Traveler reviews
Kimberly Simmons
★★★★★3 years agoA Museum for Cristian Ronaldo and Football fans here in Madeira. My kid went in free, which I think is great. It is good how the museum presents that Ronaldo worked hard on his skill with the ball and earned his way up to World-Class Football. This is the great exhibition of everything he ever earned. Great spot to get a fan a gift.
