(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Torre de Belem
Belém Tower: A Lisbon Icon Standing majestically on the Tagus River, the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) is a jewel of Manueline architecture and a symbol of Portugal's Age of Discoveries. Built in the early 16th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site served as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon and a fortress protecting the city. Its intricate stonework, Moorish-inspired watchtowers, and delicate balconies tell tales of intrepid explorers and epic voyages. It's an unmissable landmark that embodies Lisbon's maritime heritage.
Belem Lighthouse
The Belém Lighthouse: A Modern Beacon on the Tagus Perched on the northern bank of the Tagus River, near Lisbon's iconic Monument to the Discoveries, stands the so-called Belém Lighthouse. Though not an ancient seafaring beacon, this slender, reddish-brown tower—built in the 1940s—has quietly earned its place in the maritime rhythm of the city. Officially functioning as a tidal gauge and visual aid to river navigation, it helps guide vessels through Lisbon’s busy harbor. Its modernist lines and warm hue contrast strikingly with the surrounding historical architecture, offering not only practical utility but also a compelling backdrop for photos—a quiet testament to Lisbon’s enduring bond with the sea
Padrao dos Descobrimentos
Padrão dos Descobrimentos: Monument to the Age of Exploration Rising majestically on the northern bank of the Tagus River, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos celebrates Portugal’s legendary Age of Discovery. Shaped like a ship’s prow and flanked by statues of fearless navigators, kings, and explorers—led by Prince Henry the Navigator—it honors the bold visionaries who charted new worlds. Built in 1960 to commemorate 500 years since Henry’s death, the monument invites visitors to reflect on an era that reshaped global history
