Where the caravels left and the pastries stayed — Belém is Portugal's age of discovery in one riverside district.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Lisbon's Belém on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Salute the Torre de Belém, the fortress that waved the explorers off
• Read the crew list on the Padrão dos Descobrimentos
• Marvel at the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and its Manueline lacework

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Set sail — the riddles chart the course.

What to expect

Starting at the National Coach Museum on Avenida da Índia, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head for the riverfront where empires were launched. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos rises first, paid for with pepper money and carved like a stone ship's rigging — Vasco da Gama rests inside. Riddles trace the Manueline knots.

The Padrão dos Descobrimentos juts into the Tagus next, a concrete caravel crewed by navigators, kings and one map-loving prince. Trivia checks who's aboard.

Then the Torre de Belém floats on the water's edge, the fortress-lighthouse that said goodbye to the great voyages.

Around two hours along the river of departures. The leaderboard docks last — pastéis de Belém, warm with cinnamon, are the true trophy.
