Come join me on this day full of history stories and local flavours! Discover the new found lands where the navigators arrived and from where they got back bringing so many exotic products, through the eyes of a monument dedicated to all these conquests. Let's meet up at a special place to taste the local crunchy custard tarts, sprinkled with one of my favourite spices that my ancestors brought from Asia: cinnamon, at the most famous place from where the original recipe comes from: Pastéis de Belém, opened since 1837. Afterwards, we'll visit the inside of the magnificient 1500's Jerónimos' Monastery (church+cloister), the jewel of Manueline Art in Portugal. Check all territories where the Portuguese arrived in a huge world map at your feet, by the Monument to the Discoveries - the caravel made of stone looking at the River flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Travel back in time until the XVI century and delight yourself by looking at the Belém Tower, which lays on River Tagus' light blue waters. Are you ready?
Over the course of 3h30, we'll discover Belém District: - Old Factory "Pastéis de Belém" (custard tarts) - Jerónimos' Monastery (church + cloister) - Monument to the Discoveries (outside) - Belém Tower (outside) Belém district is 4 miles/6km away from Lisbon's city centre, easily reachable by public transportation.
