We are sailing on msc orchestra on 18th June 2023. My husband will e using a collapsable mobility scooter as he has breathing difficulties. Does anyone have any advice on an excursion please?

 Lisbon is a nightmare of steep (very steep) streets.

 

The most even  and easiest ground is to be found in the Belem area where there is actually much to see and do.  Look online for info then choose to suit your interests as you won't have time to see and do everything there on a one day visit. You could for example spend an entire day in the Maritime Museum.

 

If he can manage public transport Belem should be an easy bus or tram ride, or take a taxi instead if that would be easier. Should be a straight run from your docking point.

 

You will sail into and out of Lisbon past the Belem area and will see the Tower of Belem, just one of the sights to be found  there.

Taxis are reasonable (and very honest) in Lisbon. Whatever you decide to do, I recommend them as easy transportation.

Plenty of taxis available at the port but we took a tuk tuk which was fun and, as it was a very hot day, we had open sides.  The driver made suggestions where to see but also asked what we wanted to see. Really enjoyed it.
