Coffee, crisp pastry and silky custard. In Belém, Pastéis de Belém has followed its traditional recipe since 1837. A lovely reason to take a seat.

Make Belém your day out: a pastry stop, gardens and the riverside. Pick one museum if you feel like it, then finish with a walk near the tower. Check opening times before you go.
