Lo mejor de este monumento en un día soleado es darte un buen paseo por toda la esplanada que tiene al borde del río, es bonito y tremendamente grande. Buen sitio donde echarse unas fotos. Por dentro tiene un ascensor que te lleva a un mirador que hay en la parte superior, tiene un coste de 10€ por persona, una locura de caro por eso las 3 estrellas

El Padrão dos Descobrimentos es sencillamente impresionante y una parada obligatoria en Lisboa. Su arquitectura en forma de carabela, lista para zarpar por el Tajo, es magnífica, y las esculturas de las figuras históricas lideradas por el Infante Don Henrique están llenas de detalle y fuerza. ​No dejen de mirar al suelo antes de entrar: la Rosa de los Vientos en mármol es un espectáculo aparte y ayuda a entender la magnitud de los viajes portugueses. Subimos a la cima y la vista es de quitar el aliento; se puede ver toda la zona de Belém, el Monasterio de los Jerónimos y el Puente 25 de Abril desde una perspectiva única. Es un lugar que respira historia y que te hace sentir pequeño ante tanta grandeza. ¡Sin duda, uno de los puntos altos de nuestra visita!"

Monumento en honor a Enrique el navegante! Muchas gente los confunde con Colón o Vasco Da Gama! Es una auténtica pasada! Colosal con 53m de altura. La cantidad de personas que hay amontonadas talladas muestra la dificultad en la construcción de la obra arquitectónica. Pasear junto al río Tajo y ver este monumento precioso y a escasos metros torre Belem es una auténtica pasada!!
