National Car Museum

The "Museu Nacional dos Coches" in Lisbon houses an important collection of carriages dating from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

The museum is attributed to Queen Amelia of Orleans and Bragança and was inaugurated on May 23, 1905. It is currently one of the most visited museums in Lisbon.

Most important carriages

Among the most important carriages are those belonging to Philip III of Spain (the oldest of the collection) and the three Italian baroque floats built in Rome in 1716, all belonging to Pope Clement XI. Of these three floats stands out the one that delivered to the King Juan V.

In addition to the carriages in the museum you will find some portraits and other objects of the time.

Highly recommended

The carriage museum is a small museum with its own style worth visiting. It is one of the most surprising places of Lisbon, located a few meters from the Jeronimos Monastery.
