Description:

Motor out from the stylish Santo Amaro docks and motor out on a cruise designed to offer you excellent panoramas of Lisbon's top landmarks. For those short on time, or who just fancy a rapid overview of the city's sights, this boat tour offers an ideal solution.

You board your boat at the newly restored Santo Amaro docks, which themselves are a joy to walk around. From here, you can either set off toward the river mouth and the Atlantic Ocean or turn upriver for views of the main part of city.

The Atlantic course offers views of Belem, an area of the city that celebrates Portugal's extensive role in expeditions to the New World during the Middle Ages. Admire the striking Discoveries Monument jutting over the water, hear more about the country's military history at the Belem Tower, and catch sight of the monument of Christ the King.

If you choose to head upriver, the majestic dome of the Basilica de Estrela instantly catches your eye, as does the commanding sight of the Castle of Sao Jorge atop Lisbon's historic central hill. Again, this route offers an all-important vista of Christ the King, arguably Lisbon's most famous monument.
