there, it's about a 15-minute walk to Belém Tower along the riverfront. Keep in mind that train tickets will have a cost, and check the schedules for the latest times.

• Bus

  Take a bus from Minho to Lisbon (you can find services from major towns like Braga or Guimarães). Once you arrive at Lisbon's Sete Rios bus terminal, transfer to the tram or the train. You can take the tram line 15E from Praça da Figueira or the train from Cais do Sodré to the Belém station. After disembarking, walk approximately 15 minutes along the river to reach Belém Tower. Bus tickets will vary in price depending on the provider, so check in advance.

• Public Transportation (Tram/Train from Lisbon)

  If you're already in Lisbon, you can take tram number 15E from Praça da Figueira or the Cais do Sodré train station to the Belém stop. Belém Tower is only a short walk from the tram stop. Note that tram tickets cost around €1.50.
