Part 4/8:
Day two begins with an early visit to Belem, home to some of Portugal’s most significant monuments: Belem Tower, the Monument of Discoveries, and the Jerónimos Monastery. It’s also where you'll find the original pastel de nata at Pastéis de Belém, an experience that can’t be missed. The pastries, known for their larger size and exceptional flavor, attract long lines, so arriving early is key!
After indulging in pastries, a visit to Jerónimos Monastery offers a glimpse of stunning architecture, akin to walking through a fairytale setting, although the long wait may push you towards enjoying its external beauty rather than navigating the tourist-heavy interior.
