  • A must visit museum if you are in Coimbra. They have some of the best and well displaced pieces in the exhibit. Sadly, when we went, two of the exhibits were closed due to water logging issues. But what we appreciated was that they mentioned this right at the beginning and give us reduced price tickets. The staff was super nice and polite. They also have a good cafeteria in the museum. The vie if the city from the museum is pretty awesome too.
  • This place is a gem, everyone inside assiting the visitors takes care of you since the very beggining advising the best way to start your trips around the museum in order to have the best experience, if you love art, history or both this place is a must, beware that its deceptively big, make sure you have a good couple of hours in order to see everything, it is quite a big museum. Definitely an essential place to visit in Coimbra.
