Begin your saga at the Jerónimos Monastery, a testament to Portugal's Age of Discoveries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An expert English-speaking guide will peel back the layers of history embedded in this grand edifice, crafted in intricate Manueline style. Spot maritime elements like ropes, knots, and sea creatures as your guide shares how global exploration brought wealth and luxuries to Portugal.
Your walk along the River Tagus will be dotted with charming river-side cafes, palm trees, modern art installations, and ancient landmarks. Stop to admire the Monument to the Discoveries featuring Vasco da Gama and Henry the Navigator, among other heroic Portuguese explorers. The experience culminates at the majestic Belém Tower, another UNESCO site, adorned with carvings of crosses, armillary spheres, and ropes. Marvel at its intricate design as your guide reveals the tactical significance of its position and how it defended the city during Portugal’s height of naval power. Apart from being a military watchtower, Belém was where brave explorers set sail into the unknown, a ceremonial gateway for those arriving in Lisbon, and even a prison during political unrest.
