Known forLisbon historypalacelocal favoriteCampo Grande
The main branch of the Museu de Lisboa occupies an elegant 18th-century royal hunting palace surrounded by a peaceful garden, tracing the city's history from prehistoric times through the 1755 earthquake and beyond. The scale model of pre-earthquake Lisbon is a genuine highlight and deeply moving for anyone curious about the city's lost past. Almost entirely visited by locals and serious history enthusiasts rather than tour groups. Caveat: it's a tram or metro ride from the center and easy to overlook in favor of more famous sites.
