Set out from the river aboard an authentic 1947 traditional sailing boat for a relaxed, 1-hour-and-45-minute guided sightseeing cruise along the Tagus.
From the water you will pass emblematic landmarks including Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), São Jorge Castle, the winding streets of Alfama, the National Pantheon and Santa Apolónia Station. The route continues beneath the 25th of April Bridge towards Cacilhas and the Christ the King statue, then rounds the Tower of Belém and the Discoveries Monument before skirting the contemporary MAAT and the Palace of Ajuda.
The boat itself is a museum piece, characterised by warm tones and numerous hand-painted flowers that create an intimate, picturesque atmosphere. The vessel offers comfortable seating and clear riverside views ideal for photography. Your guide provides engaging commentary that places each sight in a historical and cultural context, helping you appreciate Lisbon’s maritime heritage and riverside architecture.
The gentle pace and unique vantage point make this cruise an excellent choice for first-time visitors and returning guests alike; it is especially enjoyable for those who prefer a relaxed, informative way to discover the city from the water.
