2025 Belem Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Lisboa, or Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city that effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern vibrancy. Set across seven hills overlooking the sparkling Tagus River, Lisbon enchants visitors with its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively atmosphere. The heart of the city lies in its historic neighborhoods. Alfama, the oldest district, is a maze of narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the soulful sounds of fado music drifting from local taverns. From here, a climb up to São Jorge Castle rewards visitors with panoramic views of the city’s red-tiled rooftops and the river. In contrast, the Baixa district offers grand squares like Praça do Comércio, elegant boulevards, and bustling shops. Lisbon’s architectural wonders include the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower, both reflecting the city’s maritime heritage during the Age of Discoveries. A visit to Belém also means sampling the famous pastéis de nata (custard tarts) at Pastéis de Belém, a quintessential Lisbon experience. The city’s modern side shines in neighborhoods like Chiado and Bairro Alto, where trendy cafes, boutique stores, and vibrant nightlife thrive. For a contemporary twist, the Parque das Nações district offers innovative design and attractions like the Oceanário de Lisboa, one of Europe’s largest aquariums. Lisbon’s hills are best explored on the iconic tram 28, which winds through the city’s most picturesque streets. Evenings are perfect for riverside strolls or enjoying a glass of Portuguese wine at a miradouro (viewpoint) as the sun sets. Warm and welcoming, Lisbon’s charm lies in its balance of tradition and modernity. Its stunning vistas, rich cultural heritage, and laid-back vibe make it a destination that lingers in your heart long after you’ve left.

Loved my time at MAAT! The museum is composed of three main parts. The first is located in the old power plant (Tejo Power Station), the garden (which I didn't explore much), and the new building. The museum tends to focus on quality rather than quantity. They have a total of 3-4 exhibits, but they are quite large in scale. The new building itself is beautiful, a strange space that is long and narrow without straight lines. What exhibitions you get to see depends on your luck, as this space requires something dramatic. It reminds one of the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the Tate Modern in London. At the top of MAAT, there is a lovely terrace offering stunning views of the Tagus River and its bridges, along with a nice café. Behind the building, there is a bridge leading to the street, connecting to nearby tram and bus stops, making it convenient to combine your visit with other major attractions in the Belém area, such as the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, National Coach Museum, and the famous Pastéis de Belém. If you are staying in Lisbon for a few days, a visit to MAAT is highly recommended.

It is a palace located in the prime area of Belém, Lisbon. Originally built during the monarchy, this former palace now serves as the residence of the President of the Republic. Situated in Belém, adjacent to the Tagus River, it is in a tourist area with many important museums and close to the Jerónimos Monastery. Visits are not random and are only occasionally open to the public on announced dates. For those interested in visiting, certain rules must be followed, starting with booking in advance and confirming a certain amount beforehand.

📍Bica Funicular - Lg. Calhariz, Funicular da Bica (p2) The Bica Funicular is a bit different from the Santa Justa Lift, as it's a little yellow tram that climbs up the hill. This location is at the top end of the slope, where you can walk down slowly and see a yellow tram pass by every few minutes 🚡. Standing on the slope, you can capture the distant sea and two yellow trams appearing at the same time, or find a crossroad to take a side shot of the tram passing by, which is very beautiful! 📍Praça Dom Pedro IV (p3) There are several flower shops in front of the square, where vendors sell colorful fresh flowers 💐, and the jacarandas on both sides are blooming splendidly. Such scenery leaves me at a loss for words. 📍O Adriano Restaurant (p4/5) We discovered this place on our way from Praça Dom Pedro IV to the Bica Funicular. Along the way, you can see the monument of Dom Pedro IV and the distant São Jorge Castle. The location is a restaurant! 📍Casa Portuguesa do Pastel de Bacalhau (p6) This picture was taken on the street next to this restaurant. You can directly locate this restaurant and walk down the road to reach the Commerce Square and the Arch of Triumph. 📍Miradouro de Santa Luzia (p7) This viewpoint does not require an entrance fee and is quite crowded. Follow the way up from the Lisbon Cathedral, and I recommend visiting at sunset 🌇 to see the distant sea. 📍Largo do Correio Mor (p8) We took photos from the top of the slope, where the jacarandas are really photogenic, and there's also a spiral staircase that makes for great shots! 📍Belém Tower (p9) We took photos from the park behind the Belém Tower using a telephoto lens, and it's super beautiful!

