Belém / Restelo: Where history, nobility and chic meet in Lisbon
Restelo, another residential district dating from the sixties is on the western fringes of city centre. Here, you are more likely to find a house with a garden and a pool. Many diplomats and foreigners share the few houses for rent in this beautiful district. There are also beautiful apartments overlooking the Tagus. In Restelo, you already feel a bit out of Lisbon: the avenues are wider, the views unobstructed.
The Belém Tower
Located along the Tagus, the Belém Tower originally commemorated the expeditions of Vasco da Gama whose discoveries include the sea route to India. Built in 1515, it is a symbol of the great Portuguese era. It was luckily spared by the earthquake of 1755, but was moved to the river banks by the tidal flooding that followed. Despite its diverse architecture, the tower gives an overall sense of purity and harmony. You will want to stay a while to admire and contemplate this monument, understandably considered today as the symbol of Lisbon. The Belém district is very pleasant, modern, the activity on the docks has changed and today there are more pubs, bars, a younger and trendier nightlife. Take the opportunity to admire, from the tram, the 25th of April Bridge.
The Monument to the Discoveries
52 metres high, the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, designed to commemorate the great individuals who helped make the discovery of the new lands of the Portuguese Crown, looks like a ship at the edge of the Tagus. Henry the navigator stands on the bow facing the 25th of April Bridge and Cristo Rei, two other great monuments of Lisbon. The Portuguese are proud of their explorers and we envy them a bit…
The pastéis de Nata
There may be allegedly 365 different cod recipes in Portugal, one for each day of the year, but the pastéis de Nata, the round pastries similar to custard cakes with a firmer consistency, also have an important place in Portuguese gastronomy. No wonder. They are absolutely delicious! The number of people queuing in front of the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém to purchase these delicacies can look impressive, but the waiting time is usually quite short.
Jerónimos Monastery
This monument was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos is one of the architectural wonders of Lisbon. You will find it in the Belém district, by the old port of Lisbon. Just as the nearby Belém Tower, this monastery is a testimony of the opulence of Portugal at the time of the great Discoveries. Its existence is closely linked to the discovery of India by Vasco da Gama in 1495 and the trade of Indian spices that ensued. You will love the stunning and recently renovated two floors cloister, particularly when the sun gives the stone a warm golden colour.
National Museum dos Coches
You will travel back in time in this museum and will be amazed by the superb collection of carriages of all kinds on display. Their decoration and the richness of the sculptures worthy of the greatest monarchs are impressive. It is one of the largest collections in the world and it rivals that of Versailles and Madrid. Visiting the Museum dos Coches is a good opportunity to take a break during your stay in Lisbon.
