Overview

A tour that takes you to discover unique royal palaces!
Depart Lisbon towards the National Palace of Queluz, once a summer resort for the Kings of Portugal.
Visit the interior and marvel at the late-baroque and neoclassical style of this building - after all, it is no coincidence that it is nicknamed the “Portuguese Versailles”.
Stroll through the beautiful gardens before returning to your vehicle to head towards Belém, where you will have the chance to stop to observe the Belém Tower, after which you will have free time to explore the area a little and observe the Jerónimos Monastery.
Have lunch at one of the restaurants in the area before travelling back in time to the 19th century and visiting the Ajuda National Palace, the last official residence of the Portuguese monarchy.
Appreciate the enormous dimensions of the palace and learn about the day-to-day life of the court at the end of the 19th century, in a palace that maintains its remarkable interiors intact.

Its construction began at the beginning of the 16th century and lasted for a hundred years, being classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with the Belém Tower.

The Ajuda National Palace, the last official residence of the Portuguese monarchy, began to be built in 1796 and was the permanent residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of D. Luís I (1861-1889) until 1910, the year of the establishment of the Republic. This museum is today the only visitable royal palace in Lisbon, which still preserves its rooms with the authenticity of the 19th century, constituting one of the most important decorative arts museums in the country. In the same building you can visit the Royal Treasury Museum, which houses the royal treasury with the Portuguese crown jewels and the fine jewellery used in civil and religious ceremonies, as well as the most imposing tableware from an 18th century European royal table.
