About this experience
Lisbon gradually expanded along the Tagus River and from there towards the sea. Following the river, you will first discover LX Factory, an industrial complex turned into a hub of restaurants, vintage shops and creative industries.
After that, leaving the 25th of April bridge behind, you will dive into contemporary Lisbon: the newly-opened Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT). This experience can be completed later with a visit to the Belém Cultural Centre (CCB).
Right after, be ready to get surprised by Belém and its beauty: Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, the Monument of the Discoveries and an incredible garden planted by the sea - they are all waiting to be discovered.
At the end of the trip, treat yourself with a delicious custard tart at Lisbon’s most famous factory, Pastéis de Belém.
