Since 2017, visitors have had the opportunity to experience the Experi\u00eancia Pilar 7 by visiting the viewing platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Experi\u00eancia Pilar 7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The entrance to Experi\u00eancia Pilar 7 is below the bridge. First you get to the ticket office and from there you follow large metal plates in the ground outside. I found them quite hard to read, they also always show information about the bridge construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nBelow the bridge is a climbing rock where new routes were being set when we visited. Anyone who wants to can be shown how to climb here. An information board informs about the offers for which a fee is charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn an adjacent building, we went through a security gate into an area with a small interactive exhibition. First we were taken to a huge high room. The history of the building was projected onto the walls. Well done, but as the room was quite high, our necks quickly hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nA staff member led us further to a glass lift that took us to a viewing platform. This platform is directly on the level of the car road where the traffic roars. It was loud – so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou stand on the platform at a height of 65 metres and can also look down through gratings or a scratched glass floor. The view over the Tagus is simply beautiful. When we visited, the morning haze was still over the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor us, up there it was something like a journey back to our run across the bridge. Here, too, the gratings gave us a view down. Trains passed underneath us, but the noise was made by the runners, not the cars. The view had already thrilled me then and this time I could hardly get enough of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe were alone on the rather small viewing platform and could stay as long as we wanted. However, I can imagine that during the season there may be waiting times and perhaps shortened visiting hours so that all visitors can experience the Experi\u00eancia Pilar 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAddress:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Av. da \u00cdndia 52, 1300-299 Lisboa, Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardly any other building has captivated us as much as the Ponte 25 de Abril. We walked across the bridge on our first visit to the city, but this time we were drawn to a breathtaking viewing platform, the Experi\u00eancia Pilar 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[221],"tags":[85,97],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
