Museum Notes

Jerónimos: Accessible entrances; cloister access may vary — ask staff.
MAAT: Elevators available; rooftop access has gentle grades.
Oceanário: Wide corridors; staff helpful during peak hours.

Boat and Tram

Yellow Boat: Outdoor decks with seating; check ramp access at boarding.
Heritage trams: Not always accessible — confirm before planning.

Use the bus to bridge hills, then hop off near viewpoints to minimize steep climbs.
