Ordering the tickets online and picking them up (Centro Interpretativo da História do Bacalhau, Praça do Comércio) was quick and easy. We had no problems with the Lisboa Card at any attractions or on local transport/trains to Cascais.

Super happy to have found this activity on your site. It was really very enriching and, above all, a magnificent palace—I'd even say more beautiful than the Palace of Versailles, since I've seen both.

The Lisboa card was so easy and convenient to use. Free trains, trams, buses and metro plus free or discounted entry to landmarks. Would definitely recommend.

Contacting me proactively gave me confidence in their service. I appreciated that they were available and answered my question (were very few, but still).

The entire excursion was amazing. The palaces are beautiful, and I fulfilled my dream of visiting Regaleira, which fully met my expectations. We ended the day with Boca do Inferno at sunset, an incredible place! Cascais and its beautiful beach. The guides, Miguel and Derian, were excellent. All the information was very interesting, but most notable was their kindness and warmth. They made this experience unforgettable. The driver, Paulo, was highly skilled at navigating those narrow roads with expertise.

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
