    Interesting museum with a number of engaging displays. I was enticed by the continued relevance of the media in modern times. The entire museum was bilingual, but as a foreigner in Portugal, I found a number of displays focused on the Portuguese media somewhat confusing. Hard to say if this museum visit was more worthwhile than visiting another one of Sintra's palaces. If your spending more than a day in Sintra, this would be a nice way to add variety to your visit.

    A good interactive, audio -visual museum but it is more of a tourist trap than a serious attempt to examine news reporting.

    (Translated by Google) The museum presents the history of the press in Portugal and in some respects in the world. It is a somewhat interactive museum that values ​​press freedom and the relevance of journalism. Save about two hours for the guided tour conducted by very well prepared professionals. If you want, you can print the cover of a newspaper with the news that was published on the day of your birth. The service costs 6.50 euros. (Original) O museu apresenta a história da imprensa em Portugal e em, em alguns aspectos, no mundo. É um museu um tanto interativo, que valoriza a liberdade de imprensa e a relevância do jornalismo.

    The news museum is basically a tourist information centre in Sintra Portugal it's located just past the Sintra Boutique hotel, this is where you can purchase any tickets you may wish to purchase for the many attractions in Sintra. You can also purchase tickets for visiting the many castle's and palaces.

    I am a press reporter and photographer. I am always looking for places where there are traces of the journalism profession. I think this place is wonderful. I haven't visited there yet, but I hope this big thing happens soon. In a word, unique.

  • 4/5 Liam H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely museum, some really clever inter-active features such as 'generate your own news reel'. A lot of good stuff packed into a relatively small building. You'll easily pass a couple of entertaining and informative hours here.

    Nice cozy museum, with a lot of interactive activities, had fun in it and learned interesting stuff related to the news.

  • 5/5 Karen L. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited this museum a few years ago while on a trip to Spain and Portugal. While on the bus coming downhill from the castle in Sintra, I noticed the sign for the museum and decided to visit. What a great decision!!! This place was awesome; wonderfully interactive, beautifully curated, moving, educational, fun and staff were lovely. I made a video of myself reporting on Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. Turns out, to my surprise, this was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my trip! Thank you those who so lovingly put together this very valuable space!

  • 5/5 Victoria A. 7 months ago on Google
    Fun and impressive interactive museum experience about international and Portuguese news and journalism history. Among other things, you can read a "live" newscast, and have VR experience. Worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Sabina S. 4 months ago on Google
    Interesting, interactive museum. Might be a bit overwhelming - but I assume just as the news nowadays are.

  • 5/5 Saozita 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I loved the visit ... We have the right to do a last minute report and even a radio news ... We can have a very funny experience with virtual reality glasses for those who have never had the experience ... A lot of technology has been mixing since generation in black and white until today ... (Original) Adorei a visita... Temos direito a fazer uma reportagem da última hora e inclusive uma notícia de rádio... Podemos ter uma experiência com óculos da realidade virtual muito engraçada para quem nunca teve a experiência... Muita tecnologia a mistura desde a geração à preto e branco até actualidade...

    A very interactive experience that is definitely worth visiting.

  • 4/5 Tamim K. 4 years ago on Google
    So I just randomly saw this museum as my day in Sintra was coming to an end I saw it from the bus. I hopped off and popped inside and I was really taken by surprise at how well put together and comprehensive this place was. I've got an interest in politics and history so I really enjoyed it, but I'm not sure it will fit the tastes of most people who come to visit Sintra. FYI, journalists get in free.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 4 years ago on Google
    The museum is great but it is hard to get to Sintra buy car. If you wish to visit the area we suggest to take a train from Lisbon or to take a taxi, which would leave you just outside the downtown area. The entire city center it's very walkable and the museum it is just minutes from the main attractions. The restaurants and cafes in the area are incredible and we suggest to make a day trip to the area.
