The city hums as the amphibious vehicle eases away from a central quay and into traffic—shoppers and trams spin past, then the hull dips and the Tagus River takes over, daring you to look beyond the quay. In 90 minutes the Hippotrip flips the script on a regular city tour: marble boulevards, an elegant roundabout at Marquês de Pombal and the boulevarded sweep of Avenida da Liberdade give way to salt air and maritime monuments.
