Belém is the "capital of the Portuguese Discoveries"
and a photographer's paradise. You can spend an entire
day exploring this neighborhood: monuments (Jerónimos
Monastery, Belém Tower, Monument to the Discoveries),
museums (Coach Museum, Centro Cultural de Belém) and
breathtaking views of the Tagus river will make your
visit worth your time. Belém also offers a variety of
restaurants and cafes, namely the famous - and
...More
delicious - "Pastéis de Belém" (typical Portuguese
custard tarts; make sure you buy an extra box of
those!). Easily accessible from Lisbon's historic
center, Belém is a must-do, especially if you're
spending more than one day visiting the Portuguese
capital.