Traveling and taking photos in Portugal is a great choice for you. The colorful houses built on the hillsides🏠, the ancient trams🚌, the ubiquitous taverns🍷, the romantic Fado music🎵... Walking through the streets and alleys, listening to the old ding-ding sound of the trams, the air is filled with the sweet aroma of Portuguese egg tarts, it's like entering a dopamine-filled fairy tale world - Lisbon is known as the 'City of Seven Hills,' and compared to the tourist-packed Barcelona and Madrid, it has more of a living atmosphere, with a history older than Paris and London, and the key is that the prices are really super beautiful, making it a great destination for budget travelers~ - ✅Alfama District: The oldest district in Lisbon, with many historical monuments and landscapes. For tourists, Alfama is the place to experience the authentic Lisbon life. Walking around this old district is the best way to understand the city's rise and fall and its lively atmosphere. - ✅Tram 28: The city's name, Lisbon, is truly embodied by Tram 28. It is one of the oldest trams in Europe. The tram traveling through the streets, hillsides, and in front of churches is one of the most representative postcard images of Lisbon. The more you ride, the more you'll love Lisbon. - ✅St. George's Castle: This is the highest point in the old district. Climbing up to the castle at dusk, with the colorful houses and the glittering sea, playing guitar and singing with a few good friends, waiting for the sunset to reveal dreamy colors, is the most romantic thing I can think of. - ✅Thieves Market: In the Alfama district's Santa Clara Square, every Tuesday and Saturday it turns into a bustling market. For those who like vintage items, or want to find some souvenirs, this is heaven. From tableware, decorations, records, books, cameras... everything is available, and the prices are beautiful and acceptable. - ✅Portuguese Egg Tarts: How can you come to Portugal and not try the authentic Portuguese egg tarts? Although egg tarts are a traditional dessert known to every household, and can be bought in any street or alley, to eat the most authentic and historic egg tarts, you still have to go to the century-old shop Pastéis de Belém in the suburb of Lisbon, Belem. - ✅Fado Music: In Lisbon's seaside, coffee spots, street shops, or anywhere else, you can hear the melodious and touching Fado. With over a hundred years of history, Fado music has been integrated into Lisbon's DNA, including graffiti elements of Fado that fill every corner of the streets.

#thingstodo Jerónimos Monastery is one of the must visited place in Lisbon and it is located near to the Tagus river. The ticket is around €10 for adult and I will say this is fair price! The inside of the buildings are beautiful and huge . The rooms are unique and special with 16th century architecture style. Furthermore, I really admired the garden what it looks like and overall it was an unforgettable experience to visit one of the oldest buildings in Lisbon! #Lisbon

#timetotravel I visited the Belem Tower after its opening hours so I was not able to go in an only looked at it from the outside. But nonetheless, I believe it was still worth visiting and taking pictures with it on the outside. It is because what are the odds you will find another historical monument by the port!! The tower itself is truly beautiful and is a well maintained historical monument. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Lisbon. There are also loads of cafe and restaurants near by if you want to take a break from exploring. #境外遊 #belem #lisbon #portugal

#wecreate Welcome to the breathtaking Jerónimos Cathedral, a true architectural masterpiece in Lisbon! 🌇✨ This iconic cathedral, also known as the Hieronymites Monastery, stands as a symbol of Portugal's rich history and religious heritage. 🇵🇹⛪️ Immerse yourself in the stunning Gothic Manueline style, adorned with intricate carvings, vaulted ceilings, and magnificent stained glass windows. Explore the cloisters, where tranquil gardens and peaceful fountains create a serene ambiance. 🌿💦 #JerónimosCathedral #LisbonSights #ArchitecturalMarvel #CulturalHeritage #GothicManueline #UNESCOWorldHeritage #ExploreLisbon

#wecreate The monastery itself is a work of art and definitely worth a visit. Once you arrive you will see two queues. The shorter one is typically for the church (free to visit) and the longer one will be for the monastery (you need to have a ticket). The monastery hosted the famous signing of the 2007 Treaty of Lisbon which was held in the cloister of the monument. The Lisbon card states you get fast track however, don’t be fooled, it just means you get the entrance, there isn’t a “fast-track” queue. We suggest you head over there first thing in the morning, the queue can be between 1-2h wait time at midday. #ExploreLisbon #TravelInspiration #MustVisitDestination #InstaWorthySpot #IconicMonastery #UnescoWorldHeritage

#wecreate The building is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome, it became the necropolis of the Portuguese royal dynasty of Aviz in the 16th century but was secularized on 28 December 1833. The church and the monastery, like the nearby Torre de Belém and Padrão dos Descobrimentos, symbolise the Portuguese Age of Discovery and are among the main tourist attractions of Lisbon. In 1983, UNESCO formally designated the Monastery of the Hieronymites and Tower of Belém as a World Heritage Site. #JerónimosMonastery #LisbonLandmark #ArchitecturalSplendor #HistoricalGem #CulturalTreasure #MonumentalBeauty #GothicMarvel #PortugueseHistory #ExploreLisbon #TravelInspiration

Originators of my favorite: 蛋挞. There’s so much to see in #lisbon otherwise known as Lisboa. From the architect, history, sports, food and coastline beauty- it’s definitely worth the visit. Famous on port wine and seafood, I didn’t know anything about the country besides Cristiano Ronaldo being from there. I was most surprised how diverse the country is. I met so many people from Brazil, Angola and Cape Verde. I’m excited to go back and explore even more outside the city. #touristsattraction #portugal

Visit Belem where you can see the ponte 25 de Abril and de Cristo Rei. You can also see the historical monuments such as the Padrao de Descobrimentos and Torre de Belem. To follow this up you can eat the best pastel de Belem at the cafe where they have been making it since 1837.Fun fact: the real name of the tart is pastel de Belem. Only pastries that come out of their ovens can be called pastéis de Belém, otherwise if manufactured by a third party it has to be called pastel de nata. To follow this amazing experience you can even take a boat trip across the channel to see the beauty of Belem .

