The Best Hotels in Belém, Lisbon
Belém runs along the Tagus River, encompassing many seafood restaurants, stretches of garden and historic landmarks as it does. Belém is where many an historic Portuguese journey of discovery has set sail from, or returned to. In fact many would have seen the rather grand Belém Tower on the horizon and known they had made it back to Europe. It follows that a number of the best hotels in Belém benefit from excellent views of the river, but some have great views of the city too.
Many of the monuments built here commemorate one grand journey or another, or were funded with the riches bought back on these expeditions. Belém Tower, built in the early 16th century to ward off pirates and other attackers, and the Jeronimos Monastery are probably the area’s best known sights. But don’t miss the Ajuda Palace or the Coaches Museum either, both are wonderful places to learn about the wealth of Portugal’s royal family and their historic standing in Europe.
As well as historic sights, Belém is also where you’ll find one of Lisbon’s most historic purveyors of pastel de nata: the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém, a pastry shop with beautiful tiled rooms which has been opened since 1841.
