Traveler reviews
HY
★★★★★a month agoA very unique and impressive museum in Lisbon! • The Exhibition: It houses a massive collection of grand, incredibly ornate, and beautiful royal carriages. • Tip for Visitors: Don't forget to go up to the upper floor! While there isn't as much to see as the main hall, you can find other artworks and detailed miniature carriages there. • Value: It is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are using the Lisboa Card.
