Rare P&O SUE Posted April 19, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Belem is great. You can climb the tower and also you can go up the Monument to the Explorers in a lift. We didn't have long enough there to see the museum, so will have to go back;) Yes I want to go up the Belem Tower and climb the Monument. The ship's tour only stops there for about 45mins so I thought that wouldn't be nearly enough time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you have time go into the Antiga Confeitaria de Belem - supposedly home to the original Pasteis De Nata. It is a lovely old cafe with beautifully tiled walls.

One tip I was told to help stop pickpockets is to put a small bell on your purse - I got one off a cat's collar and used a key ring to attach.

Ecuador Posted April 20, 2015 #31 Share Posted April 20, 2015 P & O Sue Lisbon port authority has not allocated a quay for any of the three P & O ships scheduled to dock in June yet so I would check the site nearer the departure date. http://portfocus.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted April 20, 2015 #33 Share Posted April 20, 2015 When we were last in Lisbon (our least favourite place!) we were approached by Tourist Police getting off the shuttle. They explained about the pickpockets and said they were Eastern European Gangs. Apparently most of them had scarpered when they knew we were being officially warned.
