Description
Lisbon looks easy until you reach Belém. The Jerónimos Monastery queue can swallow two hours, Belém Tower now caps entry at 900 visitors a day, and Belém sits six kilometres from the centre. We pre-book your combined timed-entry tickets and drive you there in comfort, so the capital is the day you pictured, not a line.

Itinerary
Jeronimos Monastery
A monument to the wealth of the Age of Discoveries, it is the pinnacle of Manueline architecture of the period. It was commissioned by King Manuel I around 1501, shortly after Vasco da Gama's return.
Torre de Belem
Commissioned by King Manuel I, the tower was built from 1515 to 1521 to be a fortress in the middle of the Tagus. The starting point for the Discoveries' navigators, this Manueline jewel became the symbol of Portuguese expansion.
Padrao Dos Descobrimentos
Perched high on the riverbank in Belém, this massive monument was built in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.
Alfama
A fascinating neighbourhood at any time of the day but which comes alive in the early evening when the inhabitants take to the streets and the taverns start to fill up. This is a walking tour passing by Castle S. Jorge, Igreja de Santo Antonio and Cathedral of Lisbon (Sé).
