What To Expect
Meet your local guide in the centrally-located Terreiro do Paco, a sprawling square lined with shady arcades and historic architecture. Get a good overview and orientation of the city as you ride a local tram to the riverside Bel em district, and listen to stories about the area's remarkable art and culture. Enter the UNESCO-listed Monastery and Church of Jerónimos to discover graceful columns and stonework, then learn about the monks that prayed and worked here for 400 years. Hear stories about the powerful spice trader who built the monastery and church to celebrate the discoveries of Vasco da Gama, then visit the grave of the Portuguese explorer. Trace a route through Bel em's distinctive Manueline architecture, also known as Portuguese late Gothic, and take in the geometric beauty of the formal Gardens of Bel em. Enjoy time beside the Tagus River, where generations of Portuguese sailors set sail for unfamiliar oceans, and see the country's most iconic figures set into the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, a white stone monument at the river's edge. Take in the UNESCO-listed Bel em Tower, another Vasco da Gama tribute, then get a taste of Bel em's sweetest heritage at Past eis de Bel em, a historic bakery that's famed for creating Portugal's famous Pastel de Nata.
