Museu Nacional dos Coches
Ceremonial and leisure carriages trace the history of horse-drawn transport in a contemporary building in Belém.
The collection brings together carriages from the 16th to 19th centuries, many from the Portuguese Royal Household. Opened in 2015, the building was designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha with Ricardo Bak Gordon. It stands at Avenida da Índia, 136, in Belém.
It is in the Belém neighbourhood. If you have time, MAAT is 7 minutes on foot. It pairs well with the Cascais and Estoril along the coast trip.
