Visit historic towers and walk through monastery cloisters
Join a half-day small-group tour of Lisbon to see important historical and cultural landmarks. Start at the Belém Tower, a Manueline defense structure from Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Nearby, see the Monument to the Discoveries, dedicated to the navigators who brought fame to Portugal. It is shaped like a ship’s prow. Visit the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and walk through its detailed cloisters, reflecting Portugal’s seafaring past. In Alfama, walk through narrow streets, find viewpoints, and listen to the fado music that fills the neighborhood. Finish the tour at key squares like the riverside Praça do Comércio, Rossio, and Praça Marquês de Pombal.
