Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência
Scientific collections and the heritage of the former Escola Politécnica at a University of Lisbon museum in Príncipe Real.
The museum preserves scientific collections linked to the history of the University of Lisbon and Escola Politécnica. Its heritage includes the Laboratorio Chimico. The Príncipe Real site is at Rua da Escola Politécnica, 58.
It is in the Príncipe Real neighbourhood. If you have time, Jardim do Príncipe Real is 3 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Igreja de São Roque, the closest indoor option. It pairs well with the Palácio e Tapada de Mafra trip. The nearest metro station is Rato, about 400 m away; see how to use the metro.
