This was a highlight of our Lisbon visit! You won't find a coach museum in any other city. It isn't overwhelming. Easy to see and fun for kids. It's in a big open room with plenty of space to run. Don't need more than an hour to see.

A wide variety of carriages from multiple eras. We were able to admire the work of the wood craftsmen in the sculptural detailing of the carriages. A very lovely visit.

An interesting museum with a large collection of vintage carriages dating back to the early 20th century. The spacious exhibition halls help prevent overcrowding. We recommend purchasing tickets online.

The Headout App hasn't provided the right tickets. There is an obvious failure. The museum reacted smart and let us in acknowledging the app-failure.

Experience a tailor-made visit highlighting the 17th, 18th, and 19th-century fantastic collections of coaches at the Nation Coach Museum.

View coaches from key moments in European history, like the assassination of Charles I, marking the end of the Portuguese monarchy.

Marvel at the traveling carriage of Philip II and the grandiose coaches that formed an integral part of Portugal's embassy to the Pope.

Explore remarkable 18th-century cavalry gear, stylish coach uniforms, armory pieces, and procession accessories in this notable collection.

Fun fact: Dozens of Portuguese Crown coaches were discreetly stored in royal palace stables. Queen Amélie innovatively gathered them in one place for public display.
