★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,922 reviews · 1 hour · from $21

Plan about one hour. English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish help is available, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

“The exhibits and especially the multimedia screens were very informative. The boat ride was a good time to catch a breath and take a seat ;). It was a good attraction especially for the younger part of the trip. When you think how to enrich the experience you could add a small niche with a bit more detail of world discovery tours of Vasco da Gama, Magellan etc. where the more interested people could learn a bit more about their travels on eg a wide screen. All in all - a nice attraction summarizing the Portuguese conquest of the far lands.”
