🇵🇹Lisbon, Portugal✅Must-see attractions📍Belem Tower📷💕

This is my second visit to Lisbon, Portugal. Last time, I didn't have much time, so I just took a quick look around. I spent a lot of time photographing the sights from the outside and didn't actually visit them. The Belém Tower is one of those sights I regret not visiting! So, I absolutely have to make it a must-see this time!

Portugal is incredibly crowded during summertime! We stayed in the Belém district, and groups of tourists started pouring in at 10 a.m., creating long lines for many attractions. We started queuing at 12 p.m. and waited about an hour and a half before we even got in! To avoid the crowds, I recommend arriving at 9 a.m.; after 10 a.m., you'll be surrounded by groups of tourists!

The Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) is an iconic landmark and a must-see attraction in Lisbon. A 16th-century port fortress, it's a symbol of Portugal's Golden Age and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

The architectural style blends exotic elements, Moorish and Arab art, resulting in the Manueline style. The Belém Tower is a classic and representative example of this style, with unique features that are well worth a visit. 📷😍💕

Many areas within the tower are beautiful, but my favorite is the first-floor terrace. 🥰 It was sunny and perfect for taking beautiful photos!

Note: The weather around the Belém Tower is unpredictable. We experienced sunny, overcast, rainy, and extremely windy weather in the hour-long queue. Remember to bring a windproof jacket!
We were lucky enough to have sunny weather when we entered the site. ☀️
