#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Monument to the Discoverers, built for the 1960 World Expo, stands next to the outlet of the Taigas River. This monument was built to commemorate Prince Henry. It tells the story of Prince Henry and a group of navigators, adventurers and missionaries during the Portuguese Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries. It includes statues of 80 people including Magellan and St. Francis. In addition, there is a map of the world in front of the monument, which was given to the Portuguese government by the South African government in 1960 on the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry. The exquisite map shows the areas conquered by Portugal during the Age of Discovery.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The National Coach Museum in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal, has the largest collection of carriages in the world. In addition to carriages from Portugal, there are also carriages from countries such as Spain, the United Kingdom and France. These carriages are of great significance, including the carriage that the Queen of England once rode and the carriage that King Philip II of Spain rode when he visited Portugal, both of which are collected in the museum. This carriage museum, built in 1095, is a must-visit place when traveling to Portugal. In addition to the history and culture of vehicles, it also displays exquisitely carved handmade art.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Discoverers' Monument, is a famous attraction in the Belem district of Lisbon, Portugal. It is used to commemorate the glorious achievements of Portugal in the Age of Exploration in the 15th century. It can be said to be the starting point of the Age of Exploration. The Monument to the Discoverers is shaped like a sail setting out to sea, with huge stone statues on the left and right wings, depicting famous navigators, navigators and missionaries of the Age of Discovery. There are a total of 32 statues of lifelike figures. Inside the monument is an exhibition room, with an entrance ticket costing €10. There are documentary screenings and a rooftop observation deck. Personally, I think it's okay. You can just take some photos outside and take some time to visit the Belem Tower and Jerónimo Monastery nearby. They are quite worth a visit. #PortugalTravel #Monument to the Discoverers #Belem #Lisbon

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Torre de Belem, when strolling around the Belem district in the suburbs of Lisbon, you will surely not miss this most classic landmark building of the Portuguese port. The five-story defensive carved fortress is also the symbol of Lisbon. It was built in 1514 to commemorate Vasco da Gama's successful circumnavigation of the world and is of extraordinary significance. The Belém Tower is divided into two parts: the tower body and the rampart. It is a Portuguese Manueline-style building, like a medieval sea fortress. This giant white tower has witnessed the prosperity and rise and fall of the Age of Discovery. The function of Belém Tower has changed several times, from an initial defensive fortress to a prison for criminals, and now it is listed as a World Heritage Site, which has repeatedly demonstrated the importance of Portugal in the Age of Discovery. The first floor is the entrance to the battery, the basement is the prison cell, the second floor is an open platform, the third to fifth floors are internal rooms, there is a white carved balcony outside the third floor, and the top floor overlooks the entire port, with beautiful scenery. The ticket price is €6 and it is well worth the visit. #PortugalTravel #BelemTower

#1月好去地方2025 There are many tourist attractions in the suburban "Belem District" less than 30 minutes away from Lisbon. In addition to the famous Maritime Monument, Belem Tower, and the original Portuguese egg tart shop, there is also the popular attraction "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos Monastery" which always has a long queue. The reason why the monastery is so popular is because of the building itself, which is a fusion of the Arab Moorish style and the Portuguese Manueline style. It uses golden limestone as the building material. In the main building of the spires and arcades, a large number of natural elements of the great voyages are used to decorate it, making the monastery more simple and vast. The Jerónimos Monastery is not only an important landmark in the Age of Discovery, but also the final resting place of King Manuel I of Portugal. It is also the birthplace of Portuguese egg tarts and is well worth a visit. The entrance ticket is €10, and you can exchange your ticket for free with a Lisbon Card. It is recommended to purchase a package that includes the Belém Tower for €12, which allows you to visit these two representative attractions of the Belém district together, which are quite good for taking photos. #PortugalTravel #Lisbon #Belem #Jerónimos Monastery

