Museums and palaces
From royal carriages and Portuguese tiles to contemporary art: with the Lisboa Card you get free access to Lisbon's most important museums and palaces.
Museu Nacional dos Coches
One of the world's most important carriage museums. The modern new building displays over 70 magnificent carriages from three centuries, including the golden state coaches of the Portuguese royal family.

Palacio Nacional da Ajuda
The 19th-century neoclassical royal palace was the last residence of the Portuguese monarchy. Lavish state rooms with crystal chandeliers, Meissen porcelain and paintings from five centuries. Less well known and therefore often without a wait.
Museu do Tesouro Real
The Royal Treasure Museum, opened in 2023, shows jewels, orders and precious objects of the Portuguese kings over seven centuries. Housed in the lower floor of the Palacio da Ajuda, it is modern in presentation with hardly any waiting.

Museu Nacional do Azulejo
The tile museum in the Madre de Deus convent is one of Portugal's most original museums. Highlight: a tile panorama almost 23 metres long showing Lisbon before the 1755 earthquake. The collection runs from the 15th century to the present day.
Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga
Portugal's most important art museum holds around 40,000 works from the 12th to the 19th century. The absolute highlight is the Saint Vincent Panels by Nuno Goncalves, one of the most important paintings in Portuguese art.
Museu do Chiado
Museum of modern and contemporary Portuguese art, in the heart of the trendy Chiado district. The collection traces the development of the art scene from Romanticism to modernism. Ideal for a short stop after a shopping stroll.
Museu do Fado
The fado museum in Alfama tells the story of the emotional Portuguese music genre, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2011. Interactive listening stations, historic instruments and photographs. Ideal as an introduction before an evening at a fado tavern.
