The boat slips away from Praça do Comércio and the city exhales into light. Streetlamps sketch the old port, the Tagus pushes you gently along, and the red sweep of the 25 de Abril Bridge grows into a luminous arch overhead. On a clear night Lisbon reads like a map made of lamps — tiled façades, riverfront museums, and monuments coming alive as you pass.
