A late-morning breeze off the Tagus pushes through the car window as you leave Lisbon’s downtown, the river glinting between tiled rooftops. Your private driver-guide eases through seven hills and narrow lanes, pausing for views where the city opens — Christ the King standing like a watchful presence across the estuary, Belém’s fortified tower marking centuries of voyages.
