A Dutch-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Dutch interpreter). A limited number of Dutch guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; please see Lisbon Highlights for the same tour guided in English.
A panoramic drive gives you a chance to enjoy Lisbon's highlights. Watch for Avenida da Liberdade, with its mosaic-lined sidewalks, Black Horse Square and the Park Edward VII viewpoint with a magnificent view of the city.
View from the outside the Jeronimos Monastery, a 16th-century architectural masterpiece designed in Gothic-Manueline style built to commemorate the discoveries of the Portuguese navigators.
Step inside the Maritime Museum, and nearby you will see the lavishly decorated Belém Tower. Watch for the Monument to the Discoveries, erected in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.
Stretching across the River Tagus is the April 25th Bridge. This immense span is sister to the Golden Gate, with the towering Christ the King statue on the far side.
Return to the ship at the pier in Lisbon.
Notes:
Inside church visit(s) may not be possible if religious services are being held. The Jeronimos Museum is closed on Mondays and will be viewed from the outside only.
