Routes

Transtejo & Soflusa operates 5 routes across the Tagus.
  • Cais do Sodré - Cacilhas
  • Cais do Sodré - Seixal
  • Cais do Sodré - Montijo
  • Belém - Porto Brandão - Trafaria
  • Terreiro do Paço - Barreiro

Lisbon lies on the River Tagus (Rio Tejo), about 10km from its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean. The river is about 2km wide opposite the city center and its depth reaches a maximum of 41 meters about two-thirds of the way across from Lisbon to Cacilhas. For many years there was a very intensive service of conventional ferry boats to half a dozen destinations on the southern bank. However, with the opening of the Fertagus railway line and the new Vasco da Gama road bridge, services have been reduced but nevertheless remain frequent to Cacilhas and Barreiro and less frequent to Seixal and Montijo. Catamarans are now exclusively used to the more distant destinations on the 'Outra Banda', the southern side of the river. Until the new Millenium, there were five ferry terminals (estações fluvial) on the Lisbon side of the Tagus, though the first two mentioned below, the Estação do Sul e Sueste and the Cais da Alfândega were adjacent and effectively one site.

This route is not very interesting. "Barreiro" is an industrial city and a dormitory of Lisbon.
Not interesting.
