About this guide

PadraoDosDescobrimentos.com is an independent guide to the Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries) in Belém, Lisbon, and to the tours that visit it. We are not the monument, its operator EGEAC, the Lisbon city council, a tour operator or Viator. The site name describes the monument we write about, not the business that runs it. For the official visitor information and tickets, see padraodosdescobrimentos.pt.

Facts here are checked against the monument's official website, the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews) and other published sources. Prices, hours and stop times change; when a listing or the official site and this page disagree, the official source wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book a tour through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you that no tour takes you up the monument and that its own ticket costs EUR 10 at the door. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
