Pass By: Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco), Avenida Infante Dom Henrique 1C, Lisbon 1100-053 Portugal
The Praça do Comércio (English: Commerce Square) is a large, harbour-facing square in Portugal's capital, Lisbon.
Facing, south, the Tagus (Tejo), the city square is still commonly known as Terreiro do Paço (Palace Yard), as hosted the Paços da Ribeira (Royal Ribeira Palace) until it was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake. After the earthquake, the square was completely remodeled as part of the rebuilding of the Pombaline Downtown, ordered by Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal, who was (chief) Minister of Portugal from 1750 to 1777, during the reign of Dom José I, King of Portugal.
Pass By: Torre de Belem, Avenida Brasilia - Belem, Lisbon 1400-038 Portugal
Belém Tower, officially the Tower of Saint Vincent (Portuguese: Torre de São Vicente) is a 16th-century fortification located in Lisbon that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was built during the height of the Portuguese Renaissance, and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style, but it also incorporates hints of other architectural styles.[4] The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30-metre (98.4 ft), four-storey tower.

A very enjoyable trip around the harbour/estuary, with informative commentary and a friendly crew. A beautiful old boat too. Highly recommended.Warm breezy day on river. Excellent narrator. Saw sights in Belem from the water really not a 105” trip. Boat dropped to a stall in order to stretch to 105”. Pleasant day on the water. Really should be a 3.5 rating.

Very enjoyable experience! The crew was kind and welcoming. The weather was windy with choppy water yet I felt safe on the old sturdy boat. The one element lacking was information. The young woman explained certain things over a mic with an amplifier, however it was still difficult to hear her. She would talk for about 5 minutes and then join the the crew out of earshot from the guests. There were many things that she did not explain and the guests, including myself, had many questions.Booked this on the day with a very polite, friendly lady at the ticket office.

Booked this on the day with a very polite, friendly lady at the ticket office. Crew were friendly and helpful and the commentary (given in English & French) provided an interesting background. The lady who provided it was also happy to answer questions, continually checked everyone was OK. All first class service. Pleasant way to spend an hour on the water and see Lisbon from a different angle.
