Belém in Three Hours, Eight People, the Cloisters Inside and No Queue for the Pastéis
Three hours in Belém on foot, in a group capped at eight, covering the maritime history that made this stretch of riverbank what it is.
The UNESCO monuments are the frame: the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, with the Discoveries Monument and the Jardim Afonso de Albuquerque along the way.
Two details separate this from the other Belém walks. The cloisters of the Jerónimos Monastery are visited with the guide, which is the interior most walking tours skip. And at Pastéis de Belém the guide takes the group past the queue, which on a busy afternoon is worth the booking on its own. Food and drink are not in the price.
With eight people, the guide is talking to the group rather than at it.
Departures run in the morning and the afternoon.
