"Águas Livres Aqueduct A national monument,Lisbon’s massive aqueduct was a remarkable feat of hydraulic engineering when it was built between 1731 and 1799 to supply the city with water. Spanning some 36 miles, it boasts 109 stone arches, the most dramatic of which are the 35 that cross the Alcântara Valley—they survived the 1755 earthquake remarkably intact. Tour the aqueduct, then head to the Príncipe Real neighborhood, where the Mãe d’Água das Amoreiras reservoir now functions as a museum. You can also stop for some wine at Chafariz do Vinho, a wine barbuilt inside the aqueduct system."

Fabulous aqueduct constructed by the Romans with great views of the city from the top. There is a museum with information of the history of the duct, as well as allowing access to marvel the view. It wasn't busy at the time of visit but that's probably something to do with being off-season. Nearby public transport is available but beware, the walk does require a bit of climbing steep hills, and there are no direct lifts to take you there. There is however a road accessibility so driving, taking a cab or using the bus is an option for those who don't wish to take a hike.

Great place to visit on a sunny day. Mind blowing that this was built in the 18th century. You can walk on both sides of the aqueduct enjoying the view. Not sure why, but the entrance was free today.

I arrived at 1:20 pm to find it closed until 1:30 (lunch break, I think), but the nice security guard suggested I walk down the road to take photos of the aqueduct from below. Back at the entrance, I read (and photographed for later reading) the interpretive panels about the structure’s origins and construction (there is not a real museum), then walked on the east side as far as we’re allowed, just past the middle support, then back on the west side. Very high up! Good urban views.

Was closed on May 1, so we returned the next morning. It costs 4 EUR for adults to enter. There is also a brief history near the entrance. Unfortunately you can’t enter the tunnel itself, where water flew, but you can walk on top, with great view over the city. Note, the wall is high enough, so not scary with little kids, however they either need to be taller to be able to see or need to be lifted. Overall was a great experience.

Amazing views of all of Lisbon. ..everything but the Aquaducts. Beware that the structure is almost 1.6km long, and has one point of entry only. So you're going to want to bring an umbrella and make a trip to the washroom prior. €4 entry, €2 for students and seniors.

If you are a fan of engineering or history then you should definitely consider a visit to the Aquaduct. Keep your expectations in check. There's not a lot to do here and there's not much of a museum in the traditional sense but it is a very impressive landmark. It was built in the first half of the 1700s and survived the great earthquake of Lisbon unscathed. Best of all, you get to walk on it almost all the way across the freeway. You also get to walk inside of it briefly which is pretty amazing.

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 here one day…

On a first look very massive structure which was used for water transport to the other parts of the city, One can see spectacular view from Campolide railway station
