A journey to the neighborhood of the Portuguese Maritime Expansion, Belém. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was from here that the caravels set sail and where news of the discoveries arrived. Masses were celebrated here before the fleets departed, and the beach was then known as the "Tears Beach." Once an important harbor, Belém underwent a transformation following the 1755 earthquake and, more recently, a new urban design with the realization of the Portuguese World Exhibition by the Estado Novo in 1940. Now revitalized, this riverside area has become a pleasant leisure area and an important cultural and museum hub. Along the way, we will pass by the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower (Unesco-listed monuments), taste the famous Belém pastries, visit the Ermida de São Jerónimo viewpoint, the monument honoring the achievements of Portuguese navigators (the Padrão), and the most recent museum in Lisbon, the MAAT. We'll return along the river, passing through the Docks.
