Our group tour officially started with a guided tour of Lisbon. First stop was Edward VII Park.

Our next stop was the Bethlehem (Belém) neighborhood where we visited the Church of St Jerome’s Monastery and the garden at Empire Square.

Then we stopped at the Tower of Belém.

Our final stop was Tower of Discovery where we were treated to our first sample of port wine and pastel de nata (the “originals” from Pastéis de Belém).

After a brief rest we explored the area around the hotel.
