Lisbon Yellow Boat River Hop-On Hop-Off Tour
Overview
Take a break from the road on sightseeing by swapping Lisbon’s streets and avenues for the open waters of the Tagus River on a hop-on hop-off cruise. Board the boat at Terreiro do Paço or Belém, and find yourself a comfortable spot on deck, feeling the gentle breeze as the city unfolds before your eyes.
From the water's clear sights, gaze out over Lisbon’s colorful cityscape, spread across the steep hillsides that earned the Portuguese capital its nickname, “the City of the Seven Hills.” Admire the iconic April 25th Bridge, the Cathedral, and Castle of St George (Castelo de São Jorge), and catch sight of the twisting streets and brightly painted buildings that give Lisbon its charm.
Relax, take photos, and let the rhythm of the river create a perfect perspective on the city — a scenic, refreshing pause that will make your Lisbon experience truly unforgettable.
