Belém Tower
Belém’s riverbank landmark; plan the interior ticket separately from the waterfront walk.
Pastéis de Belém
The original Rua de Belém bakery for custard tarts between monuments and the river.
In short
Pastéis de Belém is the original bakery on Rua de Belém in Lisbon, a natural pastry break between monuments and the river. Start with a fresh house custard tart, then decide whether to take a box for later. Make time for the bakery as well as whichever monument brought you to the area.
A longer outing — consider public transport or a taxi · downhill · from Baixa (public area reference)

Why we send people here
The original bakery belongs with your Belém day. Make time for the pastry break, not only the monument queue.
Make room for this
The house custard tart, of course. Start with one while it is fresh, then decide whether you need a little box for later.
