<\/center>Portugal was a pioneer seafaring nation in the Age of Exploration, which brought new commercial routes for the world. This tour showcases the audacity of Portuguese sailors and includes two UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, which bear witness to and celebrate this period in the history of Portugal: the Jer\u00f3nimos monastery, which includes one of the most important hall churches in Europe and the Bel\u00e9m tower, built in the 16th\u00a0century by the Tagus river to defend Lisbon against invaders.<\/p>\n

This tour will also take you to the Padr\u00e3o dos Descobrimentos, which celebrates the glory of Portugal\u2019s naval expansion; the Bel\u00e9m cultural centre, one of the main hubs for cultural dissemination in Lisbon; the Museu dos Coches, one of the most visited museums in Portugal, with a unique collection of vehicles from the 16th to the 19th\u00a0century; the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, which displays national and international exhibits by various contemporary artists; and to top it all off, the Ajuda Palace, an old royal residence that is now a museum of decorative arts.<\/p>\n

This tour couldn\u2019t be complete without a stop at the original factory that makes the renowned past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m, small, crispy filo puff pastries with a creamy filling, the recipe for which, still a zealously guarded secret, was created in the Jer\u00f3nimos monastery.<\/p>\n

Gather up to six friends or relatives and come with us to discover Bel\u00e9m. In this two-hour tour, you will be able to explore Bel\u00e9m\u2019s waterfront and its main monuments and museums and savour its famous pastries.
