The sunsets over the Tagus with which Lisbon's views were breathtaking. A highlight was passing by the Monument of the Discoveries and seeing twinkling city lights. Perfect in its tranquility thanks to a great crew.
The tour was truly a spectacle. The Belem Tower at sunset was indescribable with beautiful landscape and the slow rhythm of the boat while the wonderful view of the city was mesmerizing.
Definitely do this sunset cruise! The sunset view of Belem Tower and the entire riverside area were just stunning. An amazing way to see Lisbon like never before and many opportunities for great photos. Don't miss it!
