A Spanish-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Spanish interpreter). A limited number of Spanish guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; tours guided in English are available at www.hollandamerica.com.
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 and 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.
The April 25 Bridge spans the River Tagus. It is an immense span similar to the Golden Gate, with the towering Christ the King statue on the far side.
Return to the ship at the pier in Lisbon.
