Noreen Crowley
★★★★★9 months agoThis was a highlight of my time in Lisbon! It far exceeded my expectations, though given what I had seen in the streets and on the buildings before hand, I should not have been surprised. Easily reached by bus, I would highly recommend recommend putting this on your list of places to visit, I spent almost 2 hours there and marveled the history and craftsmanship!
Betty Rice
★★★★★7 months agoMissed this great museum the first time I was in Lisbon, so promised myself a visit if I ever returned, and this summer I did. Tiles and mosaics are so important to the culture of Portugal, so to learn some of the history and wander the beautiful gardens with a small cafe here is a real treat. 10/10 worth a visit.
