The river takes the lead as the city lights climb the hills: you step aboard a squat, steel-hulled vessel—born from recycled World War I tanks—and the Tagus pulls you away from the quay. As the sun slides behind the 25 de Abril Bridge, Lisbon’s façade of azulejo roofs and faded mansard faces loosens into gold and shadow while a live soundtrack sets the pace.
