One of the best things about a day trip to Belem is that all the main sights are within easy walking distance of each other and most are linked by this beautiful waterside promenade. Having visited the Jeronimos monastery and church, we walked straight across to the Discoveries Monument, where the promenade starts. It was from this very point that the 15th century explorer, Vasco da Gama set sail for India, returning with news of a new sea trading route and treasures that would ultimately help turn Portugal into a global empire and establish it as a 15th century super-power. We walked from here, alongside the Tagus River, to the Belem Tower. Along the way there is a marina, a couple of restaurants, an unusual lighthouse and the Coutinho monument (a replica of the bi-plane that crossed the South Atlantic almost 100 years ago). Walking back, you look towards the 25 April Bridge and the Discoveries Monument looms large, most of the way. Mostly though it is just a beautiful stretch to walk along and the wide, flat path makes it suitable for small children and pushchairs

The beating heart of an incredible city, just sitting in one of the myriad cafes and restaurants and watching the world bustle past....one of life's must do moments that will linger for a lifetime. Ships ploughing their way up the river, ferries making their way between banks, couples laughing, glorious food, wine and vistas to die for... Did I mention it was a nice place to visit?

This is a lovely promenade in Porto. You can walk, enjoy the sun, listen to the waves...excellent place only about 20 min walk from the town centre. On the seaside, there are also many varieties of large rocks of geological value.
