Itinerary
Ponte 25 de Abril ( 25th of April Bridge ) is a suspension bridge built to connect Lisbon city with the Almada district, that lies on the southern side of the river Tagus. Constructed in 1966 by the American Bridge Company, this bridge was formerly called as Ponte Salazar. However, in 1974, to commemorate the Carnation Revolution, this bridge was renamed as Ponte 25 de Abril.
Cristo Rei (Christ the King) is a Catholic monument and shrine located in the city of Almada, across the River Tejo, overlooking Lisbon. Inspired by Rio’s famous Christ the Redeemer statue, the 110 metre-tall Cristo Rei (about 360 feet and 11 inches) was erected in 1959.
Standing on the waterfront at Belém, near the mouth of the River Tagus, the Torre de Belém is arguably the most iconic symbol of Lisbon. Originally conceived as a lighthouse, the tower was eventually built as a defensive fortress on the orders of King Manuel I.
The monolithic Padrão dos Descobrimentos, looking like a caravel ship frozen in midswell, was inaugurated in 1960 on the 500th anniversary of Henry the Navigator’s death. The 56m-high limestone giant is chock-full of Portuguese bigwigs. At the prow is Henry, while behind him are explorers Vasco da Gama, Diogo Cão, Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan) and 29 other greats.
MAAT is a cultural project for the city of Lisbon that is focused on three areas - Art, Architecture, and Technology. The museum sits on the River Tagus (Rio Tejo) to the west of the city centre and is "one of Europe's most lyrical new museums". It establishes a connection between the new building and the Tejo Power Station, 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.
This neo-classical palace was built in the first half of the 19C and was chosen as the residence for the Portuguese royal family when D. Luís I (1838-1889) became king and married an Italian princess, D. Maria Pia of Savoy (1847-1911). It is a typical example of a 19C royal residence and has an important collection of decorative art (gold and silver ware, paintings, sculpture, furniture, tapestries, glassware, porcelain, etc.). The palace was closed at the time of the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910 and reopened as a museum in 1938. Some of the most important presidential ceremonies now take place here.
This museum is housed in a 17C palace and in a building that stands on the site of a 16C Carmelite convent, of which all that now remains is a Baroque chapel. It is one of the most important Portuguese museums and has a magnificent garden overlooking the River Tagus. To illustrate the special relationship between the Portuguese and different peoples from overseas, this museum has a collection of valuable decorative pieces from Africa, India and China, including carved ivory, furniture, embroidery, silverware, porcelain, silks and a collection of Namban art, with Japanese screens and lacquerware.

Me and my partner took the sunset cruise, last day in Portugal. Amazing experience and views, the guides took such good care of us and provided us with drinks and snacks. Such nice people, so knowledgeable, amazing time on the water. They went out of their way to make sure everyone was having fun. Would recommend to anyone.
Good wine, the guides were very attentive and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves whilst ensuring that they didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the experience.
Such a phenomenal, intimate tour on a beautiful small sailboat. We were given tons of information about the surroundings and had wonderful personal conversations with the captain and his partner. Their dog, Apollo, was the most adorable companion for the ride as well. I cannot recommend this tour experience enough for anyone who is looking for something in less of a large group.
We had a wonderful experience and it was totally worth the time. The boat ride and the view was relaxing and the people were amazing.
Great experience, good wine and cheese and fantastic guides with great music made the experience perfect.
Amazing. My sister and I had a fantastic time. Great crew, fantastic wine, good music and tasty snacks. I would definitely do this again! Worth it 100%
The tour is pleasant, Joan, the guide, is a delight. The wine and the snack were acceptable. Just one drawback, not a minor one, my reservation indicated a Spanish-speaking guide but on the boat no one, except my partner and me, spoke Spanish. Luckily we can sort of get by in English -which you already know what that means if we are talking about Spaniards over 55- if you don't even have that "survival" English, lean back, uncork the bottle and enjoy the Tagus and its sunset with your partner.
Experience was very positive, only to improve the temperature of the served wine (wine to ambient temperature) and the quality of the products (cheese) with a little more and the experience passed to another level.
Great sunset sailing experience with wonderful guides and the fluffiest first mate, Apollo. The guide, Phillipa was knowledgeable and friendly about all the sites from the river.
Nice enough tour. Friendly staff but not a lot of information given during the trip. Only wine offered and no soft drinks, not great when you have two children with you. Staff were drinking beers but beer was not on offer to the guests. Sailing was good. Snacks advertised were boards with cheese, salami and packets of Melba toast.
