The Belém Tower, by the mouth of the Tagus: the most famous building in Lisbon. The year is 1520 and the construction of this fortification has just finished. The river is filled with big ships ready to explore the oceans and unknown continents. Join in, sailors!
We have an exciting challenge for young adventurers: an historic treasure hunt that starts by this landmark and will take them through the Age of Discoveries. It’s an intriguing paper-chase game that goes back in time. Uncover objects, places, clues that teach how the Portuguese conquered the seas! Sail across Lisbon in a quest for scientific marvels and 500-year-old myths (yup, with a lot of sea monsters)! In the end, once marine knowledge is achieved, head on to the best custard tart shop in the city! Ah, this is indeed a sweet and salty demand!
All of this can be followed by an air adventure (it’s no coincidence that the flying business also includes navigators). The very cool Portuguese Air Museum also as a great program for kids. Book a private visit and enjoy a truly theatrical guided tour. Incredible machines are to be discovered, and the Portuguese aerial history is a gem waiting to be known.
