Discover Belém with a local guide. Belém is a western suburb that’s linked to Portugal’s Golden Age of Discoveries – it was the site where famous navigators once set sail to discover the world. While there, take some time to tour nearby must-see attractions: the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, the Tropical Botanical Garden, and the Berardo Museum of contemporary art. Please note: most attractions in Belém are closed on Mondays.

Explore on your own, Lisbon’s past in Alfama, one of the city’s oldest quarters. Wander along narrow medieval streets lined with typical tile-covered façades and take a step back in time; the area largely survived the great earthquake of 1755, and still retains much of its original layout. Listen to Portugal’s traditional music, fado, gracing the streets at night. Or wander through Praça da Figueira traditional open-air market. Then visit the lively Rossio Square.

In the evening, join your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner in the hotel restaurant.
