On the second day in Lisbon, Portugal, I went to Belém district to see a couple of famous places. This is one of them; Padrão dos Descobrimentos. Visitors were able to go to the top of the monument, so of course I went to the top and saw the stunning city from above. Belém was a very quiet beautiful place along the Tagus river; the longest river on the Iberian Peninsula. I got to Belém from Cais do Sodré railway station by a train. I was busy at the moment to see beautiful Portuguese scenery from the train windows, so I don't remember how long, but not too far. Also, I've heard from a hotel's receptionist that tram No.15 is a good way to get to Belém.
