The Tagus narrows into a ribbon of bronze as the city leans into dusk; lights on the 25 de Abril bridge blink awake while the Cristo Rei silhouette watches from the south bank. On a twelve-passenger speedboat you sit low to the water, wind sharpening the scent of salt and sweet wine, and Lisbon’s monumental facades slide past at eye level—Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries, Praça do Comércio—all framed by the river’s steady pull.
