Inaugurated in October 2016 within the framework of EDP Foundation’s long-running policy of cultural patronage, MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology is an international institution dedicated to arouse critical discourse and creative practice with the intent of sparking new understandings about the historical present and a responsible commitment to the future. Located on the riverfront in Lisbon’s historical Belém district, MAAT comprises a former power station built in 1908 – MAAT Central – and a contemporary building – MAAT Gallery – connected via a park that extends along the River Tagus: MAAT Garden. In addition to the programme of temporary exhibitions and activities – Agenda – the museum also features permanent exhibitions such as The Electricity Factory at Central Tejo and the sculptures in the outdoor spaces.
The Fábrica Nacional de Cordoaria, or Cordoaria Nacional, belonged to the Portuguese Navy. This was where the cables, sisal ropes, sails and flags that equipped the Portuguese ships were manufactured. The building, which dates to the 1770s, has been classified as a national monument since 1996. The art gallery, housed in the Torreão Nascente (Eastern Tower), regularly holds major exhibitions from Portuguese and international collections.
The Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge) is an iconic suspension bridge that spans the Tagus River, connecting Portugal's capital, Lisbon, to the municipality of Almada on the south bank. It is a prominent landmark often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco due to its similar design and "International Orange" color, and was built by the same American company. Original Name: The bridge's construction began in November 1962 and it was inaugurated on August 6, 1966. It was originally named the Ponte Salazar (Salazar Bridge) in honor of António de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal's dictator at the time.
Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s most historic and lively neighborhoods, celebrated for its distinct day-and-night contrasts. During the day, it offers a calm atmosphere with traditional architecture, small independent shops, and colorful street art. As night falls, it comes alive as one of the city’s most popular nightlife districts, packed with bars, restaurants, and Fado houses. Perched on a hill, its narrow cobblestone streets blend residential charm with a vibrant commercial scene. Chiado, Lisbon’s perennial upmarket neighbourhood, is a place of studios, original shops, renovated spaces and marvellous pavement cafés for watching the constant coming and going of those shopping, wandering and those still trying to figure out where the river is. Baixa, more traditional and authentic, serves up souvenir shops, famous patisseries and adventurous eateries. Take your time to discover the streets and corners and all their charms.
Important commerce square in the old days is now a relaxing and beautiful square with bars, shops and an amazing view for the river.
Important castle built to defend the city. Old neighborhoods grew around it.
Alfama, the oldest and most traditional neighbourhood in Lisbon, with cobbled lanes and alleys and steep, gruelling inclines, should be discovered little by little, stopping frequently to savour the view, atmosphere and authentic spirit of the oldest side of the capital. Take a deep breath and start to climb the hill that will reveal one of the best views of the city.
Beautiful church
Almada, on the south bank of the River Tagus, has undoubtedly the best view of the city of Lisbon. The most outstanding views are from the castle, the panoramic funicular of the Boca do Vento (Mouth of the Wind), and above all the statue of Christ the King, built in 1959. In past centuries, Almada was a popular summer resort for the Court, which ordered the construction of stately homes and buildings that are still preserved in the city. Life in Almada does not revolve only around the capital, where most of its inhabitants work; it is a city with its own life, the setting for well-attended events like the Theatre Festival.

We had a great night. Bennie was amazing and gave us some great history on Portugal. She was very entertaining and engaging. Would definitely recommend this excursion to family and friends. 😊😊
We had a phenomenal experience on our sunset cruise!! Our captains, Luis and Duarte were amazing, so personable, and extremely knowledgeable! They provided a wonderful experience, it was the perfect last night of our honeymoon!!
This was a great way for us to end our visit to Lisbon. We had a group of six of us and they really made the afternoon sunset cruise special. Antonio and Mateus were friendly and knowledgeable and it was a fun night. It was really great to see some of the sights from the water. I would highly recommend you sail with them!
Beautiful views but being from South Georgia USA we were cold. Crew provided blankets which made all the difference🥰
One of the best experiences of my life. Me and my girlfriend were very lucky to be the only people on the boat. The two staff members were very friendly, explained a few of the sights but were very happy to let us sit at the front of the boat in peace. They always made sure our drinks were topped up. The fee of roughly €64 each was a brilliant price for the 2 hour trip.

This was one of the highlights of our recent Lisbon trip. The unique perspective of the Monuments and the shoreline from the water just can't be beat. Our crew, Miguel and Luis, were extremely well informed on Portuguese history, so the tour was interesting as well as just so much fun. The evening we sailed was absolutely perfect, with a stunning sunset. So, my review is indeed glowing, like that sunset......
