This accessible Lisbon shore excursion may be the perfect overview of the charming Portuguese capital with a memorable driving tour through the heart of Lisbon, the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site Jerónimos Monastery, the Miradouro Nossa Senhora do Monte viewpoint.
Meet your knowledgeable guide and accessible van for a panoramic drive through the heart of Lisbon, home to the best and most cherished highlights of the city. You will experience the vibrant Baixa area, which is the commercial and historic heart of the city. Portugal's unique "palombine" and neo-Classical architecture loom large here among pedestrianized streets and trendy shops. You will also see Lisbon's Lower Town, the Santa Justa Lift and, of course, Rossio Square.
The Nossa Senhora do Monte viewpoint sends your camera's panoramic setting into overdrive. The sweeping views stretch all the way to the Tagus River.
Make your way through the authentic Bairro Alto Parish to see the beautiful 18th-century Estrela Basilica. You'll follow the famous old wooden tram route 28 and see the Palácio de São Bento -- home to the Portuguese Parliament.
In Belem, watch for the Tagus River, the iconic Monument to the Discoveries, and the fortified Tower of Belem -- Lisbon's postcard-worthy landmark.
Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site Jerónimos Monastery to appreciate the Manueline architecture purchased by Portugal's immense commercially driven wealth.
View the April 25th Bridge, Christ the King Statue, Praca do Commercio, and the port of Lisbon as you return to the ship.

This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair. The tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs.

An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Lunch is not included.
