Detailed description
On land and water: Lisbon city tour by amphibious bus
The historic capital of Portugal, the western country of the Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic, is a huge city full of culture, monuments, museums and a living reminder of the past wealth of the seafaring nation. If you want to get to know something new on holiday, taste local, traditional cuisine and immerse yourself in a different form of society, there is no way around the picturesque Lisbon. Between the mountainous topography of the country, this city nestles around the Tagus, which is particularly wide at this point and has helped the city a lot in its development.
If you like to visit cities on large rivers, you know that you can usually either take a city tour or a river tour. This Lisbon city tour by amphibious bus will allow you both in an adventurous and refreshingly different way at the same time. Experience the multi-faceted old town of the state capital from a strange-looking vehicle. The tour starts and ends at the Santo Amaro Dock, from where the tour leads over the Praça do Comécrio with the famous equestrian statue of José I. and the majestic Arco da Rua Augusta, the entrance to the centre of Lisbon. Afterwards you visit the Praça Marquês de Pombal with the statue of the Marquis of Pombal. Passing by the beautiful green and natural park Jardim da Estrela and passing the Museum of Electricity you will explore as the last point on land a work of incomparable architecture, the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, also known as Hieronymite Monastery. Now begins the adventurous part of the unusual Lisbon city tour in an amphibious bus. If the vehicle that has taken you so reliably through the roads so far drives directly into the water of the Tagus. This exciting feeling accompanies you as you admire the district of Belém from the water. A highlight here is the Torre de Belém, a bright white historic watchtower that not only looks solid but is also a feast for the eyes. Soon after that we go back again to finish the varied tour on wheels. But if you expect a typical guide who simply gives the facts at every point, you will be disappointed. In a fun and playful way, the dedicated animators will introduce you to myths, legends and curiosities in the 90-minute show full of fun and laughter as well as interaction with the tour guests. A truly unforgettable experience.

An amazing city tour combining land and water experiences! Highly recommend!
I must say it exceeded all expectations! The guides made the journey not only informative but also incredibly entertaining. Thanks to Maria and Carlos. From the iconic landmarks viewed from the bus to the breathtaking perspectives from the boat, every moment was unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the city from a unique dual perspective!Real rarity
As a frequent traveler, I have already seen a lot of funny companions for city tours and sightseeing tours. But the Lisbon amphibious bus is probably unique and rustic anyway. Every Lisbon traveler should come along at some point.Echte Rarität
Als Vielgereister habe ich schon eine Menge lustiger Gefährte für Stadtrundfahrten und Sightseeingtouren gesehen. Der Lissabonner Amphibienbus aber ist wohl einmalig und urig sowieso. Jeder Lissabon Reisende sollte mal mitgefahren sein.The kids loved it
A city tour that is also fun for the children and about which they have something to tell after school. A great experience and at the same time we saw something of the city.Die Kinder haben es geliebt
Eine Stadtrundfahrt, die auch den Kindern Spaß macht und von der sie noch nach dem Urlaub in der Schule was zu erzählen haben. Ein tolles Erlebnis und gleichzeitig haben wir auch noch was von der Stadt gesehen.Fascinating
This swimming bus is really crazy. The tour is also quite nice, but the highlight is clearly this vehicle.Faszinierend
