The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology
My advice is to visit during weekdays if you can. The crowd is way lighter, making it easier to explore and appreciate the art.
If you're looking to save some cash, try to get your tickets online rather than at the door. It helps skip the lines and sometimes offers discounts.
Maritime Museum
Don’t rush through the exhibits. I thought 1-2 hours was enough, but I ended up staying longer because there’s so much fascinating stuff!
Make sure to wear comfy shoes! There’s a lot of walking, and I regretted wearing my fancy sneakers that pinched my feet.
Museum of Kalust Gulbenkyan
My advice is to buy the combo ticket online. It saved me some cash compared to buying individual tickets, and I skipped the line!
I suggest checking out the temporary exhibitions first since they rotate often. I ended up loving one I wouldn’t have seen if I didn't go there first!
Azulejo Museum
The National Coach Museum
I suggest visiting on a weekday, especially in the morning around 10 AM when it’s less crowded. I went on a Sunday and it felt rushed with all the groups. You'll appreciate the details way more when it's quiet.
My advice is to take advantage of the audio guide. It gives you a deeper understanding of the coaches and the royal history. I skipped it at first, but I regretted that later because it really added to the experience
National Carriage Museum
Parking can be a pain nearby, so I'd recommend taking public transport. The tram ride there is actually pretty fun and picturesque!
Pavilion of Knowledge
My advice is to check if there are any special events happening. I stumbled upon a cool demo that made my visit so much more fun!
National Museum of Ancient Art
My advice is to grab a coffee at the café before you start. The views from there are amazing and it gives you a nice break after roaming through the galleries!
FC Porto Museum
If you can, visit on a weekday around 3 PM. It was way less crowded then, and I could really take my time enjoying everything without rushing.
I suggest taking your time at the interactive exhibits. I rushed through them, but they were actually pretty fun and informative – I wished I had spent more time there.
