Ballooning is an aeronautical pursuit involving the use of a hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon holds the distinction of being the oldest aerial transport vehicle in human engineering, with a history spanning three centuries. Its origins trace back to Leonardo Da Vinci, who conceptualized the first sketch.   Portugal played a pivotal role in the evolution of ballooning. In 1709, before King D. João V, Bartolomeu de Gusmão demonstrated an ambitious spirit by making a paper globe rise four meters high for the first time.   In terms of safety, ballooning enjoys recognition from the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) as the safest aerial activity, boasting accident rates that are close to zero.   During this experience, connect with nature in its purest form. Encounter an expansive space without the crowds, embrace the sound of silence, and relish the gentle breeze and fragrances of the Alentejo. Travel Inti welcomes you to this remarkable journey.

Navy Museum Museu de Marinha Lisbon   The Museu de Marinha (Navy Museum) in Lisbon is one of the most significant museums in Portugal, showcasing the rich maritime history that has shaped the nation's culture, identity, and global influence. Located near the iconic Jerónimos Monastery in the Belém district, the museum offers visitors an in-depth journey through the centuries of naval exploration, discovery, and warfare. Founded in 1863, the museum's collections are vast and diverse, with over 17,000 items that span the entire history of the Portuguese Navy. The museum is divided into several sections, each dedicated to a specific period or aspect of Portugal’s naval heritage. Visitors can explore displays of ship models, naval uniforms, weapons, maps, navigational instruments, and paintings, all telling the story of Portugal's role in global exploration, including the Age of Discoveries, which began in the 15th century. One of the museum's highlights is the impressive collection of maritime art, including detailed ship models that showcase the evolution of naval architecture. Additionally, the Núcleo Museológico da Fragata D. Fernando II e Glória houses the Frigate D. Fernando II e Glória, a decommissioned ship that offers visitors a rare chance to step aboard a historic vessel. The museum also has a dedicated section on the Portuguese Navy's modern history, with exhibits focusing on naval battles, ship technology, and the strategic importance of the Navy in both wartime and peacekeeping efforts. For those interested in science and astronomy, the Planetário de Marinha (Navy Planetarium) offers engaging astronomy shows, helping to connect Portugal’s maritime heritage with the science of navigation and the exploration of the seas.

Old Lisbon Tram #28 has long been the hallmark of the city. Almost every tourist who visits Lisbon wants to ride it, and that is why there are always queues and in the high season you can stand for several hours waiting for your turn.   Trams in Lisbon appeared in 1873 and they looked different. These were horse-drawn wagons. They delighted the locals. These trams came to Portugal from America and the inhabitants called them "carro americano".  

And in 1901, the first electric cars appeared. And then the tram routes began to expand rapidly. Later, buses and the metro would join the city transport, and some tram tracks were removed as unnecessary, except for those in the historical center. The thing is that in some old areas the streets are so narrow and winding that the bus simply cannot pass there. And while riding in a tram through one-way streets, you can even touch the walls of houses.

---

In total, there are 5 tram routes in Lisbon now. Old Lisbon Tram #28 passes all the main sights of the historical center. Its length is 7.02 km. The trip will take about 40-50 minutes. This is a great opportunity to get to know the city. The route starts from Piazza Martim Moniz to Campo de Ourique. You will pass such interesting areas and sights as Alfama Quarter, Santa Engrácia Church, St. George Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, Baixa district, Commerce Square, Santa Justa Lift, Chiado quarter, Basílica da Estrela.

---

Advice before travel:

1. Since there are usually a lot of people on this route, we recommend starting the trip before 10 a.m. It will help to keep your time.
2. It is very important to keep an eye on your personal things, as pickpockets often operate here due to a large crowd of people.
3. If you are standing on the tram, hold on to the handrail well, as the route is very winding and the tram can brake sharply.
4. This is an ordinary city tram, so there will be no excursion information, we recommend you to learn it in advance.
5. If you bought the transport card in advance, the ride is free for you. Otherwise, one trip will cost you 1.50 €.

Santa Justa Elevator attracts crowds of tourists by its perfect combination of Eclecticism and technological progress of the 19th century. It usually takes at least half an hour to wait for your turn to go up using the ancient lift. But why did it appear here, clamped on a narrow street among the dense buildings?

---

Lisbon is called the city of seven hills. The problem of the movement of citizens between the upper and lower areas of the city has always been.

---

  They were connected by steep staircases and it was a difficult task to overcome them regularly.

---

Raoul Mesnier is a student and follower of Gustav Eiffel. This civil engineer designed almost all elevators and lifts in Braga, Porto, Nazare and Lisbon.

---

It was he who developed the Santa Justa Elevator, which connects the two quarters of the lower - Baixa and the upper - Chiado. Initially, the elevator was powered by a steam engine. The building is made of cast iron, steel and cement in Neo-Gothic style.

---

He presented the design to the city council in 1896 and it was approved. Construction began in 1898. And in 1901 the Santa Justa Elevator was launched. In 1907, engineers replaced the steam mechanism with an electric one.

---

The elevator rises to a height of 32 meters. Here is his lower observation deck. Its upper platform is located at a height of 45 meters and can be reached by a spiral staircase. The base of the structure rests on 4 massive columns. Then there are 6 tiers of openwork arcades, which are not similar to each other. Visitors are lifted and lowered by two elevator cabins. Each of them is made in Art Nouveau style: wooden panels, mirrors and windows.

---

The upper observation deck offers a beautiful panorama of the city. You can enjoy the view of  the historical center of Lisbon, the embankment of the Tagus River and the Castle of St. George.

---

Tips:

• How to get there: The nearest stations are Baixa-Chiado and Rossio.
• Working hours: 7:30 AM - 11:00 PM in summer, 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM in winter.
• Between 9 AM and 9 PM it departs every 10 min.
• The round-trip ticket costs 5.30 €, including the upper deck. But there is a travel hack. If you bought a 24-hour Lisbon transport card (6.40€) in advance, this trip is free for you (despite the observation deck, which is covered with netting and isn't worth its price). Moreover, you can use the card for all three funiculars in the city: Gloria, Bica and Lavra!
