Lisbon River Sightseeing Cruises & Tours

The Yellow Boat River Tour is a Tejo river sightseeing cruise, offering a chance to discover the old Lisbon, its monuments, hills and cityscape, from a different angle, and to take amazing pictures.

You’ll be able to watch the Alfama neighbourhood glide by, with São Jorge Castle and the Sé Cathedral.

The boat will cross the river to Cacilhas on the southern bank, and you’ll be able to visit Cristo Rei, the statue of Christ. After that, the boat will get very close to the suspension red bridge – Ponte 25 de Abril, or 25 April Bridge – on its way back to Lisbon, so that you’ll see the amazing views of Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower.
