This was a fascinating museum, which I highly recommend for anyone wishing to learn more about recent Portugese history. Inexpensive.

Certainly one of the most unusual visitor attractions in Lisbon. It’s a museum and a workshop for the repair of dolls of every kind. Nice history and a lot of toys from old times to see. A lovely guided tour (in English or Portuguese) that costs 2€ per person. Truly a unique place in Lisbon. Bring your camera!

Wasn't sure what to expect but had a great experience here. Fabulous and incredibly interesting displays and "hands on " activities. My husband and I spent a lot more time here than we expected to - such an original place. The building inside and out is very beautiful - in fact the whole square it is situated in and the area round about has some incredible architecture. Well worth a wander round. Would definitely recommend - a great place to visit and for free ( donation welcome).

Because of its 75th anniversary, Comur has delved back into 500 years of history to create an epic collection exalting the feats of the Portuguese at seas worldwide. Secular knowledge and flavours, embraced in a historic tide taking the form of a reencounter of the Sea with its heroes. An epopee now recounted by Comur, a Portuguese preserved food factory.

Lisboa card also got us here, but we didn't regret the experience. Cronologically ordered the exhibition presents the most important moments of the city from its first founder up to the present. Very well documented and with an interactive presentation, it makes it hard to forget the city experiences through the history. I will not forget for sure this date: 1st of November 1755. Courious about what happend then? Well, don't google it, go to see the exhibition!

My wife and I ate here twice, and both meals were great. We shared the chuleton one night, and it was cooked the way we wanted, and it tasted great. The other visit I had salmon and my wife had steak in a mushroom sauce. Again, both were very good. The mushroom sauce was a little thin. If you are in the mood for a more upscale meal for a little more money, I would recommend this restaurant. We did not visit the beer museum, but we heard it was not worth the admission.
