Guided Tours of Belém Palace

Step inside the official residence of the President of Portugal on a guided tour of the Palácio Nacional de Belém. Led by specialists from the Museum of the Presidency of the Republic, these Saturday visits take you through the palace's ceremonial wing, including the Sala das Bicas, the Dining Room, the Golden Room, the Chapel, the Empire Room, the Ambassadors' Room, and the President's Official Office.

Outside, the tour explores the Pátio dos Bichos and the formal gardens — the Buxo, Tileiras, and Cascata. It's a rare chance to see both the opulent state rooms and the landscaped grounds of a working presidential palace, all while learning about its history and current use from expert guides.
