Lisbon old town sailing cruise with a welcome drink

4.9/5
6 reviews

Leave Lisbon's crowds behind and enjoy the city's famous sights aboard a beautiful sailboat with a cruise on the Tagus. Featuring wonderful panoramic views, famous monuments that honor the Age of Discovery, and impressively engineered bridges, this is a city tour to remember.

As you sail out from the medieval port of Belem into the Tagus River estuary, your eye is caught almost immediately by the striking Monument to the Discoveries, built to celebrate the region's rich history of exploring the New World. The crew expertly navigates your craft upriver, taking you beneath the 25th of April Bridge as the dome of the Estrela Basilica in Lisbon's Old Town comes into view.

Both shores of the river feature important landmarks: the Castle of São Jorge, the statue of Christ the King, and another engineering masterpiece, the Vasco de Gama Bridge. With an on-board guide imparting fascinating historical context, this is a wonderful overview of Lisbon's grandest sights, all from the comfort of a stunning sailboat.

    We hatten einen wunderschönen Nachmittag auf dem Boot. Der Skipper und seine Partnerin gaben und das Gefühl, bei Freunden zu Gast zu sein. Beide waren total sympathisch, haben uns auf dem Boot gut eingewiesen und konnten sehr viel zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten und zur Stadt erzählen. Ein echtes Highlight, uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

    We had a great time on our boat trip. The crew even let me pilot the boat for 15 mins. Great historical information given by the Captain on Lisbon landmarks as we sailed up and down the river

    Alles Top! Die Besatzung, vor allem Luis, war freundlich udn kompetent. Obwohl wir die einzig nicht portugieisch sprechenden Teilnehmer waren, wurde uns alles immer auf Englisch erklärt. Eine besondere Art und Weise, einige Sehenswürdigkeiten von Lissabon zu sehen. Wir könnnen es zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
