Best places: Museums in Belas, Portugal

👍👍 Visited on a Sunday to fulfill a wish of our son in love with Benfica. Easy to reach with the blue metro by getting off either at the Colegio Militar/Luz stop or at the previous Alto do Mhounos... in the first case you have to go around the block to reach the entrance. With 17 euros you have the opp...

Founded in 1968 by the Portuguese Air Force, aviation museum housing restored planes & equipment.

Grand, 18th-century summer retreat & royal palace with ornate state rooms & gardens.

Neoclassical palace, the 19th-century residence of the royal family, now museum of decorative arts.

Seagoing history with collections of model ships, maritime artifacts & ornate 18th-century barges.

Small museum dedicated to the Portuguese artist, caricaturist & ceramicist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro.

1600s gunpowder factory & warehouses, now a museum set in parkland with open-air concerts & dining.

Museum on history of Lisbon, with chronological exhibits from prehistory to the early 20th century.

👍👍 The new modern building/wing is very interesting and full of beautiful elements. The collection and the explanations are quite good and worth the visit and the time. The price is higher than usual for Portuguese standards (EUR 13 for both museums).

😠 I visited here during the exposition Musex, a traveling(?) museum exhibit about female sexual pleasure and health. This is a very important topic as many women and almost all men have no idea what goes on with the female body. So, we went. I was infuriated at their handling of this topic. There was...

😐 Good place if you know the local artists or if you are really interested in stages. Many 3D miniatures of stage scenes and theatres. Outside the museum, six big pieces of recreation s based on the characters from Hieronymus Bosch's works.

👍👍 Recomendo vivamente a visita a esta casa museu, ela está num excelente estado de conservação e gostámos muito de tudo e em especial do atendimento do recepcionista muito simpático e atencioso, 5 estrelas. Parabéns e um grande bem haja.

👍👍 Visito este espaço com frequência porque tem exposições de qualidade. Como habitante desta região gosto de observar as modificações da cidade. Num um espaço tão pequeno e com exposições de grande qualidade. Parabéns e continuem a partilhar novas exposições sempre com o mesmo empenho. Ontem, 9 de J...

👍 A small house museum. The caricatures and some of the stories associated with them are delightful. Without a doubt, a very happy continuation of the Bordallo Pinheiro path It's worth a break to visit, which is cheap and takes just over an hour.

State-of-the-art night sky projector with expert lectures teaching visitors about the solar system.

👍👍 Exposição dedicada à ruralidade de Cascais com destaque para a vida saloia. Encontram-se representados outros ofícios que caracterizam a identidade cascalense.

👍👍 What a disappointment! Not a piano in the entire house.
