Belém

After visiting the historic center, it is essential to visit the Belém neighborhood, which is located next to the river, almost on the outskirts of the city. It is very well served by public transport from the Baixa area, and this is a better option than driving.

What makes Belém attractive is its typically Portuguese architecture, in Manueline Gothic style, mostly late medieval, and it is home to two of Lisbon's main historical-artistic monuments, the early 16th century Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower. Belém is also home to the Monument to the Discoverers, which depicts some of the main Portuguese navigators in history, making it a must-see for history lovers.

And you can't leave Bélem without tasting the famous Belém cream cakes.
