Step aboard the Leão Holandês, the historic sailing vessel that pioneered nautical tourism in Portugal, and experience Lisbon from the same waters that welcomed explorers, merchants and travellers for centuries. As the city slowly unfolds before you, discover that this journey is about much more than monuments. It's about vision. While sailing along the Tagus, you'll hear the remarkable story of a Dutch couple who arrived in Portugal and saw what no one else could.
In a country shaped by the sea, they imagined a completely new way of experiencing Lisbon. That vision became the beginning of nautical tourism in Portugal. What started with one simple question grew into an industry that today creates businesses, jobs and opportunities for thousands of Portuguese families.
Throughout the journey, admire Lisbon's most iconic landmarks from the river while enjoying a carefully selected Portuguese tasting served on board. Relax to the gentle rhythm of the Tagus and discover the inspiring legacy of the Leão Holandês. Return home with beautiful photographs—but above all, with the story of a vision that transformed the way Portugal experiences the river.
