What to See in Belem: Useful Guide to Lisbon’s Age of Discovery
Belém is Lisbon’s riverside district where Portugal’s Age of Discovery comes alive. The must-see landmarks include the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries. Beyond these, explore modern art at the Museu Coleção Berardo, stroll through the Tropical Botanical Garden, and admire the swooping architecture of MAAT. No visit is complete without tasting the iconic Pastéis de Belém—skip the takeaway line and head inside for table service and azulejo-tiled charm.
