Aqueduto das Águas Livres — Attraction in Lisbon

Awesome place and I have visited many time. The staff is super polite and seem to enjoy their work. I thought I'd comment about the review by Andre Hamel, and it points to the greater issue people sometime leaving reviews without being fully informed. Andre, went during the one day per month that cyclists are allowed to travel across the aquaduct. Cyclists are not allowed to travel across the aquaduct during the other 29 days per month. In addition, the aquaduct is only open for cyclists from 10am to 1pm on that last Sunday of the month. Andre had to leave a review about his experience when he attended during the only 3 hour time window in a 30 day month and then with the few brain cell he had remaining in his head, he left a bad review that did not fully take into account his poor timing. There is a special place in hell for people that leave bad reviews without full knowledge. The staff does not normally allow pedestrians during this very short time window, but they have been known to do so. Also, all museums in the Lisbon are free to all Portuguese residents on Sundays only, and all the cyclists are residents, so no, they along with every EU resident or citizen do not have to pay to gain admission to any museum in the city. I would also venture to say that if you showed up on even a rented cycle on the last Sunday of the month you could get in without paying as the staff assumes you're a resident if you have a bicycle. In any case, the experience of the aquaduct is truly an unique one that if you have the time to walk across it, you...

Beautiful Portuguese engineering. I saw this giant bridge structure during the flight into Lisbon airport from the air and I became intrigued and amazed at this structure. I googled it and managed to find it here!

Entrance point is the location on the map. Ticket is €4 and €2 for students. You cannot go over to the other side and have to turn back to the starting point.

Truly mesmerising view to look over the houses, highways, trains, and planes that are about to land. Focus on the sound you hear.. it’s a good place to relax and think about things.

It could feel a little scary as it is quite high from the ground. Maybe don’t go if you are afraid of heights.

Overall very good experience and I will definitely return...

Interesting and informative way to learn about something a little different. Very impressive structure especially when you consider it survived the terrible earthquake which devastated so much of the city, due to it's clever design and engineering. You can walk about three quarters of the way along on one side then pass through the centre where you can see where the water flowed, then walk back to the start of the other side. The best bit is it is deserted, only a couple of other tourists so you can stop as much as you like to enjoy the heady heights and sensational views. Bit tricky to get to the starting point. Find the Musea da Agua and you're there. Not expensive. Discount for the Lisbon card...
