This is by far THE BEST museum I have visited in Portugal. Even if you are not into history, you cannot but enjoy this museum and learn from it. It is a modern interactive museum, with technologies to keep you entertained, as well as Roman replicas that your can touch and feel. Well worth a visit. Not to be missed.

On our trip, we visited Roman ruins in four countries and this site is both unique and has an interesting history. The site is only 17% excavated according to the knowledgeable gentleman at the ticket desk. We were very impressed by the museum. In comparison with other museums we visited at Roman ruins, this museum stands out for its excellent exhibits and artifacts of daily life... tools, surgical instruments, glass, jewelry, etc. We highly recommend visiting this museum. There is also a very good restaurant at the site.

It's hard to believe that these ruins have been around for 2 centuries, been buried under soil, and yet still are so beautifully preserved. A visit to Conimbriga is worth it for sure. Catch the bus from the Joalta stop on the river near the bridge. Leave on the 09h30 bus and return on the 13h30 one. The bus route goes through the villages along the way.
7. Cascata de Rio de Mouros
