Travel back to the extraordinary Age of Discoveries on a 3-hour walking tour through Belém, Lisbon's historic waterfront district. Discover the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, learn the story behind Portugal's maritime expansion, and hear about the explorers who sailed from the Tagus in search of new routes to Africa, Asia and the Americas. But this isn't simply a story of famous explorers and heroic voyages. We'll also explore the human and global consequences of Portuguese expansion, giving you a fuller understanding of how the Age of Discoveries transformed Portugal — and the wider world. Along the way, we'll uncover the stories behind Vasco da Gama, Henry the Navigator and other figures of Portugal's maritime history, explore the symbolism of the Monument to the Discoveries and stand beside the Tagus where ships once departed on extraordinary voyages. And no visit to Belém would be complete without tasting one of Lisbon's most famous treats: a traditional pastel de nata. We'll finish at the iconic Belém Tower, one of Lisbon's most recognizable landmarks and a powerful symbol of the city's connection with the sea. Come for the monuments. Leave understanding the story.
