Private Lisbon Tour: Belém, Jerónimos Monastery & Alfama

Lisbon looks easy until you reach Belém. The Jerónimos Monastery queue can swallow two hours, Belém Tower now caps entry at 900 visitors a day, and Belém sits six kilometres from the centre. We pre-book your combined timed-entry tickets and drive you there in comfort, so the capital is the day you pictured, not a line.
