Cacilhas is more than a place to change boats. It is the point where Lisbon becomes a skyline and the river becomes part of your day.
01 / 04
Follow the waterfront
Cacilhas feels animated but unhurried: ferries arrive, local streets meet the water and Lisbon forms the horizon. Give yourself time to look back across the Tagus, walk around the public waterfront and notice how the view changes with the light.

Who will enjoy Cacilhas
It works especially well for first-time visitors, photographers and travellers who want to combine Lisbon with a distinct south-bank neighbourhood. Come for the crossing and skyline, but stay for a café, a meal or a simple waterside walk. Check current ferry information before building the day around a particular departure.
03 / 04
Make the crossing part of the trip
The ferry connects Cacilhas with Cais do Sodré in Lisbon. Check the operator’s current timetable before you travel; services and fares can change.

Eat without rushing
This is a good area to seek out Portuguese cooking and a long meal. Look at current menus and opening hours directly with each restaurant before heading out.
Before you go
Check live ferry, bus, opening and access information before setting out. Services, timetables and access arrangements change, and official providers are the only reliable source.
