Pass the Belem Tower and Discovery Monument
Sail past the 16th-century Belem Tower, a limestone landmark that served as a ceremonial gateway to the city. Nearby, you will see the Discovery Monument, which commemorates the Portuguese Age of Exploration.
3

Glide under the Ponte 25 de Abril
Look up as the sailboat passes beneath this massive suspension bridge, which bears a striking resemblance to the Golden Gate. You will also see the towering Christ the King statue overlooking the riverbanks.

View the MAAT and Jeronimos Monastery
