Sudip Phuyal
★★★★★2 months agoI really enjoyed visiting MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. The museum itself is modern, unique, and beautifully designed, with interesting exhibitions inside. What I loved even more was the outside architecture — the building is stunning and perfect for photos. The rooftop and surrounding area offer amazing views, and you can capture beautiful pictures with the 25 de Abril Bridge in the background and MAAT in the foreground. It creates a really iconic Lisbon view. Even if you’re not deeply into museums, it’s still worth visiting for the architecture, riverside atmosphere, and photography opportunities. Highly recommended when in Lisbon!

★★★★★7 months agoFascinating! We were there for several hours enjoying the art installations and the exhibits of the power generation tech from the past. Very cool! The piece de resistance though was the beautifully designed architectural masterpiece tucked adjacent to the old power station.
