Belém Boat Tour
Belém Boat Tour
We'll gather at Praça do Comerço at the scheduled time and proceed to the pier for our boat journey to Belém. On the boat, featuring both covered and semi-covered areas, we'll enjoy a scenic one-hour cruise along the waters of Lisbon.
During the voyage, we'll pass beneath the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge, providing a close-up view of Europe's longest suspension bridge. Continuing our exploration, we'll approach Cristo Rey, extending its welcoming arms on the opposite side of the river.
As we sail along the Tagus, the Museum of Architecture, Art, and Technology of Lisbon will stand out, situated along the riverbanks at the historic Central Tejo steam factory. Drawing closer to Belém, we'll unveil landmarks such as the Padrao of the Discoveries, a 52-meter-high (170-foot) caravel-shaped monolith adorned with 33 statues representing the Age of Discoveries.
Another notable Lisbon attraction visible from the water is the Belém Tower, an ancient military structure recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
Disembarking after an hour-long boat ride near the Belém Palace, the official residence of the President of the Republic, we'll delve into its history. Our journey continues on foot with a visit to the renowned Belém pastry shop, renowned for its original cream cakes.
Exploring the nearby streets, we'll pass by the Jerónimos Monastery, a Lisbon landmark, and visit the famous Wind Rose to delve into the Portuguese explorations between the 15th and 16th centuries. Concluding the two-and-a-half-hour Belém walking tour, we'll finish the walking portion at the Belém Tower.
Here, we'll help you use the included transport tickets for your return journey to the center of Lisbon at your preferred time.
