Ajuda, Lisbon

"The only royal residence in Lisbon. It feels truly authentic, as though people still live here."
Once the home of King Luis I and other royalty, the Neoclassical Palácio Nacional da Ajuda is now a living museum where visitors can travel back in time and get a feel of how the elite lived centuries ago.