#JapanFlightEvent I liked Portugal so much that I traveled there twice. I lived in Porto for a month and had a long trip, and I also had a long trip to Lisbon for 9 nights and 10 days. I'll recommend some places to visit in Lisbon and nearby cities that I've been to while traveling😍 If you're planning a trip to Portugal, especially Lisbon, be sure to read this:) 📍Places to visit in Lisbon - Miradouro de Santa Catarina / An observatory overlooking the Tagus River. It's hip because there are a lot of young people. - Praça do Comércio / If you go to Lisbon, you must visit the wide Praça do Comércio. The Augusta Street Arch Arco da Rua Augusta is a really cool square! - Santa Justa Elevator Elevador de Santa Justa / You can see the whole city of Lisbon at a glance. (6 euros, pay on site) - Alface Hall Jazz Bar / If I had to name the best place in Lisbon, it would probably be this jazz bar.. I went there every day during my two trips. - R. Augusta Street / This is a street that leads to Plaza de la Comécio, and there are many shops, souvenir shops, and delicious cafes. - Café da Garagem / A cafe with a really great view. The price of coffee is good value for the great view. Coffee + nata (egg tart) = about 4 euros. - Restaurante Cabaças / If you go to Lisbon, you should go to Cabaças every day... It's a local Portuguese restaurant with delicious steak!! There might be a wait, so go quickly!! - Miradouro das Portas do Sol Viewpoint / An observation deck with a great view of the orange rooftops of Europe! The pictures are also really pretty:) - Eduardo VII Park / It's the largest park in Lisbon. It's great for a leisurely walk. Dogs run around and it's a really relaxing place. - Tram photo zone: Bica - Lg. Calhariz A place where you can capture the Bica Line funicular view beautifully. It's especially famous for the tram number 28 view. / Elevador da Glória A steep alley that goes up to the Alcantara observatory! It's short, but you can see the funiculars going up and crossing each other. - Belem District: If you want to learn about Lisbon's history, you absolutely must visit the Belem District..! Make sure to set aside a day to visit. ✔️Recommended places / Tower of Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoveries of Belém, Pastéis de Belém (egg tarts are delicious..) 📍Recommended places near Lisbon - Cascais / I visited this place because I wanted to visit a special resort other than the places that everyone visits. It's a 30-40 minute train ride from downtown Lisbon. It's such a beautiful resort that locals go swimming every weekend. There's also a place where you can wash up, so you can get a tan and swim on the beach :) ✔️Recommended places: Praia da Rainha Beach, Pedra da Nau Cliff - Cabo da Roca: The land's end village of the Eurasian continent, Cabo da Roca! It's a 50 minute bus ride from Sintra & Cascais, so it's a good place to visit when you're traveling to Sintra or Cascais. It's the westernmost part of the continent, so it feels mysterious. The sea is also really pretty, so visit it when you travel to Lisbon! Lisbon is recommended for a leisurely trip, staying for 3 nights and 4 days at the shortest, or 5 nights and 6 days at the longest. It is a hip city with a different charm from Porto. If you are planning your first trip to Lisbon, Portugal this year, save it and refer to it🫶🏽 #Overseas travel #European travel #Travel plan #Lisbon #Lisbon travel #Lisbon attractions #Portugal #Portugal travel #europetrip #portugal #lisbon #lisboa

#2024TravelReview Lisbon's main attractions are concentrated in #Alfama and #Belem, each with its own unique characteristics. The oldest neighbourhood, Alfama is full of narrow alleys, old buildings and markets, perfect for exploring on foot or by tram, where you can soak up the history at every turn. The Belém district is close to the coast and is a witness to the Age of Discovery. It has classic attractions such as the Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoverers and the Jerónimos Monastery. For a three-day trip, it would be smoother and more comfortable to spend one day in Belém and two days in Alfama. ＊ I live near Fig Tree Square so I will arrange it this way for your reference. Day1: (Belen District) Breakfast: Casa das Bifanas Pork Chop Bun > Belem Tower > Monument to the Discoverers > Jerónimos Monastery > Casa Pastéis de Belém > MAAT Contemporary Art Museum > LX Factory > Ler Devagar Bookstore > Dinner: Bonjardim Early in the morning on the first day, we went to the century-old Casa das Bifanas for a classic Portuguese pork chop bun, which is the favorite breakfast choice of locals. After breakfast, we headed to the Belém district. The #BelemTower, standing on the banks of the Tagus River, was once an important symbol of Portugal’s glorious Age of Exploration. We just wanted to take some photos. Then ride an electric scooter to the #DiscoverersMonument, a 52-meter-high white stone monument that presents the image of a ship setting sail, symbolizing Portugal's leading position in the Age of Navigation. When you come here, don't forget to take the elevator inside the monument and climb to the top observation deck. Finally, we visited the #Jerónimos Monastery, a world cultural heritage site with exquisite Gothic architecture that is definitely worth a stop and a closer look. Then we came to LX Factory, a trendy cultural and creative base in Lisbon. This area converted from an old factory has become an art paradise where young people gather. There are shops with a strong sense of design and literary cafes here, and any photo taken here will look good. If you are a book lover, don’t miss Ler Devagar Bookstore, whose huge printing press and towering bookshelves are definitely a great place for everyone to take pictures. Finally, the day ended perfectly with a charcoal-grilled Portuguese roast chicken dinner from Bonjardim, a long-established restaurant in the city center. #Lisbon #Belem #LXFactory #PortugueseCuisine #TravelPortugal #DiscoverLisbon #FoodieTravels #PastéisDeBelém #Bonjardim #LisbonLandmarks #ArtAndCulture #LisbonInOneDay"

