Imagine the thrill of explorers like Vasco da Gama setting sail from this very spot! Climb the narrow spiral staircase for panoramic views, then explore the echoing chambers where cannons once protected the city. Belém Tower isn’t just a beautiful landmark – it’s a portal into Lisbon’s adventurous past.

Discoveries Monument

Step onto Lisbon’s waterfront and let the Discoveries Monument transport you back to Portugal’s Age of Exploration. This towering stone sculpture depicts heroes like Henry the Navigator leading a bold charge toward the unknown, their ship-like form etched against the Lisbon sky. Don’t just admire it from afar! Ascend to the monument’s top for breathtaking views of the Tagus River and Belém district.

Empire Square

Praça do Império in Lisbon is a grand, open square that evokes Portugal’s historical ambitions. Built for the 1940 Portuguese World Exhibition, its gardens and monumental architecture offer a glimpse into a complex period of the country’s past.
