Belém Boat Tour

We'll gather at Praça do Comércio at the scheduled time and proceed to the pier for our boat journey to Belém. On the boat, featuring covered and semi-covered areas, we'll enjoy a scenic one-hour cruise along the waters of Lisbon.

During the voyage, we'll pass beneath the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge, and approach Cristo Rey on the opposite side of the river.

As we sail along the Tagus, the Museum of Architecture, Art, and Technology of Lisbon will be visible, located at the historic Central Tejo steam factory. Close to Belém, we'll see landmarks like the Padrao of the Discoveries, a 52-meter-high (170-foot) monolith with 33 statues representing the Age of Discoveries.

The Belém Tower, a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site, will also be visible from the water.

After the boat ride near the Belém Palace, we will focus on its history. Our journey continues on foot with a visit to the renowned Belém pastry shop known for its original cream cakes.

We will explore nearby streets, pass by the Jerónimos Monastery, and visit the Wind Rose, concluding the two-and-a-half-hour Belém walking tour at the Belém Tower.

We will assist you in using the included transport tickets for your return journey to the center of Lisbon at your preferred time.

Transport

If weather and/or river conditions are unfavorable, the boat ride may be canceled. In that case, transportation to Belém would be by train or streetcar.

At the end of the tour, we'll provide a 24-hour ticket for use on Lisbon's yellow streetcars and elevators.
