Itinerary

Pass by

The Praça do Comércio is a large, harbor-facing plaza. Facing the Tagus (Tejo) to the South, the plaza is still commonly known in Portuguese as Terreiro do Paço. After the 1755 earthquake, the plaza was completely remodeled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline Downtown. From the 19th century onwards, Praça do Comércio became the seat of some of the most important Portuguese state departments.

Pass by

From its inauguration on 6 August 1966 up to 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge. After the Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's regime, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. It is also commonly called the Tagus River Bridge. The 25 de Abril Bridge is based in part on two San Francisco Bay Area bridges. Its paint is the same International Orange color as the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and its design is similar to that of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. Both the Bay Bridge and the 25 de Abril Bridge were built by the same company.

Pass by

MAAT is a cultural project for the city of Lisbon that is focused on three areas - Art, Architecture, and Technology. The €20m museum sits on the River Tagus to the west of the city center, and is "one of Europe's most lyrical new museums". It establishes a connection between the new building and the Tejo Power Station. The museum is designed by Amanda Levete Architects.

Pass by

Tejo Power Station is one of Portugal's most prominent examples of industrial architecture from the first half of the 20th century, and one of the most visited museums in the country.

Pass by

The monument was conceived in 1939 by Portuguese architect José Ângelo Cottinelli Telmo, and sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida, as a temporary beacon during the Portuguese World Exhibition opening in June 1940. The permanent Monument was built to celebrate the fifth centennial of the death of Infante Henry the Navigator, in 1960.

Pass by

The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983.

Pass by

Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent, is a 16th-century fortification located in Lisbon that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

Pass by

The Bugio Lighthouse is situated on an island in the estuary of the River Tagus on the Fort of São Lourenço do Bugio.

Pass by

The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon situated in Almada. The figure of Christ, comparable to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, forms a cross, with its arms extended out facing the city of Lisbon as if to embrace the city.

Pass by

São Jorge Castle is a historic castle that stands on a hill that has played an important part in the history of Lisbon. Since the 12th century, the castle has variously served as a royal palace, a military barracks, home of the Torre do Tombo National Archive, and now as a national monument and museum. Alfama, the oldest district of Lisbon, spreads down the southern slope from the Castle of São Jorge to the River Tagus. Its name, derived from the Arabic Al-hamma, means fountains or baths. While the 1755 Lisbon earthquake caused considerable damage throughout the capital, Alfama survived with little damage. The Mouraria, or Moorish quarter, is one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, although most of its old buildings were demolished by the Estado Novo between the 1930s and the 1970s. It takes its name from the fact that after the reconquest of Lisbon, the Muslims who remained were confined to this part of the city.

Lisbon Goodall Tour

Great trip. Sit to the right of the boat and if you can get to the front of the boat just by the captains deck, that is best.

You get what you pay for

We left about 30 minutes late, the glasses were not clean and it felt like I was on top of a ferry for a hour and a half. We got there early as it stated there were only 50 seats available on top, this didn’t matter since everyone was up there anyways standing and were taking photos at the railing in front of where you sit! I read the reviews before booking but where this was a cheaper option I decided to go ahead anyways. Looking back I would spend the extra to have a nice boat tour.

Memorable moment

Aside from a ticket exchange issue and a misunderstanding that made us wait 4 hours for the next departure, the cruise was well appreciated by my family, to whom I introduced this outing.

Perfect way to take in a lot of historical sights!

The boat ride was a great way to see and experience Lisbon from the water. The monuments and bridges were amazing. Don’t waste money on the “Buffett”’option.

Good way to spend the hot afternoon

We went on this trip before we went to the airport. It was a great way to get away from the city heat and spend a couple of hours on the water. The trip gives you an opportunity to look at Lisbon from a different perspective. We saw the Belem Tower which was a bit too far to go to see on land. It was a sunny day but the breeze was nice. I suggest you sit on the right side of the boat, on the top floor. You get a better and close view of everything.

The Tejo is the river that runs through my village!

We really liked the tour/Tejo is always the Tejo! the boat was comfortable! Negative point the waiting time for the sun - the staff of the bar that is on the pier came to remove the people for being near the walls that limit the bar!!! Little elegant!!!!
