Sails of Lisbon 2015

Organized by “Associação Nacional Cruzeiros” with the support of “CML”, “EGEAC” and riverside parishes, this initiative, integrated in the “Festas de Lisboa”, will provide a unique experience to those who participate in it and an unforgettable spectacle to those who see it from the banks of the river.

Lisbon, capital of the sea, hosts today the second edition of “Sails of Lisbon 2015”. A sunset regatta that is expected to bring together more than a hundred boats on the Tagus.

Organized by “Associação Nacional Cruzeiros” with the support of “CML”, “EGEAC” and riverside parishes, this initiative, integrated in the “Festas de Lisboa”, will provide a unique experience to those who participate in it and an unforgettable spectacle to those who see it from the banks of the river.

The boats depart from Alcântara at 20:00 (30 minutes before sunset) and travel along the estuary of the Tagus riverside area. After the arrival of the boats in the Belém area, from 22:00 there will be a meeting on the upstream pier of the Belém dock.

Moonlight, Tagus and Lisbon, three ingredients for a unique and magical night, in a city reconciled with its river that opens increasingly to the sea.
