What makes Private Tour to Lisbon Age of Discoveries, Belém Area, by TukTuk a unique experience ?

The avenue was built between 1879 and 1886 in the image of the boulevards of Paris. Its creation was a milestone in the city’s expansion to the north and quickly became a reference for the wealthier classes to locate their homes there.

Today, this avenue still contains very interesting buildings from an artistic and architectural point of view, especially from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Eduardo VII Park of England, formerly Parque da Liberdade, is the largest park in the center of Lisbon. Locally known only as Parque Eduardo VII, it was named in 1903 in honor of Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who had visited Lisbon the previous year to reaffirm the alliance between the two countries.

You’ll imagine being at the heart of a XIX century-romantic walk in the park.

The Jerónimos Monastery, in Lisbon, is a magnificent example of Manueline architecture. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has impressive details, such as sculptures and ornaments, that show the wealth and devotion of the era. It is a historical testimony to the age of Portuguese Discoveries and houses the tombs of prominent figures in the country’s history.

You can visit the Church for free, as long as there is no waiting line.

The Belém Tower is a Lisbon historical icon on the riverbank. This fortified tower, with its unique architecture, mixes styles such as Gothic and Manueline.

Built as a maritime defense, today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a striking symbol of the Age of Discovery. Its decorative details and strategic location on the banks of the Tagus River make it an unmissable attraction for visitors.
