Lisbon Trip – A Day Out in Belem

This is the third of 4 sets of pictures from my travels in Lisbon, Portugal which I shared with Deborah Moore this morning on Fairchild Radio. This post highlights our day out in Belem where most of the well known attractions are located and it is about 15 minutes away from Lisbon by car. Thanks for letting me share my experiences with you.

Xoxo,

Mimi

#1. Belem Tower

Belem Tower lies along the edge of the Tagus River – a UNESCO heritage site, designed as a defence system for the mouth of the Tagus. The building was completed in 1519. We took at taxi to Belem Tower. (From Chiado, it is only a 15 min ride and taxi fares are very reasonable in Lisbon).

 

#2. Jerónimos Monastery

A 20 min walk from Belem tower is the Monastery of Jerónimos, former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome. one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline ( aspects of Late Gothic architecture with influences of the Spanish Plateresque style, Mudéjar, Italian urban architecture, and Flemish elements) style of architecture in Lisbon.

 

#3. Other things to do in Belem

Belem Custard Tarts – Presidential Palace – Carriage Museum

The famous Portuguese custard tarts from Pasteis De Belem. The recipe is 170 years old and only taught to 3 chefs at a time. You can hear the shell just crackles once you bite into it! The best custart tarts I’ve had yet.
