Visiting Belém was a wonderful experience. The entry process was well organised, the signage was clear, and the explanations provided valuable insights into the historical significance of Belém.

Both monuments are very close to each other, so you can walk between them and take in the city. There is also a tram stop that takes you right to Commerce Square.

Ordering the tickets online and picking them up (Centro Interpretativo da História do Bacalhau, Praça do Comércio) was quick and easy. We had no problems with the Lisboa Card at any attractions or on local transport/trains to Cascais.
