See the Jerónimos Monastery, which is a world heritage site of gothic Manueline style architecture. Learn about the Belém Tower, just across the road, which was built between 1514 and 1520.

We had actually booked a tour in German, but the tour operator was overbooked and we got an English-speaking guide. It wasn't a problem for us, we just translated for the others. Luca was punctual, friendly, patient and in a good mood, we had a great tour with him. We saw everything important in Belém and had enough time for photos. Always my pleasure.

La guida, Luca, è stata super! Ci ha prelevato dall’alloggio e ci ha portato in giro e consigliato dove mangiare dell’ottimo pesce. Ci ha mostrato le bellezze di Belem, dei mercatini e del lungofiume. È stato gentilissimo e ci ha dedicato oltre il tempo che ci era concesso! Esperienza divertente ed istruttiva! Condigliatissima!

Our TUKTUK trip to Belém with Julio was great. He picked us up at the cruise terminal on time and showed us the most beautiful corners of Belém. The time just flew by. Again any time!
