"The first and only Portuguese-themed museum in Porto, showcasing the history of the Golden Age of the Portuguese Discoveries. I especially love the rooms dedicated to the former colonies, beautifully decorated with themes inspired by Asia, and Africa."

This interactive and family-friendly museum is the only themed museum in Portugal that dives into the history of the golden age of Portuguese explorers. It's in the Miragaia neighborhood and takes about 45 minutes to walk through. Each display shows locations where Portuguese explorers landed, like Japan, China, India, and Brazil. At the end, a boat tour simulates life at sea. Tickets for adults are €17, but there are discounts for children.
