Discover Portugal’s vibrant and lively capital city on your cruise to Lisbon. Straddling seven hills and hugging the banks of the River Tagus, crowned by the storybook castle of São Jorge, Lisbon is a visually stunning destination, and arriving by sea is the perfect way to experience it. The nation’s centuries of nautical heritage are concentrated in Lisbon, with the riverside Belém district marking the starting point for Portuguese navigators like Magellan and Vasco da Gama. Today, cruise ship passengers disembark not far from that historic spot. The city also boasts modern attractions, with its rumbling yellow trams, stately plazas, irresistible patisseries, and bluesy fado music.
