Lisbon is home to many museums that celebrate Portugal’s history, art scene, and culture, but some of them happen to be strangely specific—including these three.
National Coach Museum
Lisbon’s National Coach Museum houses one of the most impressive collections of historical carriages in the entire world, dating from the 16th to 19th century. To make the whole thing even better, the museum is housed in the Royal Riding Hall of Belém, which was once a part of a royal palace.
Carris Museum
Trams are still a popular means of transportation in Lisbon, and a visit to this city is incomplete if you don’t take a ride on one. If you want to take a deeper dive into the history of public transport in the Portuguese capital, head to this museum that has an extensive collection of historic trams on display.
National Museum of Costume
If trams and carriages simply aren’t your thing, and you’re more into fashion than transportation, we’ve got a museum just for you. Housed in Monteiro-Mor Palace, this museum showcases a collection of historical costumes, garments, and accessories, dating all the way back to the 18th century.
