Welcome to Portugal

Tiles on the walls, fado in the evening and a small country that sailed around the world.

Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe, with borders almost unchanged since the 13th century. Its sailors opened the sea route to India and reached Brazil, and brought back spices, porcelain and new ideas. See the blue and white tiles at the National Tile Museum, the Panels of St Vincent at the National Museum of Ancient Art and the treasures of the Gulbenkian. Plan your museum days on museumtickets.com, then eat a warm pastel de nata and listen to fado.

Verborgene Geschichte

The monks' custard tart

The pastel de nata was invented in a monastery.

Geschichte lesenSchließen

The monks of the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém used egg whites to starch their clothes and made sweets with the leftover yolks. When the monasteries were closed in 1834, they sold their custard tart recipe to a sugar refinery next door. Since 1837 the Pastéis de Belém shop has baked them there, and the recipe is still kept secret.

Tipps für Kunstliebhaber

Hills

Lisbon and Porto are steep; trams, lifts and funiculars help.

Tickets for trams

The old trams are a sight but get crowded; ride early.

Combine

In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery, the tower and several museums are side by side.

Closed days

Many national museums close on Mondays.
