Belém is a historic district at the mouth of Lisbon's Tagus River, forever linked to Portugal's Age of Discoveries. From these shores, explorers like Vasco da Gama set sail to chart new worlds.

Lisbon’s downtown (Baixa) unfolds in elegant, grid-patterned streets flanked by neoclassical buildings, where sunlight bounces off pastel façades and calçada portuguesa (mosaic cobblestones). At its core, Praça do Comércio opens majestically to the Tagus River, crowned by the Arco da Rua Augusta and buzzing with cafés, street performers, and golden-hued history.

The Moorish Castle crowns the peaks with 8th-century stone sentinels—its crumbling walls tracing ridges where knights once scanned the Atlantic horizon.
