Overview of your Lisbon tour

Come and discover Lisbon with me, so many times nicknamed by poets as the "white city" or the "city of light". If I had to choose this would probably be the first district I'd recommend to be seen in Lisbon! First a stop by the Belém Tower , an ornate and distinctively shaped fortress from 1515. We now walk to the monument that celebrates the golden age of Portugal: the Monument to the Discoveries. Also honoured bearer of UNESCO world heritage status is the magnificent (and my favorite) Monastery of Saint Jerome! During our tour I'm sure you'll be surprised by the wonders of both church and cloister of this overwhelming construction, built to celebrate the most important event of Portuguese history: the arrival of Vasco da Gama to India for the first time by sea. No trip to Belém would be complete without sampling the delectable Pasteis de Belém - warm custard tarts with a light crunchy casing, served here since 1837! I would eat 10 of these a day but I'll leave that to you today :)
