Pro tips to help you make a pick

Bring a camera—the rooftop and riverside gardens are among Lisbon’s most photogenic spots.

Check the MAAT website for current exhibitions and special events before your visit.

The Electricity Factory is especially engaging for kids and families—don’t miss the interactive science displays.

The on-site café offers great river views, but prices are higher than average—consider stopping for a coffee and pastry.

Free lockers are available for large bags, as backpacks aren’t allowed in the galleries.