If you are planning to go to Portugal, I believe you are also ready for a ton of Portuguese egg custard tart hunting. For that, you would not want to miss this iconic store - Pastel de Belém, which literally in Portuguese means egg tart. Here’s a little fun history. The birthplace of Pastel de Belém is Lisbon. The pastries were created by Catholic monks of Jerónimos Monastery in Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon, around the beginning of the 18th century. The monks had relocated from France, where similar sweets were widely available. So, Pastel de Belém actually invented the famous egg tart back in 1837. After all these years, the original still remains the best from the taste and the scent imo. The texture is also rich, and the appearance is so pleasing. Really enjoyed it. In this post I also shared some other photos of coffee from a random cafe on the street, another egg tart stores and Portuguese pork sandwich from i think a mall stall. Anyway, enjoy your egg tarts in Lisbon! #lisbon #lisboa #lisbonfood #lisbonfoodguide #portugal

This museum is a MUST while you are in Lisbon. “Museu Nacional do Coche” has many different vehicles from the XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX Century. 👏🏻Those are the real vehicles from those times, many of them were produced in France, Spain or Portugal and were used by Kings and Queens. The admission fee is 10 euros. I strongly recommend you to go with time cause the museum is big and you may need some hours there if you want to see everything. They have screens for each vehicle in four languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese and French) explaining who owned the vehicle and when. It is one of the best museums in Lisbon in my opinion! #museumquest#summervacation

Everyone who travels to Lisbon, the Jeronimo Monastery and the church are the places to be beaten. The monastery is adjacent to the entrance to the church and needs to be lined up separately. It is recommended to choose the right team according to the length and time of the team. The shape of the monastery is more refined, attracting a large number of tourists to take pictures, and the church is less, but it does not affect his significance. Heroes who lived in the world hundreds of years ago are sleeping here.

Known as Pasteis de Nata in Portugal, the egg tart is a well-known traditional dim sum that is available in Lisbon's streets. The most authentic old Portuguese egg tart shop is not far from the Jeronimos Monastery. That is the century-old shop Pastis de Belm It is said that in 1837, Pastis de Belm opened its store next to the sugar cane factory. Since then, the store has been following the traditional ancient "secret", and the main pastry chef has personally prepared in the secret room, and now only three people have mastered the method of egg tart ingredients Belem tart shop, It is the legendary century-old shop the first egg tart shop in the world opened in 1837. It produces the most authentic Portuguese egg tarts. The egg tarts have crispy egg tarts and are very smooth, with the natural fragrance of egg milk. Powder or cinnamon on top, and a cup of bica (espresso) egg tart is a famous Portuguese dessert, well received tart each 1.06 euros, about 8 yuan a

#getgoing2025 Pastéis de Belém I visited this cafe during my trip to Lisbon to try the Portuguese specialty, the egg tart. There are many egg tart stores in Lisbon, but this one is the most famous. I had two and they were so delicious I wanted more😆 The price is also very reasonable at 1.4 euros each. It is worth the trip. Highly recommended!👌 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Pastéis de Belém 📍Address: R. de Belém 84 92, 1300-085 Lisboa, Portugal 💞Reasons to Recommend: Delicious sweets ⋆ ･⋆ ･⋆ ･⋆ ⁡ #trip #travel #traveling #ポルトガル旅行 #Portugal #Lisbon #Lisboa

#chillandthrill #tropicalretreats #portugal It was sunny summer when I was in Portugal. Went to Belem Tower by train from Lisbon and it took around one hour. It is situated in riverbank of Tagus River. When we arrive, we will pass a big park with trees and some food and drink stalls. The tower is was built in 15th century as a maritime defense system, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entrance fee is sold in official website of Belem Tower and as of 2024 the fee is €15.

Belem Tower is a beautiful fortified mediaeval tower a little way outside the city centre of Lisbon. From Lisbon city centre the tower can easily be reached via Public Transport. Belem tower is an architectural marvel with beautiful intricate stone carvings, it was really designed to impress but also serve as a functional fortified tower. When visiting Belem Tower or the Jerónimos Monastery don’t forget to pop into Pastéis de Belém to try their authentic and traditional custard tarts! #getgoing2025 #belem #belemtower #lisbon #portugal

Jerónimos Monastery really is a monastic marvel! A Gothic masterpiece dating from the 1500s. The monastery along with the nearby Belem Tower are UNESCO world Heritage sites. The monastery stonework and the intricate carving is spellbinding and the more you look the more you see! If you’re planning on visiting Lisbon in 2025 the Jerónimos Monastery is a must. I recommend getting to the monastery early as the queues can become very long later in the day. And while you’re in the area visiting the monastery, make sure you take the time to pop into Pastéis de Belém to try their authentic custard tarts. The monastery can be reached easily by public transport from Lisbon city centre. #getgoing2025 #portugal #jerónimosmonastery #lisbon #portugal
