[2025 Belem Attraction] Travel Guide for MAAT (Updated Jan)

Loved my time at MAAT! The museum is composed of three main parts. The first is located in the old power plant (Tejo Power Station), the garden (which I didn't explore much), and the new building. The museum tends to focus on quality rather than quantity. They have a total of 3-4 exhibits, but they are quite large in scale. The new building itself is beautiful, a strange space that is long and narrow without straight lines. What exhibitions you get to see depends on your luck, as this space requires something dramatic. It reminds one of the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the Tate Modern in London. At the top of MAAT, there is a lovely terrace offering stunning views of the Tagus River and its bridges, along with a nice café. Behind the building, there is a bridge leading to the street, connecting to nearby tram and bus stops, making it convenient to combine your visit with other major attractions in the Belém area, such as the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, National Coach Museum, and the famous Pastéis de Belém. If you are staying in Lisbon for a few days, a visit to MAAT is highly recommended.

#thingstodo MATT is one of the most important museum in Lisbon , this place is about art, architecture and technology. Today, I have been this museum to go sightseeing. The building is easy to recognise with the big logo and it is made by the red bricks. The view of outside MATT is incredible, you can see the The 25 de Abril Bridge in the observation point of MATT. Overall, it was a good experience to walk around there and see the ocean view. #Lisbon
