Belém Tower

Belém’s riverbank landmark; plan the interior ticket separately from the waterfront walk.

In short

Belém Tower is a riverside landmark in Lisbon’s Belém, worth seeing from the waterfront as well as inside. Decide whether you want an interior visit before choosing a ticket. Lisboa Card visits need a date-and-time reservation. Accessible visiting is limited to the ground-floor bastion, not the upper tower.

Why we send people here

Leave time to look at the tower from the riverbank even if you also go inside. The waterfront and the interior are two different plans. If you are using Lisboa Card, reserve its date and time first; the card alone does not settle that step.
