Every day ferries run back and forth across the River Tagus to several different ports. So yesterday we decided to try one. We boarded - using our metro cards - at the terminal next to the Praca do Commercio (one of three terminals on the river) and took the ferry to Barreiro. The ride was interesting - about 30 minutes - and the views lovely. As far as Barreiro is concerned, it removes any illusions that all Portuguese towns are charming. Other than a nice, if small, park and two tile-fronted buildings the city is totally lacking in charm.
We had coffee and caught the next ferry back to Lisbon. The view of Lisbon from the water was worth the trip.
