History
Lisbon’s Rio Tejo (Tagus River) has been the lifeblood of the city since its founding in ancient times, serving as a vital trade route for Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors. By the Age of Exploration in the 15th century, the river was the launch point for Portugal’s maritime empire, with ships departing from its banks to explore Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The riverfront, now lined with landmarks like the Belém Tower and the 25 de Abril Bridge, reflects Lisbon’s rich seafaring legacy.
The boat used in this tour, built in Germany with planks repurposed from World War I tanks, marks a unique chapter in maritime innovation as Portugal’s first diesel-powered vessel with stainless steel propellers. This sunset cruise celebrates Lisbon’s deep connection to the river, blending its historic significance with modern festivity, music, and drinks, offering a vibrant way to experience the city’s timeless charm.

- Witness breathtaking views of Lisbon’s iconic landmarks from the water
- Dance to upbeat music with friends against the cityscape
