You roll out of a narrow Lisbon street into a sunlit plaza and the tuk tuk hums forward, the Tagus opening up on your right like an invitation. The river dares you to look farther — glints, gulls and the long silhouette of Ponte 25 de Abril stretching west. The small electric vehicle moves easily through Belém’s broad avenues, pause-to-pause, giving the neighborhood room to reveal its layers.
