Monumental, riverside, expansive
Belém
The riverside district of monasteries, museums and the famous custard tarts.
Belém is the riverside district where Portugal built its monuments to the age of discoveries, set apart from the centre along the Tagus. The Jerónimos monastery and the Torre de Belém are the obvious draws, but the quarter rewards a fuller day: the gardens, the design and modern-art collections, the ferries and the wide light off the water. The custard tarts here have their own protected recipe and a queue to match. Treat it as a half-day on its own rather than a tick-box detour.
