National Monument. The architectural design is by Cottinelli Telmo and the sculptures are by Leopoldo de Almeida. In addition to the main statue of Infante Dom Henrique, the Navigator, holding a model of a caravel, on both sides of the monument's ramps there are a total of 32 figures from the history of the discoveries.
It was located on a rocky outcrop in the waters of the river, opposite the old beach of Belém, and was intended to replace the old artillery ship, anchored in that stretch, from where the fleets departed for the Indies. His works were in charge of Diogo Boitaca, who, at the time, was also directing the already advanced works of the neighboring Jerónimos Monastery.
Also called Central Tejo and built between 1908 and 1951, it represents an old thermoelectric power station that supplied electricity to Lisbon. It is a unique building in the architectural panorama of Lisbon, and one of the most beautiful examples of industrial architecture from the first half of the 20th century in Portugal.
MAAT is a contemporary art museum. Building classified as a Property of Public Interest, it consists of two poles: the old Central Tejo and the New Building.
Also known as the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery is a Portuguese monastery, built at the end of the 15th century by King Manuel I. The Jerónimos Monastery has been classified as a National Monument since 1907 and, in 1983, it was classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with the Belém Tower. On July 7, 2007, it was elected as one of the seven wonders of Portugal.
The 25 de Abril Bridge is a road-rail suspension bridge over the Tagus River that connects the city of Lisbon (north bank) to the city of Almada (south bank). Until 1974, the 25th of April Bridge was called Ponte Salazar. The name 25 de Abril alludes to the revolution of 25 April 1974. The works began on 5 November 1962, having been inaugurated on 6 August 1966.
Praça do Comércio, still commonly referred to by its former name as Terreiro do Paço, is a square in downtown Lisbon, where it was the palace of the kings of Portugal for about two centuries and which today is partially occupied by some government departments. It is one of the biggest squares in Europe. It was for a long time the noble entrance to Lisbon and, on the marble steps of Cais das Colunas, coming from the river, heads of state and other prominent figures disembarked and were received. In the center of the square, you can see the equestrian statue D. José, erected in 1775 by Joaquim Machado de Castro, the main Portuguese sculptor of the 18th century. On the north side of the square is the Arco Triunfal da Rua Augusta, the entrance to downtown.
The Cathedral of Lisbon, or Church of Santa Maria Maior. It is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon and the Parish of the Sé. Its construction began in the second half of the 12th century, after the city was conquered from the Moors by D. Afonso Henriques, and today it presents itself as a mixture of architectural styles. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.
Alfama is the oldest and one of the most typical neighborhoods in the city of Lisbon. Its name derives from the Arabic al-hamma (الحمّة), which means 'source of warm waters, good waters'. The neighborhood is frequented daily by Portuguese and foreign tourists, being considered the smallest in the entire city of Lisbon. It is known for its restaurants and fado houses, as well as for the festivities of Santos Populares, especially on the night of Santo António, from the 12th to the 13th of June.
It is a shrine and religious monument dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The National Sanctuary of Cristo Rei is located at an altitude of 133 meters above the level of the Tagus, consisting of a portico designed by the architect António Lino, 75 meters high, topped by the statue of the Holy Redeemer with open arms facing the city of Lisbon, with 28 meters of height, work of the Portuguese sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa.

Excellent experience on the river! We had a great time as a family, relaxing, and checking out the sites of Lisbon from the boat. Beautiful sailboat with lots of information about Portugal and the Lisbon area. Great activity for a family or group of friends.
It was one of the best experiences I have had in recent times, we were accompanied by Maria and João who are two incredible people and very friendly, it was very worth the comfort, the walk, the team. I gave 5 stars because I can't give more, but I'm very grateful for the attention and for making this experience as amazing as it was. Thank you and congratulations to the company and the two who guided us and we will definitely return. Thank you
