Adjacent to Bel\u00e9m Tower lies the majestic Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, an exquisite example of Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline architecture. Marvel at its high-arched ceilings, stained glass windows and intricately carved designs as you immerse yourself in centuries of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then travel onto the Castle of S\u00e3o Jorge, which offers panoramic views of Lisbon’s historical center. Originally built around the 6th century, this Moorish castle has witnessed centuries of conquests and reconstructions, serving as a testament to Lisbon’s resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honoring Figures of History: Discoveries Monument and Beyond<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroll to the Discoveries Monument, erected in 1960 to commemorate Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Admire the towering tribute to explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan and Vasco da Gama, whose voyages reshaped the course of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venture beyond the city limits to Serra de Sintra, a picturesque mountain village steeped in royal history. Explore the colorful Pena Palace, a fairytale castle dating back to Portugal’s Romantic period, and capture its vibrant hues against the lush backdrop of Sintra’s landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Lisbon land package includes excursions to nearby landmarks and sites, including the Castle and Convent of the Order of Christ in Tomar. Delve into the architectural wonders of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, spanning the 12th to 16th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n
