Top 20 Belém, Lisbon vacation rentals & luxury serviced apartments

Portuguese world exploration started in Belém, but after seeing the cultural heart of Lisbon, you might ask yourself why they left at all. Originally the home to shipyards, Belém is now an upscale and sought after area, where the vast majority of its sights are concentrated. It's easy to get lost and spend a whole day exploring the neighbourhood, jam-packed with museums and monuments that allude to the Portuguese Golden Era of Discoveries. It's not exactly central, but it's easy to get there and delve into hundreds of years of history on foot, all while nibbling on a heavenly Pastel de Belém to replenish your strength.
