Step aboard on the Tagus and feel Lisbon pull away beneath you: the city’s clay-red roofs recede, the 25 de Abril Bridge looms like a steel horizon, and the Christ the King statue watches from the opposite bank. A gentle Atlantic breeze pushes the small sailboat west past Belém’s defensive tower and the ornate façade of Jerónimos Monastery, while sunlight tilts on the river and the crew opens a bottle.
