The Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, better known as Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, is a Portuguese monastery, built at the end of the 15th century by King Manuel I and was handed over to the Order of Saint Jerónimo. It is located in the parish of Belém.
In 1837 they began manufacturing Pastéis de Belém, according to an old recipe from the Jerónimos Monastery that is reborn every day in the factory using the same artisanal processes. Pastéis de Belém today provide the taste of ancient Portuguese sweets.
The Belém Tower, formerly Torre de São Vicente a Par de Belém, officially Torre de São Vicente, is a fortification located in the parish of Belém, municipality and district of Lisbon, in Portugal.
The Monument to the Discoveries or Monument to the Navigators is located in the parish of Belém, in the city and district of Lisbon, in Portugal. The architectural design was by Cottinelli Telmo and the sculptures were by Leopoldo de Almeida.
Lisbon's commerce and theater center, Chiado is home to Rua Garrett, a shopping area with sophisticated shops, restaurants and the 18th century Bertrand Bookstore. Locals gather near statues of the greats of Portuguese literature in the lively Praça Luís de Camões. Nearby, the Church of the Incarnation and the Church of Loreto feature ornate marble interiors, while the 18th-century Teatro Nacional de São Carlos boasts Rococo-style decorations.
Praça de D. Pedro IV, better known as Rossio, is a square in downtown Lisbon and has been one of the city's nerve centers. In the Roman period there was a hippodrome.
The steep streets of Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest areas, are lined with traditional craft shops and cafes. The historic tram no. 28, packed with passengers, winds through Alfama and climbs to the 11th-century São Jorge Castle. The views from Miradouro da Graça extend over the city and the Tagus River. At night, it is possible to hear the melancholic fado in some of the restaurants in the area, which have long been in operation.

Wonderful half day Lisbon with Ricardo. He modified the itinerary to suit our needs, as one of our group of four was mobility challenged, and we had already been to Rio Cristo. We were lucky to make the appointment on the same day. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour with fabulous explanation of the key sites. Flexible stops to see all the beautiful sights in Lisbon. Pedro was a kind, thoughtful knowledgeable and helpful driver. Best value for this type of private tour I’ve seen on here covering the area in a high quality vehicle
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure showing you around Lisbon and sharing the history and beauty of these special places. I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the flexibility of the tour, the comfort of the vehicle, and the overall experience. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I’m grateful you chose this tour during your visit. Wishing you many great memories from Portugal, and I hope to welcome you again someday!
I booked the wrong date in error and the company was most efficient and obliging in changing it. Our driver David was 15 minutes early for our hotel pick up, very well dressed and polite! The car was perfect and luxurious! Do note that while David was knowledgeable, he was primarily our driver and not a licensed tour guide. As a driver he did an excellent job and went over and above.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad we could quickly assist with changing your booking date and make the process smooth and stress-free for you. It’s wonderful to hear that David made such a positive impression with his punctuality, professionalism, and service throughout the day. We also appreciate your clarification regarding the role of the driver versus a licensed tour guide, and we’re happy to know that David went above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable and comfortable. Thank you again for choosing our service, and we hope to welcome you back to Portugal in the future! Ricardo DDPortugal Luxury Transport

Good communication prio to the pick-up. That was very helpful for our planning. Ricardo picked us up and we had four perfect hours of sightseeing with our Tour Guide. He is smart, very polite and knowledgeable about Lisbon and Portugal's history. Ricardo speaks perfect English, on top we received a great tip for our restaurant visit in Lisbon. Many thanks ! The half day private tour in a luxury Mercedes with Ricardo is the best way to discover Lisbon. We can reccommend this Tour unconditionally
