Lisbon: Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride in Belém at Lisbon City Tours

Admire the sights of Belém in a unique way during this horse-drawn tour through one of Lisbon's most iconic areas. Until the 14th century, Belém was just a beautiful river beach, but it soon became an emblematic area of Lisbon and one of the most beautiful in the world from the 15th century until today. Horse carts were a constant throughout the neighborhood until the middle of the 20th century. Now, though, the Portuguese tradition is having a revival and you can enjoy a 20 to 30-minute ride that passes by a number of landmarks in the area. You'll trot past Praça do Império, Palácio dos Condes de Aveiras, Jardim Afonso Albuquerque, Museu dos Coches, Palácio de Belém, Palácio de Belém Museum, Pastéis de Belém, Padrão dos Távoras, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Museu de Arqueologia, Museu da Marinha, Planetarium, and Centro Cultural de Belém. If you're looking for sightseeing with a difference, then you'll love this.
