Belém it on the Boogie: Following the Footsteps of the Explorers : A Brummie Home and Abroad I highly recommend you fit Belém into your Lisbon itinerary. With a bit of careful planning the top attractions can all be seen in one day, and its super-easy to travel by train or tram.

It's the final post in my Lisbon series! I highly recommend you fit Belém into your Lisbon itinerary. With a bit of careful planning the top attractions can all be seen in one day, and its super-easy to travel by train or tram! ✈️🗺️

Flying visit to London for an awards ceremony which we didn’t win, and we’re not bitter AT ALL. Well maybe a little bit.
