Tour in Ajuda Palace and Belem

Descrição:
We will meet at the designated time at the meeting point of Praça dos Restauradores in front of “Padaria Portuguesa”, and from there, we will board public transportation to reach the Palacio de Ajuda, which was the residence of the beloved Portuguese Queen, Dona Maria Pia di Savoia, daughter of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy. The Palácio Nacional da Ajuda, a former royal palace and national monument, is now a magnificent museum and the only palace in Lisbon that still reliably preserves the layout and decoration of the rooms in the 19th-century style, including the monarchs’ rooms and the Throne Room. Located atop the Ajuda hill, with breathtaking views of the Tagus River, the Palace includes important collections of decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries: jewelry, tapestries, furniture, glassware, and ceramics, as well as collections of prints, sculpture, and painting, featuring works by artists such as El Greco, Géricault, or Moroni. After the visit, we will descend to the Belém district, stopping to see the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace. From there, we will reach the “Pastel de Belém” pastry shop to taste together the ancient “Pastel de Belém” made from the traditional and ancient monks’ recipe. We will enter the Jerónimos Monastery, a masterpiece of Manueline architecture and now a national pantheon with the tombs of several Portuguese royals. In the Church of Santa Maria in Belém, we will visit the tombs of Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama. The visit will end after approximately 3 hours at the Jerónimos Monastery.
