Visiting Lisbon's Belem District, Lisbon, Portugal
The area of Belem is just a short tram ride away from busy Lisbon and makes for a great day trip from the city. In Belem you will find some of Lisbon鈥檚 most famous historic sites and it is home to the delicious Pasteis de Belem (a different type of pasteis de nata), a must eat when you鈥檙e in Lisbon. Here鈥檚 some of the sights you shouldn鈥檛 miss on your trip to Belem.
It is pretty easy to get to Belem from Lisbon. Our聽lovely guest house聽was close to Cais do Sodre station and from there you can just hop onto tram 15 that will drop you in Belem. We got off at the stop for Jeronimos Monastery, right in the middle of Belem. If you are staying downtown, take tram 15 or 127 from Figuera Square. You can also use bus lines 728, 28, 729, 751, that鈥檚 a lot less crowded than the tram. The train station is a bit far from the main sites so we didn鈥檛 go by train 鈥� if you want to, the stop is on the Cascais line.
You can use the聽Lisboa Card聽on all the trams and buses, and it may include entrance to some of the sites too. We got around with the Viva Viagem card you can buy at train stations. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
