What to expect
Lisbon Cathedral
Is the main cathedral of the Portugal capital that was built in the mid XII century. Here you will find out why the outside facade reminds of a fortress wall.
Pastéis de Belém
Alongside history and tradition, Pastéis de Belém is widely recognised as the patisserie to sample the authentic pastel de nata (custard tart) in Lisbon. In 1837, the tarts started to be produced in new premises by pastry chefs, the only ones to whom the secret monastery recipe was passed on. Since then, the original recipe hasn’t changed, and it’s still a secret today, known by only a few, and kept in what is known as the “secret room”.
Monument to the Discoveries
52 metres tall, was designed to commemorate the Age of Discoveries in Portugal. It was inaugurated in 1960, on the fifth centenary of one of the country’s great discoverers, Prince Henry the Navigator, who discovered the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde. The Monument to the Discoveries is made up of a group of sculptures that represent the prow of a caravel (a small sailing ship constructed by the Portuguese to explore the Atlantic Ocean). Leading the ship is Prince Henry the Navigator and behind him are many other great Portuguese discoverers.
Jerónimos Monastery
The Jerónimos Monastery, also called Hieronymites Monastery, is along with the Tower of Belém, one of the most visited sites in Lisbon. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1983.
Torre de Belem
Built in the sixteenth century to guard the entrance to the harbour, Belém Tower is one of the city’s architectural wonders. It was used as a State prison for several centuries, and today is a symbol of the Portuguese capital.
Parque Eduardo VII
It is one of the greatest viewpoints over the city. From here you can easily observe the Liberty Avenue and Marquis de Pombal Square - the portuguese minister who ruled the country after the big earthquake of 1755 and who rebuilt the city.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
