Belémand its attractions for luxury travelers
Belém, a picturesque district of Lisbon, offers an array of captivating experiences for the discerning luxury traveller. Begin your journey at the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can marvel at the intricate Manueline architecture and explore the stunning cloisters before indulging in a private guided tour that offers exclusive insights. Next, visit the iconic Belém Tower, a symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discoveries; the view from the top provides a breathtaking panorama of the Tagus River. For art enthusiasts, the MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology) presents cutting-edge exhibitions, and the building itself is a modern architectural marvel that perfectly complements the historical surroundings. Don’t miss the chance to savour the world-renowned pastéis de nata at Pastéis de Belém, where the secret recipe has been delighting visitors since 1837. Finally, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the waterfront promenade, dotted with charming cafés and lush gardens, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Staying in luxury hotels in this area, such as the Altis Belém Hotel & Spa, provides not only opulent accommodation but also the convenience of being steps away from these attractions, ensuring a pampered experience with attentive service and exquisite dining options, all while soaking in the rich culture of Lisbon.
