★★★★★a month agoA perfect stop to combine with the Ajuda National Palace! • The Collection: It is not overly large, but it is filled with absolutely beautiful and dazzling royal jewels and treasures. • Duration: The museum is quite compact, so you can easily see everything in about 30 minutes. • Value: It is a great place to visit using the Lisboa Card. Highly recommended for a quick, glittering visit alongside the palace!

★★★★★7 months agoWe didn’t know what to expect and went there simply because it was included with the Lisboa Card. It turned out to be an interesting experience, and it was fascinating to see some of the royal treasures. You shouldn’t go in with high expectations, but it’s definitely worth a visit. Also, from the bus-stop side of the building, there’s a great view.
