🇵🇹 Climbing the Belém Tower

#freehotelstay

One of the must do's in Belém is climbing the beautiful Belém Tower which was inscribed in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the neighbouring Jerónimos Monastery. Standing strikingly on the northern bank of the Tagus river estuary, Belém Tower was built in the early 16th century to defend the Tagus estuary.

The tower is about 10 to 15 minutes walk from Centro Cultural Belém tram stop. You will first reach Jardim da Torre de Belém, a beautiful park where Belém Tower is located. Entrance tickets to the tower can be bought from the booth in the park. An adult entrance ticket costs €8. The tower is about 30 metres tall and consists of 4 floors. You can climb to the top of the tower through narrow staircases. The view of Tagus River and the surrounding neighbourhood from the ground is stunning.

Location:
Torre de Belém
Av. Brasília, 1400-038 Lisboa, Portugal
