National Coach Museum (Museu Dos Coches): Entry Ticket Discount Tickets

Visit an exceptional and unique collection of richly adorned royal vehicles

Overview

The National Coach Museum has a long history, its earliest ties go back to the Royal Riding School and King João V in the early 18th century. Since the plans for a riding arena in Belém in 1726, there's been a great deal of change. Now, some 300 years later, you'll find the new National Coach Museum located beside Picadeiro Real (the Royal Riding Hall of Belém) – a part of the larger Belém Palace complex. The new museum is located near to the original museum that was inaugurated in 1905, and it's home to one of the world's finest collections of historical carriages. You'll see a range of Berlin carriages and coaches that date as far back as the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

About This Place

The National Coach Museum has its origins in 1905. Its location was in the antique hall of Belém's Royal Riding School. Since then it's gone through a number of changes, including the opening of a brand new museum building in 2015. The new Coach Museum not only houses a larger collection of carriages, but it deems itself an urban infrastructure providing a public utility space for Lisbon.

Amazing exhibition. Prepare to spend at least 1 hour cause the history behind some of them is worth knowing.
