The line up was very long but worth it. We found the fortress fascinating! Be prepared to climb several flights of circular stairs, but it wasn't bad.

The ticket doesn't cut the line at all; you have to queue for a very long time, in full sunlight (as they let people in piecemeal)! What's more, the wait isn't worth the visit: in the end, it's pretty empty inside and there's not much to see; the tower is prettier from the outside.

In general, the audioguide can only be downloaded by those who book the tickets. On the other hand, you buy the tickets with a specific time and you don't care, you have to stand in the same queue as everyone else, even if they have different schedules. Bad organization and high price for not respecting the schedules and conditions.

We loved the Belém Tower, but we were disappointed because we paid for headphones expecting to receive them, but we ended up paying and not getting them.

I didn't really do it, the queue was a block long at noon and I thought it was going to be a bit smaller having bought online

A Few Highlights

Plugging in your headphones, explore the Chapel on the second floor, famous for its beautiful stained glass windows, and walk along the chambers that were once quarters for soldiers & officers, while listening to captivating stories, historical information, and fascinating anecdotes. Admire the stunning interiors of Manueline-style architecture, decorated with intricate stone carvings that depict maritime motifs, such as ropes, anchors, and sea monsters. Discover how the tower was originally built on a small island in the Tagus River, but over time, a shift in the riverbank has caused it to connect to the mainland. Climb up to the terrace of the tower, accessible via a narrow spiral staircase. It offers spectacular views of the Tagus River and the surrounding area, including the Jerónimos Monastery and the Monument to the Discoveries!