Lisboa, or Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city that effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern vibrancy. Set across seven hills overlooking the sparkling Tagus River, Lisbon enchants visitors with its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively atmosphere. The heart of the city lies in its historic neighborhoods. Alfama, the oldest district, is a maze of narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the soulful sounds of fado music drifting from local taverns. From here, a climb up to São Jorge Castle rewards visitors with panoramic views of the city’s red-tiled rooftops and the river. In contrast, the Baixa district offers grand squares like Praça do Comércio, elegant boulevards, and bustling shops. Lisbon’s architectural wonders include the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower, both reflecting the city’s maritime heritage during the Age of Discoveries. A visit to Belém also means sampling the famous pastéis de nata (custard tarts) at Pastéis de Belém, a quintessential Lisbon experience. The city’s modern side shines in neighborhoods like Chiado and Bairro Alto, where trendy cafes, boutique stores, and vibrant nightlife thrive. For a contemporary twist, the Parque das Nações district offers innovative design and attractions like the Oceanário de Lisboa, one of Europe’s largest aquariums. Lisbon’s hills are best explored on the iconic tram 28, which winds through the city’s most picturesque streets. Evenings are perfect for riverside strolls or enjoying a glass of Portuguese wine at a miradouro (viewpoint) as the sun sets. Warm and welcoming, Lisbon’s charm lies in its balance of tradition and modernity. Its stunning vistas, rich cultural heritage, and laid-back vibe make it a destination that lingers in your heart long after you’ve left.

This time, we visited Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and participated in a sunset sailing experience! Onboard, you can see comfortable sofa cushions as seats, allowing passengers to lie down comfortably and enjoy the sea view! The whole process is very interesting. Besides seeing the cityscape of Lisbon, you can also see various historical buildings in Lisbon, such as the Monument to the Discoveries! You can also see the sunset during the sailing process, which is very desirable!

#solotrip Lisbon, with its warm climate, friendly locals, and easy-going vibe, is a fantastic #solotrip destination. The city’s hilly streets, charming trams, and vibrant neighborhoods make it perfect for solo wanderers. Start your day with a stroll through the Alfama district, where you can get lost in the maze of narrow streets, colorful tiles, and traditional Fado music echoing from cafes. Lisbon’s Belém area offers cultural highlights like the Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower, perfect for solo exploration. Lisbon is also a food lover’s paradise, so don’t miss the chance to indulge in pastel de nata (custard tarts) at a local bakery. With safe, walkable streets and affordable public transportation, solo travelers will find Lisbon an ideal place to explore at their own pace, blending adventure with relaxation.

I stayed in Lisbon for 3 days, including 2 full days and 2 half days. Although I didn't enjoy myself to the fullest, I have visited all the highlights. In summary, Lisbon is worth the money, with good food, fun and high cost performance‼ ️ Belem District: Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoverers, Belém Tower, and Belém Egg Tarts are must-visit spots. They are not far from each other and can be visited on foot. An afternoon is enough to visit them. Note⚠️The monastery is closed every Monday. We happened to be there on a Monday, so we could only take pictures outside. The building is very beautiful. Belem Tower is a good place to watch the sunset. Although the reviews of Belem egg tarts are mixed, I think they are delicious! I recommend experiencing the sunset sailing. It is really romantic to wait for the sunset on the sailing boat. The whole journey takes 1.5 hours, but don't go when it's cold. Come on, don't ask me how I know [Facepalm]. 🔹Old Town: Plan at least a full day to experience the citywalk in the old town, the colorful houses, the undulating slopes, every alley is picturesque, the Pica elevator, and the No. 28 tram are all beautiful scenery along the way. In April and May, you can still see jacaranda trees on the roadside, the purple color is so beautiful! I have previously written an article 📕 about a one-day tour guide to the old town, which you can refer to. 🔹Observation Deck: ✔️St. Lucia Observation Deck The free viewing platform near the cathedral has a good view of the red roofs. ✔️Saint George Castle Although it costs 15 euros🎫, it is located at the highest point and offers a 360° panoramic view of Lisbon. The view is better than other observation decks, and you can also watch the sunset. There are also many peacocks in the castle🦚 🔹Lisbon Surroundings: ✔️Cabo da Roca "The land ends here and the sea begins here", the westernmost point of the European continent, a must-see attraction, but the wind is really strong, don't wear a skirt! Most tourists check in near the stone monument and take photos and then go back, but I I recommend the hiking trail on the other side of the lighthouse. It is less crowded and has beautiful scenery. It is very stunning. ️ ✔️Azenhas do Mar A small town not far from Cape Roca. The town is small but beautiful. You can have dinner here and wait for a sunset. ✖️Hellmouth I kind of regret not coming here. We only planned to visit Cape Roca and Azenhas do Mar that day. I thought I would not have enough time, but after visiting it, I think I should have enough time to come here. 🍽️Food: Maria Catita and Solar 31 de Alfama in the old town are the restaurants where I felt I had no disappointments. Moinho Dom Quixote, not far from Cabo da Roca, has delicious food and great views. I strongly recommend that you come here to eat after visiting Cabo da Roca, but you will need to wait in line for a while. 🏨Accommodation: Dare Lisbon House Great B&B, good location, right near the Santa Justa elevator, next to the internet-famous seafood rice uma, there are many small shops to visit around, you can arrange half a day to buy souvenirs. 🚗Transportation: We used Bolt to take a taxi the whole way. We didn't want to waste time on traffic. It's very convenient to take a taxi. Moreover, it's not expensive to take a taxi in Portugal. It's recommended to take a taxi for 3-4 people. ️

