Aqueduto das Águas Livres - view point

**★★★★★ David Stejkowski — 5 months ago

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve passed under the Águas Livres Aqueduct many times while driving through Lisbon, and it never loses its impact. The soaring arches across the Alcântara Valley are both beautiful and impressive, a reminder of how advanced 18th-century engineering really was. It feels like history towering over modern life as cars zip underneath. Even if you only see it while driving, it’s one of those landmarks that makes Lisbon unforgettable.

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, takin

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.

We were in Lisbon for a few days. We took several tour by bus and we frequently passed under or by the graceful arches of the aqueduct. I believe it was built in the mid 1700s and has survived earth quakes. It is an amazing structure and so beautiful. A magnificent engineering accomplishment.

I took a Bolt to this location and passed under the Aqueduct, past the Mosanto Forest and ended up near the Lisbon Architectural University. Was a bit surprised. There was a park and a lot of houses. The view was neither here nor there as you will need binoculars to see the bridge. Maybe my map directions were off. I was able to walk down towards the old town and saw the D Carlos Statue and the Museum but was quite a fair walk.
