If you survive the tram ride.
Our second day in Lisbon, we decided step further afoot and explore outside of central Lisbon. After one of the most jam packed tram rides of my life, (I swear I thought I was going to pass out due to lack of oxygen), we arrived in the scenic neighborhood of Belém.
Belém sits along the Tagus River and is full of monuments to visit, plus some very famous pastries. (More on those later). We visited the Jerónimos Monastery, the Monument to the Discoveries, and the Belém Cultural Center.
Thankfully, the sun decided to join us that day, making the neighborhood that much lovelier.
xo, jill
i never would have expected a twin to the Golden Gate bridge! i also really loved the discovery monument pictures with all of the clouds and blue sky behind the carved figures. outstanding!
Beautiful!! Looks so charming, although I wouldn’t have been down with a tram ride like that either.
