Lisbon by foot and rail

We had an afternoon arrival into Lisbon, sailing into the mouth of the Tagus River and past Belem Tower, docking at 3pm.

No bus for us today, our tour of the city was by foot and rail. We only had a group of 12, and began with a walk to Praça Comercio, the main square on the waterfront. From there we caught the 25 tram to Estela Church, had a refreshment break in Estela Gardens then walked on to the Principe area.

We had free time to explore the local shops, and festivities in the park before walking to Miradouro Observation Point and catching the funicular down the hill toward the main square and crowded restaurant strip, with hundreds of locals enjoying dinner al fresco.

Finally, we caught the metro back to the cruise dock, arriving at 8pm, having walked 11.3km for the day! We had just enough energy to grab a couple of caches outside the cruise terminal before boarding for late dinner and an Abba themed farewell party in the lounge bar.

We are in dock overnight before disembarking at 9am tomorrow.もっと詳しく
