Traveler reviews
Ten
★★★★★a month agoThe staff was nice they gave us a book so we can read information on each car in english and explained a bit about their history, in the price the library upstairs was also included. The price is really good and it s worth it.
Aidan Murphy
★★★★★a year agoThis is a unique museum with beautiful old cars used by the presidents of Portugal , the attention to detail in restoring these cars has to be appreciated, they are simply stunning . The entry fee is €3 per adult and I felt extremely good value , some of these cars I’d definitely never see on the streets and was great to see them today . There is a second part to the museum on the floor above also worth a visit . The staff are very pleasant and extremely helpful . I would recommend a visit when you’re in Porto .
