The majestic Tagus River flows through the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, offering breathtaking views and iconic landmarks. One cannot miss the Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge), gracefully spanning across the Tagus River, connecting both sides of this vibrant city. As you stroll along its banks, you'll come across the Monument to the Discoveries, a tribute to Portugal's rich maritime history. Standing tall beside the river is also the Tower of Belem, a UNESCO World Heritage site that once guarded Lisbon's entrance. For an awe-inspiring sight, gaze upon the 25th April bridge as it harmoniously coexists with Christ overlooking Lisbon from afar. The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MaT) in Belem adds a modern touch to this historic area while still embracing its riverside charm. Venturing beyond Portugal's borders but still following the course River will lead you to Toledo in Spain. Here lies another remarkable bridge - Toledo Bridge - providing panoramic views over this ancient city and its namesake river. Back in Lisbon, take a ride on Elevador da Bica for an authentic experience that showcases both local life and picturesque scenery along Tagus' shores. And let us not forget about Vasco da Gama bridge – Europe's longest bridge – which spans majestically over these waters. Whether it be admiring stunning city skylines or exploring historical treasures like no other river can offer; Tagus invites you on an unforgettable journey through time and culture in both Portugal and Spain.
