Discover one of Lisbon’s most iconic districts on a Jerónimos Monastery and Belém private walking tour, an immersive experience focused on history, architecture and Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. 

The tour begins with a guided visit to the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Portugal’s most important monuments. With entrance included, explore the monastery’s church and cloisters while learning about its historical, religious and cultural significance. Your private guide will explain the unique Manueline architectural style and the monastery’s close connection to Portuguese maritime exploration.

Throughout the experience, benefit from the exclusive attention of a professional private guide, who will adapt the pace and content of the tour to your interests. This private walking tour in Belém offers a relaxed and in-depth way to explore one of Lisbon’s most historic areas, away from large groups.
