The boat slips free of the quay and the Tagus takes the lead, carrying the city lights aft as if someone is gently pulling a string of lanterns behind it. On this two-hour small-group night sail from Doca de Belém, Lisbon’s shoreline reads like a low-lit narrative: the silhouette of the 25 de Abril bridge, the squat historic tower of Belém, and the modern curve of MAAT passing close enough to pick out details by night.
