Sightseeing Sunset Sailboat Tour along Tagus River

The Torre de Belém is a fortification located on the right bank of the Tagus River, where Belém beach once existed, it was originally surrounded by water along its entire perimeter. Over the centuries it was surrounded by the beach, until today it became part of dry land.
Over time, the tower lost its function of defending the Tagus River. On the four floors of the tower, the Governor's Room, the Kings Room, the Audience Room and, finally, the Chapel with its characteristic 16th century vaults remain.
The monument stands out for its implicit nationalism, as it is completely surrounded by decorations from the Coat of Arms of Portugal, including inscriptions of Portuguese crosses.
Together with the Jerónimos Monastery, it was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and elected as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal in 2007. In 2015 it was visited by more than 608 thousand tourists. In 2022, it registered 377,780 entries, making it one of the most visited monuments in the country. Entry +/- €8

Tagus River is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula.
In Lisbon, the Tagus estuary is crossed by two bridges. The oldest is the Ponte 25 de Abril (opened in 1966, then Ponte Salazar), one of the largest suspension bridges in Europe, which connects the capital of Portugal to Almada. The other is the Vasco da Gama Bridge, about 17 km long. It was opened in 1998 and connects Lisbon (Sacavém) to Alcochete, Moita and Montijo.
In its estuary there is an ecological reserve (Tejo Estuary Natural Reserve, based in Alcochete) where several species of birds nest. Due to the great pollution of the river, there are no dolphins permanently, but in recent years, during the summer, specimens have appeared and, after a good fishing trip, return to the sea.
