About the Porto Brandão – Trafaria crossing
This short crossing is primarily a local link connecting two ferry terminals on the south bank of the River Tagus, enabling onward travel to Lisbon's Belém district. Both Porto Brandão and Trafaria offer direct ferry connections to Belém, Pedrouços, and Algés, all operated by Transtejo Soflusa (TTSL). The crossing between the two south bank ports takes between 10 and 15 minutes to cover the one nautical mile distance.
