Overview

A tour to experience the full spectrum of Lisbon — history, culture, views, and gastronomy. We start in Belém with a must-try stop for the famous Pastéis de Belém, before visiting the Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoveries, and the Belém Tower. Following the riverfront, we arrive at Praça do Comércio and explore Chiado, Luís de Camões Square, and the charming Bica. We pass by the Parliament and the Basilica da Estrela, head to Príncipe Real and the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint, and visit the São Roque Church. The journey continues through the Cathedral, Portas do Sol, Graça, and Senhora do Monte viewpoints, with stops at São Vicente de Fora Monastery and the National Pantheon, ending at Eduardo VII Park. Along the way, your driver weaves together historical facts and delicious stories so every stop is full of meaning and flavour.

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
