1) Scenic walk (approx. 90 minutes ~7km)

For those who enjoy exploring Lisbon on foot, a walk from Saldanha to Doca de Alcântara offers a pleasant route through some of the city’s most interesting neighbourhoods.

Start at Saldanha and head south towards Praça do Marquês de Pombal, then continue down the elegant Avenida da Liberdade, a grand, tree-lined boulevard known for its elegant buildings, shops, and cafés.

As you reach Praça do Comércio, the city suddenly opens into a vast, sunlit square where arcaded buildings frame the shimmering Tagus and the elegant Arco da Rua Augusta marks the gateway back into the old streets. From there, continue along the river toward Cais do Sodré, where the walk becomes breezy and animated, with wide promenades, street life, and the water always glinting beside you.

From Cais do Sodré, follow the waterfront west along Avenida 24 de Julho. This stretch is especially pleasant, with open river views and a lively mix of marinas, bars, and cultural spaces. As you approach Alcântara, the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge rises overhead, marking a striking end to the walk.

Doca de Alcântara is located just below the bridge and is a vibrant dock area filled with restaurants, terraces, and nightlife.
