Yellow Boat on the Tagus

Why Pair Bus + Boat

  • Two vantage points: rooftops from the bus, skyline from the river.
  • Flexible timing: hop off in Belém, float back for sunset.

Photo Strategy by Light

  • Midday: Architecture detail shots at Jerónimos and MAAT.
  • Golden hour: 25 de Abril Bridge silhouettes from the boat.
  • Blue hour: River reflections near MAAT.

Gear and Seats

  • Phone lens: Wide + 2x portrait for skyline frames.
  • Top deck: Front‑left for Cais do Sodré → Belém.
  • Boat: Starboard side leaving Cais do Sodré.

Timing Checklist

  • Belém loop by 13:00
  • Board Yellow Boat ~16:00–17:00
  • Return to Cais do Sodré for dinner

Bring a windbreaker — decks get breezy when the river opens up.
