The Tagus dares you from first sight: a broad, briny sweep of water edged by pale stone façades and the low silhouette of Belém. On a private three-hour cruise you glide past the Monument of the Discoveries, the 16th‑century watch of the Tower of Belém, and the rust-red span of the 25 de Abril bridge—each landmark pushing a different part of Lisbon’s story into view.
