There is not doubt that Portugal, the nearby country, is a really impressive place. Although there have been epochs for which it has not been so valued as now, increasingly it is turning into a tourist destination on which every time more people decide, something that does not wonder, bearing in mind that it has impressive sceneries and a historical past that is worth knowing and enjoying.
From the center of Lisbon, to only 6 kilometers, there is the quarter of Belem, to which it is possible to gain access both in train and in bus. It is a question of an area in which you will be able to visit buildings and museums of big value.
The Tower of Belem, which is in the center of the quarter, along with the river Tagus, dates of the XVIth century and has been considered to be a Patrimony of the Humanity. In the antiquity it was considered to be a defensive bastion, and it has ended up by turning into one of the emblems that represent the city of Lisbon.
It is one of the best points to begin covering the Quarter of Belem. To come to the Monument to the Discoverers, we can take the avenue Brasilia. On having come, we will be before an impressive square, with a mosaic in the center that represents the Rose of the Winds.
It is possible to rise to the seventh plant of the monument, something very advisable, since it has a few really impressive conference. Right here there is the monastery of the Jerónimos, which has a cloister that it is not necessary to allow seeing.
Of course, what is almost essential in this trip is to approach the confectionery Pastèis of Belem, founded in 1837 and in the one that can be bought (in addition to seeing his making) a few delightful cream pastries and dusted with sugar.
Does occur to you a more sweet way of finishing this trip?
