Belém Lisbon’s Riverside Treasures Walking Tour

Explore Belém, the riverside district where Portugal’s Age of Discoveries began. Once a fishing village and later home to Portuguese nobility, Belém is filled with iconic monuments, grand architecture, and stories of the world’s first global empire. Your tour begins at Afonso de Albuquerque Square before strolling along the Tagus waterfront. See the Monument to the Discoveries, hear about explorers like Vasco da Gama and Henry the Navigator, and learn how a small country built territories across the globe. Continue to Belém’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower—and uncover the events, battles, and remarkable figures that shaped Portuguese history. Tours run rain or shine.
