This amazing museum is great for all ages! It explains Lisbon before and after the 1755's earthquake, starting from its foundings. Each room leads you through time. Only 10 a minutes' walk from my Alfama apartments (Alfama Tejo penthouse studio and Alfama Tejo charming apartment). Can't miss this museum and, by the way, get a combination ticket to visit the Commerce Square's triumphal arch called "Arco da Rua Augusta"!
