Sunset cruise There’s something cinematic about drifting along a river, a wide, open sky stretching abo - ve you and a light wind rustling your hair. De - light your special someone with a boat ride down the Tagus, which is best taken at sun - set, just to behold Lisbon’s seven hills bathed in a soft golden glow.
