The boat slips away from Alcântara Marina and the city exhales — slate roofs and church towers stepping back as the Tagus widens into a restless estuary. You feel the keel settle and the wind push you upriver, the 25 de Abril Bridge arching like a rusted gate, Belém Tower shrinking into a stone silhouette, and the ornate facade of Jerónimos Monastery sliding past as if part of the shoreline.
