Belem Tour With Boat Trip + Tram

Get immersed in the history of the charming harbour district with our Belem Tour With Boat Trip + Tram. This area has served as scenario to numerous disputed stories and relevant revolutions, slavery conflicts, the fearsome secret police or the Nazi gold. Come on board to our boat where we will definitely feel part of these Portuguese tropes when coming back from India, as we unfold the best stories and best kept secrets hidden between the huge walls of the city. Enjoy an unforgettable adventure across the Atlantic Ocean towards the Monument to the Discoveries. In addition, if you book this tour you will get a 24-hour Pass for the use of the boat, trams and elevators in Lisbon.

With the company of our Spanish speaking guide, we will admire the beauty of the jewels that better represent Belem: the Hieronymus Monastery, considered the most impressive one in Lisbon thanks to its architecture and large cloister; and the popular Belem Tower, with canyons and moats, built to defend the city and afterwards used as lighthouse and customs centre. Both monuments were named World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Our boat trip will take us to this amazing zone, by following the same route of the Portuguese naves when they came back from the Indies. We will discover how the rhinoceros arrived to Portugal from that distant continent, how the explorers conquered the world departing from Belem, and the darkest stories about slavery. We will then visit the old town through its narrow streets, full of the traditional sweets with cream known as pastéis de Belem, and smell the delicious smell to cinnamon pastries, such a pleasure for sweet lovers.

Join us and become an authentic pirate, live a funny adventure and explore each charming corner of one of the most special quarters in Lisbon, with our Belem Tour With Boat Trip + Tram.

Extra information: Only some areas are accessible (you have to go up and down stairs in an underpass of the train tracks between the Monastery and the Monument to the Discoverers)
