Within minutes the Tagus river unfurls like a wide silver ribbon, daring you to follow its curve toward the Atlantic. From this vantage the city reads clearly: the fortified Belém Tower, the lacework of Jerónimos Monastery, the red span of the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the monumental Christ the King, each landmark trading places as you circle.
