Itinerary

Take a ride on the hop-on hop-off bus and enjoy the soothing waters of the Tagus instead of the streets of Lisbon. Lisbon's most famous sights may be seen during this hop-on, hop-off boat tour. Step on board the Belém or Terreiro do Paço boat and settle in for a comfortable ride on the deck. Savour the appellation of "Seven Hills city," Lisbon, while floating on the serene river. Consider some of the most well-known sights in the city: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Lisbon Cathedral, São Jorge Castle, and the 25 April Bridge.

Ride the Modern Lisbon bus tour to the Parque das Nações, site of the World Expo 1998, where you may see the Lisbon Oceanarium, the Azulejo museum, and the Fado museum. The 35-minute Bélem Lisbon Bus Tour takes passengers through the verdant enclave, stopping at locations selected at random from a hand list. The Boat Tour sails under the 25th April Bridge and stops at the coast for views of St. George's Castle and Lisbon Cathedrale, if you're game.

Landmark Stops: Key stops on the bus routes include famous attractions like Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, Rossio Square, the Lisbon Cathedral, and the modern Lisbon area with attractions like the Oceanário de Lisboa.

Popular attractions include:

  • Historic Lisbon: Explore areas like Alfama and Baixa on the bus, where you can visit sites such as the Lisbon Cathedral, São Jorge Castle, and the Rossio Square.
  • Belém Area: On both the bus and boat, you’ll experience the historic Belém district, home to the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, and the Monument to the Discoveries.
