Getting there, and getting back

Lisbon to Lisbon — Belém

Belém is downriver from the cruise terminals. Tram 15 is the direct way and the scenic one.

  • The metro does not reach Belém. Tram 15 is the route, and it is heavily used — going out early is materially easier than going out at midday.

Most ships also sell a coach excursion to Lisbon — Belém. However you travel, being back aboard before all-aboard is your own arrangement to make — we publish the journey, not your sailing. Your guide plays either way, and it is yours to keep.

  1. 10–20 min From the Santa Apolónia or Jardim do Tabaco terminals, walk or take the metro one stop to pick up tram 15 in the centre.
  2. 30–45 min Tram 15 west along the river to Belém, roughly every 10 to 15 minutes. The ride itself is about 40 minutes and runs beneath the bridge.
  3. 5–10 min The Belém stops put you within a few minutes of the monastery and the waterfront.

0.8–1.2 hours each way

Plan your return against your ship's all-aboard time, which is on your daily programme. It is earlier than the departure time, and if you are coming back by tender the last tender leaves earlier still.

Journey times are typical, not guaranteed, and nothing here is a schedule. Your ship's all-aboard time is the only one that counts, it is not the same as the departure time, and it is not something we can look up for you — it varies by line and by port and it is printed on your daily programme. If a connection slips, turn around.
