Lisbon Museums

(Lisbon, Portugal)

With a rich history, which is both remembered and celebrated, the many museums of Lisbon provide tourists with the perfect way to spend some time. Particularly popular is Lisbon's mini-train, which runs through the historic Belém area, where many of the most interesting museums and historic buildings are located.

For informative exhibits celebrating Lisbon's past, the City Museum (Museu da Cidade) in the Campo Grande is well worth a look and clearly documents the evolution of the city, being housed within a rather grand palace. Children are well catered for in Lisbon and popular museums include the Museu da Marioneta and its 500+ puppets, the waxwork figures at the Museu de Cera, and the many toys at both the Toy Museum (Museu do Brinquedo) and also at the Children's Museum (Museu das Criança) itself.
