Embark on a Journey of Adventure and Uncover the Historic Splendor of Belem.

Is a neighborhood full of captivating history and culture. Located in the western part of Lisbon, this tranquil district holds onto its traditional roots while also providing travelers with all of the modern amenities they could desire. From grand monuments to delicious local cuisine, Belem has something for everyone!

????Begin your exploration of Belem at the majestic Mosteiro dos Jeronimos - it's one of Portugal’s most impressive cultural sites and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in 1501, this monastery showcases timeless gothic and Manueline architecture that simply can't be found anywhere else. After marveling at the beautiful architecture, stroll through the nearby gardens where you can find statues inspired by Portuguese maritime expeditions from centuries ago.

????No visit to Belem is complete without tasting the famous pastel de nata from Antiga Confeitaria de Belem or savory fish dishes from Portugalia - you won't be disappointed! But if culinary adventures aren’t your thing – then don’t worry: Belem offers plenty of other attractions as well.

????Head over to Torre de Belém - an iconic defensive tower that was built in 1515 to protect the mouth of River Tagus against enemy ships. This fortification is now considered a symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discovery and stands as one of Lisbon’s most beloved landmarks.

????Finally, no trip to this area would be complete without visiting Padrão dos Descobrimentos – a monument dedicated to Portugal's great explorations.

????Here are the best hotels to stay in the area: Altis Belém Hotel & Spa 5* is an unparalleled 5-star design hotel in Lisbon's beautiful Belém area. From its breathtaking views of the Tagus River to its modern take on Portugal's Golden Ages during the Age of Discovery.

????️Experience the Michelin Star-rated Restaurant Feitoria, a culinary journey that will linger in your memory for a long time. And relax and rejuvenate at the award-winning BSpa by Karin Herzog—the only one of its kind in Portugal.
