Lisbon

Enjoy a scenic boat tour along the Tagus River, taking in Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks and historic neighborhoods. Highlights include the Belém Tower, Monument to the Discoveries, 25th of April Bridge, Christ the King statue, and the majestic Commerce Square.

Monument to the Discoveries

Is a powerful symbol of Portugal’s maritime heritage and its pivotal role during the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries.

MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology)

Is one of Lisbon’s most ambitious cultural projects. Inaugurated in 2016. Its futuristic structure resembles a low-slung, asymmetrical wave, seamlessly blending into the landscape and inviting visitors to walk over its accessible rooftop.

Belém Tower – A Jewel of Manueline Architecture

A UNESCO World Heritage Site (Listed in1983), stands as one of Lisbon’s most emblematic monuments, guarding the entrance to the city’s harbour since the early 16th century.

The Champalimaud Foundation

Is a cutting-edge biomedical research centre and a striking example of contemporary Portuguese architecture.

25 April Bridge

Often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge for its color and design, is one of Lisbon’s most striking landmarks – both an engineering marvel and a symbol of historical change.

Sanctuary of Christ the King

Standing proudly on the southern bank of the Tagus River, is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks – a towering statue of Christ with open arms, inspired by the famous Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.

Frigate D. Fernando II e Glória – The Last Great Portuguese Sailing Warship

Moored along the Tagus River in Cacilhas, the Fragata D. Fernando II e Glória is a rare maritime treasure — the last wooden-hulled warship built by the Portuguese Navy and the last of its kind to sail under the Portuguese flag.

National Pantheon – Monument to Portugal’s Greatness

Perched on a hill in Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest district, the National Pantheon is one of the city’s most majestic buildings – a tribute to some of the most important figures in Portuguese history.

Commerce Square

Is one of the largest and most majestic squares in Europe, symbolizing Lisbon’s maritime heritage and royal past.

Cais do Sodré

Once a dirty dockside district, the Cais do Sodré has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into one of Lisbon’s most vibrant and eclectic neighborhoods
