Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Coaches played a large part in Portugal’s royal history, as it did with many other European royal families. The National Coach Museum , or Museu Nacional dos Coches, is one of the most visited sights in Lisbon and has the largest and most valuable collection of coaches in the world. The museum opened in 1905 as part of Belem Palace and then moved to the current facility over 100 years later.

The new building, which was Pritzker Prize winning architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha designed, now accommodates not only the coaches but additional carriages and accessories that weren't on display earlier. Visitors will enjoy the beauty of the items on display, especially the coaches belonging to royal families or ones designed for and used by Queen Elizabeth II.