Loved my time at MAAT! The museum is composed of three main parts. The first is located in the old power plant (Tejo Power Station), the garden (which I didn't explore much), and the new building. The museum tends to focus on quality rather than quantity. They have a total of 3-4 exhibits, but they are quite large in scale. The new building itself is beautiful, a strange space that is long and narrow without straight lines. What exhibitions you get to see depends on your luck, as this space requires something dramatic. It reminds one of the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the Tate Modern in London. At the top of MAAT, there is a lovely terrace offering stunning views of the Tagus River and its bridges, along with a nice café. Behind the building, there is a bridge leading to the street, connecting to nearby tram and bus stops, making it convenient to combine your visit with other major attractions in the Belém area, such as the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, National Coach Museum, and the famous Pastéis de Belém. If you are staying in Lisbon for a few days, a visit to MAAT is highly recommended.

It is a palace located in the prime area of Belém, Lisbon. Originally built during the monarchy, this former palace now serves as the residence of the President of the Republic. Situated in Belém, adjacent to the Tagus River, it is in a tourist area with many important museums and close to the Jerónimos Monastery. Visits are not random and are only occasionally open to the public on announced dates. For those interested in visiting, certain rules must be followed, starting with booking in advance and confirming a certain amount beforehand. Only guided tours are allowed, which also include the beautiful gardens overlooking the Tagus River. Visitors can see the reception rooms, decorated with beautiful furniture, tapestries, magnificent chandeliers, and paintings. We get a general understanding of the history of the building and its royal residents before the establishment of the Republic. Its location, contents, and the dignified functions carried out there make it worth a visit.

#100 Ways to Travel How can you miss the authentic #Portuguese Egg Tart when you come to Portugal! I heard that the birthplace is in #Belen, a suburb of Lisbon, where there are the #MaritimeMonument and #BelemTower, which are must-visit places for tourists, as well as Pastéis de Belém, the legendary century-old shop that founded Portuguese egg tarts. The origin of the egg tart is rumored to be a secret recipe from the nuns of the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos Monastery. Pastéis de Belém has been open for nearly 190 years since 1837, and it still attracts a constant stream of people. The charm of the Portuguese egg tarts is irresistible. The crust of the egg tart is baked crispy and thin, and it sizzles when you bite it. The filling is thick like paste, with a strong milky flavor. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder to enhance the flavor. It really deserves to be the birthplace of Portuguese egg tart, it is delicious! Previously, one coin cost €1, but now it has risen to €1.4, which is equivalent to an increase from NT$35 to NT$50. The takeaway box, which comes in a set of six, is so pretty, and looks like the packaging for incense cylinders. The white outer box is printed with blue patterns like a nautical chart, and it’s very textured. It will definitely be a hit as a souvenir! Pastéis de Belém is different from other old shops. It is neither shabby nor small, and it does not only sell egg tarts. It is actually a large bakery and coffee shop. After bypassing the long queues at the takeaway area, you will find a different world inside. The store is so big that it looks like a maze! Elegant Portuguese tiles, seating areas through the arches, and a glimpse of the egg tart-making process through the glass window. It's like a tourist factory, which shows that selling egg tarts can really make a lot of money!

