Lisbon River Sightseeing Cruise

Lisbon, Portugal

See Lisbon from a different angle as you take a leisurely two-hour cruise down the Tagus River. Relax on the boat as you drift past Lisbon's monuments scattered along the waterfront, such as the Park of the Nations (Parque das Nações), the Monument of the Discoveries and the 25th of April Bridge. Take in views of the beautiful St George Castle (Castelo de São Jorge), São Vicente Monastery and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jerónimos Monastery, which overlook the Tagus River from the Lisbon hills.

Discover the beauty of Lisbon from a different point of view -- from the Tagus River! Meet your local representative in central Lisbon or enjoy pickup from your Lisbon hotel, then take in views of the city as you head to the riverfront. On the drive down the Avenida da Liberdade, the biggest in the city, admire views of the Alfama district -- the oldest in Lisbon -- and Bairro Alto.

Continue along the waterfront, where you will get a panoramic view of the wide Tagus River before you change to a smooth-sailing, comfortable boat for your sightseeing cruise in Lisbon.

Relax as you enjoy panoramic views of the lush Park of the Nations (Parque das Nações), in the modern part of Lisbon where the 1998 Universal Expo was held, and the glass Oceanário (Lisbon's aquarium).

Admire views of St George Castle (Castelo de São Jorge), São Vicente Monastery and beautiful parks overlooking the Tagus River. Enjoy plenty of photo opportunities as the cruise takes you south of the river, passing the beautiful southern part of the Bairro Alto and Alfama districts.

As you get closer to the Belém district, see the Monument of the Discoveries, which commemorates Portugal's important role in the discovery of the Americas, and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Your sightseeing cruise will finish in this area, so you will have the opportunity to visit the monuments at your own leisure and expense.

I could have done this myself. Just picked up at the hotel and left at the dock. the trip was very good but the service was very poor

The cruise was nice just a shame the tour guide just told us to join the line and left us with no ticket or anything.

Pretty bloody good idea to see the city from a different vantage point. Great views of both Lisbon's famous bridges!

An absolute mediocre experience. The tour guide spoke for less then thirty minutes in a very rushed fashion with poor English and the trip was rather monotonous with one small beverage served. Do not waste your money!

Nice for the price.

This tour gives a different view of the city, and the information given during the cruise is quite helpful.

It was an excellent sightseeing experience. The tour guide was very good. The only problem was that we were not told that there would be no transportation back to the hotel. We waited a while and one of the boat personnel said that tour participants were dropped off but had to take a cab back. It would have helped if we had known that. We took a cab back, but we happened to have euros so that we could. If we hadn't had euros, I don't know how well things would have gone.

This trip provides an excellent way to see the city from a different angle. Try to get a window seat for the best views. Good value for money.

This tour was OK, but it could have been better.
