Acerca de esta actividad
The Portuguese capital presents many reasons to visit for you: A rich heritage, historical neighbourhoods, the culture of fado and, of course, the delicious traditional sweets, Pasteis de Belem. In Belem, you could spend several hours contemplating The Monastery of Jeronimos, one of the most appealing and imposing monuments of the city, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage. When visiting its church, also Manueline style, be amazed at the impressive interior. Be sure to notice the tombs of renowned personalities from Portugal History such as Vasco da Gama, Luiz de Camoes and, among others, like King D.Manuel. At the National Coach Museum, enjoy the most remarkable collection of the World within the genre. This visit allows you to understand the technical and artistic evolution of the means of transport used by the European court until the appearance of the car. Get to know the new museum building, which opened in May 2015. Next, to the Tagus River, you will find The Belem Tower, an emblematic landmark of the Portuguese Discoveries: a fortress of the Tagus estuary and a starting point for navigators such as Vasco Da Gama for India and Pedro Alvares Cabral for Brazil, connecting Europe to the rest of the world. Next, The Monument of Discoveries, an imposing monument shaped as a caravel that shows important characters linked to the Discoveries and the glorious past of Portugal. In the city centre, enjoy the beautiful Comercio Square. One of the largest European Squares once the royal palace of Portugal, now hosts some Portuguese Government Ministries. Here, you can also find the oldest cafe in town, the famous “Martinho da Arcada”, which was usually frequented by the known Portuguese writer, Fernando Pessoa. We arrived in Alfama, one of the oldest and most authentic neighbourhoods in the city, a place of hidden corners and narrow streets, where it is worth losing. On the way back to Marques de Pombal Square, contemplate the beautiful squares of D. Pedro IV, better known as Rossio, and Restauradores before entering in Liberdade Avenue, the Lisbon version of the Parisian Champs-Elysees flanked by lovely old buildings, theatres and large luxury shops.
