Ribeira da Naus is one of the most interesting places in Lisbon. Recently rehabilitated, the former shipyard, where Portuguese sailing ships were once built, is now a surprising river beach, with a large garden area and a sweeping staircase leading down to the river. Although bathing isn’t allowed, this area is ideal for long sunbathes and putting your feet up after exploring the city. It also connects with Cais das Colunas, Praça do Comércio and Cais do Sodré.