On a whim in April 2024, I decided to visit Portugal. I booked a flight and my first stop was Porto. After landing, I booked a ride online to pick me up. The driver was very nice and took me to my destination, a lovely Airbnb located next to the metro in the city center. The house was amazing and conveniently located. After dropping off my luggage, I went to the nearby São Bento Train Station to buy a ticket for the next day. The station was stunning, with familiar blue and white tiles on the walls, and I couldn't resist taking many photos. For dinner, I chose a spot next to the Luís I Bridge, where I enjoyed street performances while eating. The next day, I walked across the Luís I Bridge to visit the famous Porto wine cellars and taste the renowned Porto wine. It was a perfect day. On the third day, I headed to Lisbon. To be honest, although Lisbon is the capital, I preferred Porto. In Lisbon, I visited famous landmarks like the Belém Tower and took the iconic Tram 28. These sights can be covered in a day. I also spent a day visiting the nearby town of Sintra, known for Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where 'the land ends and the sea begins.' Overall, I highly recommend a trip to Portugal! I would love to explore it more deeply in the future!

📍 Jeronimos Monastery ⛪️\ Mosteiro dos Jeronimos / A must-see tourist spot in Lisbon, Portugal. If you come to Portugal🇵🇹, it's a place you should definitely visit🥹💕 That's... The Jeronimos Monastery, one of the World Heritage Sites. Construction began in the early 16th century and took about 300 years to complete, and you'll be overwhelmed by the gorgeous building. It's a gorgeous and gorgeous building that evokes the era of sea route development, and is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Manueline architecture. The scale of the building is amazing, but if you look closely at the exterior walls, you'll see that there are many carved motifs representing the Age of Discovery, such as coral reefs, shells, and ships, and you'll be amazed at how intricate they are😭✨ Another highlight is the beautiful courtyard surrounded by a two-story corridor measuring about 55m square‼ ︎ The contrast between the lawn in the courtyard, the blue sky, and the building was so beautiful that I forgot I was in a monastery and felt like I was in a museum 🥹🤍 And one more thing you shouldn't forget is the "Basilica of Santa Maria". The entrance here is separate from the monastery, so if you only visit the monastery and go outside, you will miss it, so be careful! ︎ Be sure to enter through the separate entrance next to the monastery 🙌🏽 This is the most beautiful part of the Jeronimos Monastery, with its intricately carved statues that are said to be particularly wonderful. 💕 First of all, the high ceilings and beautiful stained glass are captivating 🥹🥹 The atmosphere of the pillars with palm tree motifs and the sculptures on the arched ceiling is also wonderful. As it is a popular tourist spot, be sure to purchase a time-specified admission ticket in advance and visit first thing in the morning! ︎ There is a long wait time to enter around lunchtime 😇💦 [Mosteiro dos Jerónimos] 📍Location: Praça do Império 1400-206 Lisboa 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (October-April) 10:00-18:30 (May-September) 💰Price per person: 10€ →We recommend purchasing tickets online in advance‼︎ #Europetrip #Portugaltrip #JeronimosMonastery #Portugal #Lisbon #WorldHeritage #Church

📍Bica Funicular - Lg. Calhariz, Funicular da Bica (p2) The Bica Funicular is a bit different from the Santa Justa Lift, as it's a little yellow tram that climbs up the hill. This location is at the top end of the slope, where you can walk down slowly and see a yellow tram pass by every few minutes 🚡. Standing on the slope, you can capture the distant sea and two yellow trams appearing at the same time, or find a crossroad to take a side shot of the tram passing by, which is very beautiful! 📍Praça Dom Pedro IV (p3) There are several flower shops in front of the square, where vendors sell colorful fresh flowers 💐, and the jacarandas on both sides are blooming splendidly. Such scenery leaves me at a loss for words. 📍O Adriano Restaurant (p4/5) We discovered this place on our way from Praça Dom Pedro IV to the Bica Funicular. Along the way, you can see the monument of Dom Pedro IV and the distant São Jorge Castle. The location is a restaurant! 📍Casa Portuguesa do Pastel de Bacalhau (p6) This picture was taken on the street next to this restaurant. You can directly locate this restaurant and walk down the road to reach the Commerce Square and the Arch of Triumph. 📍Miradouro de Santa Luzia (p7) This viewpoint does not require an entrance fee and is quite crowded. Follow the way up from the Lisbon Cathedral, and I recommend visiting at sunset 🌇 to see the distant sea. 📍Largo do Correio Mor (p8) We took photos from the top of the slope, where the jacarandas are really photogenic, and there's also a spiral staircase that makes for great shots! 📍Belém Tower (p9) We took photos from the park behind the Belém Tower using a telephoto lens, and it's super beautiful!
