Description
On the outskirts of the historical city center of Lisbon lays the district that saw a whole nation sail towards new worlds. Some would never come back and others would return with tales and riches and a name to be written in History. Stretching along the Tagus River this district has a flat landscape filled with parks, museums, and historical monuments some of which are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. And on a totally different level, this is the neighbourhood where you can find and try the famous Pastel de Belém!
