Visible from any of Lisbon’s famous seven hills, the Tagus River (Rio Tejo) serves as a lasting symbol of the city. The river port, one of the busiest in Europe, welcomes a constant flow of container ships and cruise liners. Along the Lisbon riverfront, sightseeing boats and ferries traverse the waters, offering both locals and visitors a dynamic view of the bustling maritime activity. The river’s presence shapes the city’s landscape and provides a vital connection to the Atlantic Ocean, making it a central part of Lisbon’s identity.
