More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a low-slung catamaran and the Tagus takes the lead—cool spray at the bow, Lisbon’s hills slowly unspooling behind you. The city’s monuments slide past in close profile: Belém Tower standing like a weathered watchman, the angular span of the 25th April Bridge, and the Cristo Rei statue on the opposite bank. The river breathes wind into your face and pushes the skyline into motion.
