Why MAAT matters
MAAT sits on the riverside near Belem, in a curving white building you can walk up on. The rooftop gives views across the Tagus and the bridge. Next to it is the old power station, now a museum of electricity. It's a good place for sunset.
Talking points
- The roof is part of the experience.
- An old power station sits next door.
- Sunset views are lovely.
