What you need to know
- One way or round trip: a one-way ticket drops you at the other station, so you can ride one way and walk back along the river
- Buy before you board: tickets are sold at the ground-floor ticket offices or online, can't be refunded, and don't expire
- Combo with the Oceanarium: a joint round-trip ticket covers both, and the south station sits right beside the aquarium
About
A gondola line built for Expo '98, running 1,230 meters over the edge of the Tagus about 30 meters up. The 40 enclosed cabins seat eight, with automatic doors. Kids get a view of the Oceanarium, the Vasco da Gama Bridge and the river, and the ride lasts 8 to 12 minutes.
The south station is beside the Oceanarium, the north one beside the Vasco da Gama Tower.
