The Jerónimos Monastery is a National Monument and was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Step onto these significant grounds for a snoop around inside, where you can explore the whole place and ponder its homage to Portuguese identity and culture. Don't forget to look up at the frescoed vaulted ceilings!

Take a seat in the 16th-century cloister and peer inside the former monks’ refectory. Not only is this a thrilling trip through Lisbon's history, the views over the Tagus River from the grounds are exceptional.

Travel back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of this ornate palace and garden. Known as Portugal's answer to Versailles, it was originally designed as a summer residence for the royal family, before King Pedro III transformed it into a full-fledged palace. Discover for yourself the majesty of the 18th-century aristocracy!

Belém Tower, or the Tower of St. Vincent, stands triumphantly on the banks of the River Tagus. This 16th-century keep is an icon of Lisbon, and a must-see while you're in the city.

With your digital Belém Tower tickets, you'll gawp up at the Manueline tower that helped protect the city for centuries. Admire its exquisite architecture decorated with sculptures, pillars, arches, gargoyles, and cupolas. 

Across the four-floor interior, you'll see old window cannons and climb spiral staircases. Your Belém Tower ticket grants you access to the Governor’s and King's Chambers, the Audience Room, 16th-century vaults in the Chapel, as well as one of the best views in Lisbon from the Tagus.

Leave dry land for an hour and get a new perspective on Lisbon from the Tagus. You'll be back to eating pastéis de nata before long, but first you'll get to see the beauty of the city's architecture from the water.

Your enthusiastic skipper knows the land (and water) like the back of his hand, and will tell you all about the city's history as you cruise along the waters of the Tagus River.

Spot some of Lisbon's most vibrant and atmospheric neighborhoods and don't miss a photo of the Christ the King monument up close!

Walking the hills of the city and enjoying all the pastéis de nata you can eat is a great way to experience Lisbon, but the Tagus is such a prominent part of the local landscape that it's worth spending some time on.

An experienced captain will take you from Belem towards the city center, passing beneath the lengthy span of the 25 de Abril Bridge on the way. Your captain will happily chat with you and point out the sights as you sail past them.

The crew can answer any questions you have about the local area as you sail past important landmarks like Belem Tower, the 25 de Abril Bridge, the Christ the King monument, and more. A refreshing beverage is included in your ticket so you can truly drink in the beauty of the Portuguese capital.
