About this event

Welcome to Belém, the birthplace of the Age of Discoveries! As we walk together through these iconic streets, you'll get a glimpse into one of the most fascinating chapters of Portugal’s history. We'll start with the famous Pastéis de Belém, where you can taste the original custard tarts that have been delighting locals for over a century.

As we make our way to the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, I’ll share stories of the great explorers who set sail from this very spot, men like Vasco da Gama, whose voyages changed the course of world history. You’ll hear how Portugal’s golden age of exploration shaped global trade routes and sparked cultural exchanges that still influence the country today.

But Belém isn't just about the past, it’s also a vibrant hub of modern culture. Along the way, we’ll stop to admire striking street art, visit contemporary museums, and see stunning examples of Manueline architecture that beautifully blend history with innovation.

By the end of our walk, you’ll not only know more about Lisbon's rich maritime legacy, you’ll have experienced the flavors, stories, and soul of Belém itself.
