• Go for a drink and a snack at Atira-te ao Rio. Very quiet atmosphere, especially at sunset. • Do the pedestrian route to the Boca do Vento elevator and go up to the viewpoint. You have an incredible view over the Tagus River and the city. • Take the ferry and make a mixed plan Cacilhas + Lisbon. The terminal is very practical for this. • If you like photography or video, the old industrial area and the warehouses by the river have a very cinematic aesthetic. • Have dinner with seafood or grilled fish in a typical tavern. On Rua Cândido dos Reis there are several spots with a livelier atmosphere. • If you go by bike, the route between Cacilhas and Cristo Rei has short climbs but is very worthwhile for the view

It's worth making the 10-minute ferry journey from Cais do Sodré station in Lisbon to Cacilhas across the river. This waterfront district on the southern bank of the Tagus offers one of the most beautiful views of Lisbon and has several restaurants known for their fresh fish. That journey is made on a "cacilheiro," a single-hull ferry that does the public transportation service between the two sides of the river. As soon as you arrive in Cacilhas, you can smell the fish being grilled, inviting you to take a break for a meal before visiting the Cristo Rei monument nearby or before an afternoon at the beach. In Rua Cândido dos Reis alone (a pedestrian street found a few feet from the ferry station), you have around 20 restaurants to choose from, most serving traditional Portuguese cuisine. On this street, you may visit the Church of Our Lady of Safe Homecoming, built in 1759 with a beautiful gilded interior and decorative tile panels. Across the road you find a large vessel (the "D. Fernando II e Glória"), which may be visited daily except Mondays. It dates from 1843 and connected Lisbon to the Portuguese colonies in India.

The ferry crossing costs 1.30 euros and can be loaded onto the VIVA Viagem card. Bicycle free of charge. But only a maximum of 4 bikes per trip. I had the impression that I was on an island ... A friendly village with nice restaurants. and consistently cheaper than on the Lisbon side. Really recommended 🇵🇹
