Cacilhas

Climb aboard a pleasurable sunset cruise to wrap up your day. Set off from Sul e Sueste River Station for a 2-hour cruise and marvel at Lisbon's stunning skyline. Capture the magical views of the iconic monuments and buildings. See the city's most famous landmarks that include Praça do Comércio, Alfama, Cacilhas, the Cristo Rei Sanctuary, and the 25th April Bridge. Experience a superb atmosphere with a professional DJ onboard. Enjoy a refreshing evening on the cruise while sipping your first complimentary drink and admire the breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Cross the bridge on a tuk-tuk to the south bank of the Tejo and savor the view on offer. The Bridge, which used to carry the name of António de Oliveira Salazar, is now called 25th of April, signaling the 1974 Revolution. You will see the Sanctuary of Christ the King, a monument from 1959 that imposes itself on the landscape, its arms wide open, celebrating peace. The climb or pilgrimage will take you to a viewpoint where you will be able to see all of the Tagus Estuary. Right after you will visit Casa da Cerca, a beautiful old mansion that was acquired by the city in 1988 and soon turned into a contemporary art center. You can fast peruse the exhibitions, which are mostly for local artists and updated every few months. Outside are creatively themed gardens dedicated to various flowers, cotton, lavender, rosemary, and a cherry plantation. From the terrace, you can see Lisbon's skyline, Tagus River and 25 de Abril Bridge. You will then go down to Cais do Ginjal in Cacilhas where you will find the Lisbon-Almada ferry terminal and a unique atmosphere for its decaying old warehouses and dreamy views. Finally, back to Lisbon, led by dolphins if you are lucky.

Taste your way through the city, see historical highlights and interact with locals on this adventure-packed Lisbon tour. Meet your informative local guide at the historic neighborhood of Mouraria, a melting pot of cultures from far and wide, and one you won’t see on other Lisbon tours. Pass small churches, mosques, and shops selling goods from far-flung places. Stop at a small, hidden bakery where traditional pastries and espresso coffee will provide a tasty pick-me-up. After more sightseeing highlights, taste some authentic Portuguese cheese, locally-made marmalade, and port wine. Walk through Lisbon’s main square and learn how much the city has changed since the devastating earthquake of 1755. Explore Bairro Alto and Chiado, stop at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Lisbon, and end your adventure with a short ferry ride along the Tagus River, the subject of many Portuguese songs and poems. Journey to the picturesque Cacilhas, where Portuguese green wine and freshly caught seafood await.

In the morning go to see Belém, a massive outdoor monument praising the Discoveries period where the caravels once left for the New World. Here you will see the Torre de Belém sitting at the Tagus riverside, and the imposing Jerónimos Monastery, both elevated to World Heritage status by UNESCO, and two of the ‘7 Wonders of Portugal’ that have dominated this landscape for 500 years. Next, go to a new viewpoint in town, located beside the iconic bridge crossing the Tagus river. Watch the amazing views from the top and see all the coastline up to Cascais. When you come down, put some VR goggles on for an awesome virtual reality experience as a maintenance worker. Don’t look down! Afterwards, cross the bridge and make your way to Cacilhas for a traditional Portuguese lunch. Before returning to Lisbon, make a quick stop at the best viewpoint over the city. The Cristo Rei statue is standing on a clifftop 133m above the sea level. Take Instagram-worthy photos and watch the breathtaking views from the other riverbank. Before drop-off in the city center, make a final stop at another viewpoint, which is less crowded and learn about a lesser-known area of Lisbon.
