About this experience
On this tour we'll visit Belém, one of the most charming areas in Lisbon and also learn a bit more about the Portuguese discoveries. Portugal was the first global empire in the world and everything started in this lovely district called Belém. Vessels left its harbors to navigate through the unknown, facing the dangerous of the Oceans to discover new land, build churches and forts to make Portugal the first global Empire in History. Belém is also considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the city, with its many historical buildings and famous UNESCO heritage sites, the Jeronimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém. Both were idealized by King D. Manuel I and built in a unique architecture style that become to be known as the "Manueline Style". We'll also see the incredible Monument to the Discoveries, the impressive Presidential Palace, Afonso de Albuquerque Square, the gardens of Belém, the CBB, the Compass Rose and the Pastéis de Belém.

A Great Way to Explore Belém!
I did this walking tour of Belém with my parents and we all really enjoyed it. It's such a lovely part of Lisbon, and Shiri was a fantastic guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and great at bringing the history to life. One of the highlights was getting to go behind the scenes and see how the famous Pastéis de Belém are made, which was a really cool experience. We'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Great tour through Belem
Great tour through Belem with Shiri. Shiri is super knowledgeable about the Lisbon history and was very happy to answer the questions from the group. Despite the weather we had a great time walking around.

Belèm Tour
Natália was amazing and knowledgeable. This tour was well worth the experience (& would have been value for money at twice the cost). Taking the time to understand the history and symbolism of the area was beneficial. To have someone of Natália’s calibre made for a wonderful tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review Robyn. We're glad you've enjoyed the tour with Natália so much. Best regards from Hi Lisbon Walking Tours Team!

Great visit to Belém!
Chiara was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. She provided many insights, both positives and negatives, on the history of Portugal and the key sights around Belém. We really enjoyed our tour and learned alot about city. Thanks!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the lovely review. We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Chiara so much. Best regards from Hi Lisbon Walking Tours Team!

One of the best walking tours we’ve ever had!
Tiago is one of the best guides we’ve ever had, among many walking tours around the world. He brings history to life, using today’s language and metaphors on what could otherwise seem like boring tales of the past. He is attentive to everyone in the group. I highly recommend this walking tour of Belem, and any tour with Tiago as guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the kind review Tess. We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Tiago so much. Best regards from Hi Lisbon Walking Tours Team!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age cost?
+
Prices start at $3 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lisbon Walking Tour - Discover Belém and the Discoveries Age start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
