Getting There By Water

The Port of Lisbon (website: www.portodelisboa.com/ingles/pg-alcan.html ), located in the south of the city, along the River Tagus, is becoming an increasingly important stop on the international cruise ship circuit. Cruise ships call at Alcntara Dock, Rocha do Conde de bidos and Santa Apolnia. There are five marinas that receive private boats and provide mooring – Bom Sucesso, Belm, Santo Amaro, Alcntara and Olivais. Information is available from the Gesto da Nutica de Recreio (tel: (21) 392 2011; fax: (21) 392 2038). Facilities at Alcntara include conference and event space, parking and various nightlife venues.

Ferry services: There are no long-distance ferries (see Getting Around for cross-river services).

Transport to the city: Tram, bus and rail services all run along the riverfront.
