Tejo Promenade

The Tejo Promenade is a wide, flat walkway alongside the river in Lisbon, running from the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge toward Torre de Belem and lined with benches, green patches, and modern sculptures. The roughly three-kilometer path is smooth and accessible for all, offering clear views of the water, boats, and bridges throughout the walk.

The promenade was built to offer people a place outside the busy streets where they could enjoy views of the water and passing boats. Over decades, it became a favorite route connecting important areas of the city and reflecting Lisbon's long relationship with the river as a vital waterway.

The name refers to the river that has defined Lisbon for centuries, and the promenade reflects how locals weave the waterfront into their daily routines. You will see joggers, families, and friends gathering on benches to watch boats pass, making it a living gathering space where the city meets its water.

The path is level and wide with benches spaced regularly, making it accessible for all ages and fitness levels without steep slopes or difficult terrain. Small cafes and snack stands are scattered along the route, so you can easily stop for a drink or quick bite during your walk.

Along certain sections of the walk, you will find small plaques that tell stories of ships that once came to Lisbon and goods transported across the water over centuries. These details quietly preserve the commercial history of the city at its waterfront and invite visitors to discover layers of the past while taking a simple stroll.
