About this experience
I’m Angela, an official guide and proud resident of Belém, home to two UNESCO World Heritage monuments—the iconic Belém Tower and the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery.
Join me on an exceptional 3-hour tour filled with unforgettable memories of Lisbon’s rich history, culture, and iconic landmarks.
Meet me in front of the National Palace of Belém, in the center of the Afonso de Albuquerque Garden next to the statue, and step back into the golden age of Portuguese discoveries. Learn about the origins of Portugal and hear fascinating legends that shaped the nation.
Savor a pastéis de Belém, Lisbon’s famous egg tart, before visiting the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery. Skip the lines and enjoy a guided tour of its stunning late Gothic cloister.
Stroll along the Tagus River to see a striking 20th-century monument honoring Portugal’s explorers, then continue to the iconic Belém Tower, where the Atlantic meets the river for a breathtaking finale to your unforgettable experience.
