Select participants and date

Enjoy a relaxing cruise on the waters of the Tagus River, which crosses Lisbon, while you see the most important sites of the Portuguese capital. All this aboard a colourful, traditional Portuguese boat from 1947.

As only small groups of around 26 passengers can take part, you can enjoy a comfortable trip along the Tagus, passing monuments such as St. George's Castle. This is a building of Muslim origin, which was reconquered by King Alfonso Henríquez, the first monarch of Portugal. Among other important events, this castle witnessed the reception of Vasco de Gama on his return from India.

You will also be able to see the splendid Alfama district, one of the oldest in the city and a traditional fishermen's quarter. Some of the most outstanding monuments in this district are the National Pantheon and the Jardim Botto Machado park.

The Praça do Comércio, which is the nerve centre of the Portuguese capital, is another of the emblematic sites you will see from the boat. In the shape of a 'U' open to the Tagus River, it was home to the Royal Palace until it was razed to the ground by the 1755 earthquake. Here you can see the Rua Augusta Arch and the equestrian statue of King José I, who was on the throne at the time of the earthquake.
