A low thrum grows beneath the feet as passengers step onto the heliport pad a few minutes from Lisbon’s center. Rotor wash lifts dust and the Tagus River, wide and silver, seems to pull the city along its banks; the helicopter rises and the urban grid unfolds — terracotta roofs, the sweep of the 25 de Abril Bridge, and Belém’s riverfront monuments shrinking into a neat map.
