Museum
Lisbon has a long and proud maritime history. This museum focuses on that long naval history with model ships, nautical instruments and uniforms. Among the armadas of model boats, this museum has gems such as Vasco da Gama's portable wooden altar and the rich, polished private quarters of the 1900 UK-built royal yacht Amélia. There are also ornate royal barges, the biggest a 1780 neo-Viking number.
On weekends a children's museum offers brightly colored creative activities.

Doing what: Lisbon Super Saver: Lisbon Hop-On Hop-Off Tour with Four Routes including Tram
The hop-on-hop-off tour is the best way to see the main highlights of Lisbon! I would highly recomend this to anyone who doesnt have too many days to spend in the city but would like to see as much as possible.The tram ride was amazing!!! We got to see the real Lisbon and we had such a great time!!Portugal definitely is a great country and Lisbon is an amazing city. It was great to see the old and the new parts of the city! This is the best way to see as much as possible in Lisbon in a short space of time!

It is OK once it is figured out. There are 4 different hop on companies in Lisbon...this is for the Yellow Bus...who also owns the local buses and trolleys. The other 3 are picked up at Marque Pombol; Yellow Bus is at Rossio. Once you get a hang of the system...it is great...goes everywhere all the time. Your 48 hour pass also allows you free access to all city buses, trams and trolleys.

This is the best way to see Lisbon!!! I love Hop on Hop off tours and this one is great! It gives you an over view of the city and then you can decide where to spend your time. I recommend riding it all around the city first, making notes where you want to get off. Then after completing a full ride around the city get back on the bus and have it take you to the stops you want to get off and spend time in. Great use of time and great way to get around the city. Make sure you go to a Fado show in Lisbon!!! Obrigado (thank you) for reading :)
