Lisbon activities

The Targus river provides a wonderful centrepiece of the city, and a river cruise is a unique way to see the city from a different point of view. A trip from downtown Lisbon along the river takes you from the historic downtown Baixa area, past the bustling port and marina, and then travels toward the sea. Many of the wonderful historic sights of the capital are also on view, such as the Monument to the Discoveries, the Palace of Belem, and the imposing Monastery of Sao Vincente de Fora, built in the 17th century.
