Telecabine Lisbon

Telecabine Lisbon is an aerial tramway spanning the Tagus River in Parque das Nações, connecting two major park landmarks. The journey travels high above the water, providing views of the river and shoreline throughout the crossing.

The tramway opened in 1998 for World Expo 98, when Lisbon's eastern waterfront underwent major redevelopment. It was built as part of the transformation that turned the Tagus area into a modern leisure destination.

The aerial tramway shows visitors the modern design of Parque das Nações, where museums and bridges define the skyline. From the cabins, travelers see contemporary architecture and the revitalized waterfront that changed how Lisbon looks today.

The ride requires no special preparation since the cabins are user-friendly and accessible year-round. It is best to visit during calm weather, as strong wind or rain can sometimes affect operations.

The cabins are designed so that crossing over the river gives clear views of the water and bridges below. Many visitors notice how the perspective from above reveals the scale and width of the Tagus.
