Belem Private Day Trip: History, Heritage & Local Tasting

Escape the bustle of central Lisbon on this private day tour and discover the charming neighborhood of Belém, filled with history, iconic architecture, and artistic flair.

Hop aboard a modern train with your private guide and head toward the riverside district of Belém. Explore its most emblematic sites while learning about its rich maritime past, its iconic buildings, and the stories that shaped Portugal’s Age of Discoveries.

Visit the Monument to the Discoveries, and make a stop at a traditional pastry shop to uncover the secret history behind Portugal’s most famous treat — the pastel de nata.

Next, travel by tram to one of Lisbon’s oldest and most traditional spots: the Sant’Anna Tiles Factory, where you'll enjoy an insider’s look at authentic Portuguese craftsmanship. End your experience at the vibrant LX Factory Art Center, a former industrial complex transformed into a creative hub of street art, design, and local culture — one of Lisbon's coolest hidden gems.
