What to do and see in Belem, Central Portugal: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
Just four miles from the center of Lisbon, Belem (or Santa Maria de Belem) is best known for Belem Tower (or Torre), a 16th-century fortified lighthouse built to guard the port. This was, after all, the port from which famous Portuguese navigators like Vasco de Gama set off to explore the world. The area is also home to Belem Palace, built in the 16th century by King Manuel and now the official residence of Portugal’s president. Belem is also home to the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery.

National Coach Museum is really a one of kind place. I have always wanted to go was the coach museum in Lisbon. This place did not disappoint! My favorite coaches were the The Ocean Coach, The Processional Coach, The Mail Coach. The Ocean coach was made to represent the power of Portugal in the discovery of new lands and its empire. Fun fact the Mail coach made the run from Lisbon to Porto do you know how long that took? 34 HOURS! Now we have 2 ½ hours by train. The Processional Coach was used on religious feast days and they would take sacred relics that belonged to saint being celebrated through streets of Lisbon. A great place to go to see a part of history that is not looked at very often.
