National Museum of Costume inside Angeja-Palmela palace

Traditional clothes are hard to see here in Lisbon.
I paid a visit to Angeja-Palmela Palace to appreciate all the beautiful clothes.

Museu Nacional do Traje, created in 1976, won many awards 
but when I got there, the outside was very wornout. 
It saddened me to see this beautiful building look so shabby. 

Inside, the palace itself is worth the visit. 
The museum is not big so I went around twice. 
First to see all the beautiful clothes on display 
and then to enjoy the palace itself.
 


They offer a guided tour 
so if you're interested, contact them in advance. 
We visited on Sunday. 
Even though they don't have a guided tour on Sundays, 
they are willing to help us a lot. 
Very kind and helpful Portuguese people as usual. 




The palace walls are beautifully adorned. 
At first everything looks similar 
but upon a closer look, you realize each one is characteristic. 



Planning to visit this place, 
then you should buy a museum pass. 
The entrance fee for only this place costs 4 euros. 
altogether cost 6 euros in total. 
It's a steal. 
Monteiro-Mor Botanic Park is huge.

National Theatre and Dance Museum is a fun play to visit especially with children. 

Here you can spend a wonderful day away from hustle and bustle of all the travelers. 
Not many people visit these gems. 
It's a shame 
but you can take advantage of this and have a blast.

Tram 28 vs Tram 12

이미지
Traveling here in Lisbon, everybody seems to take Tram 28. Starting point of  Tram 28  is always crowded and a long line is expected. Well, in my case, I prefer Tram 12. Starting point of Tram 12  is not that crowded. It covers only 4 kilometers but goes to all the major places. Let's compare their routes. Tram 28 Tram 12  As you can see from both pictures, Tram 12 covers Praça da Figueira, Martim Moniz, the Miradouro das Portas do Sol, the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, cathedrals and more. Besides it only takes 20 minutes to go through all the stops. I linked info on Tram 28 and Tram 12 so you can decide whatever you like. I usually remind my guests staying at the airbnb to take Tram 12 to wrap up their visits at the end of their journey. After staying in Lisbon for days, it's a good way to refresh all the fun memories you have shared with your friends and family. Only 20-minute-ride but it can leave imprints on you...

Must-sees on Tram 12 route

Taking Tram 12 from the starting poin t to the last stop only takes 20 minutes. It starts from Figueira Square, which has a statue of John I who fathered the navigator Henry. You can check out all the stops and what to see. (1) Martim Moniz  The first stop. You can see people lining up to take Tram 28. Martim Moniz Square is known to be very multi-cultural, especially at night. (2) Socorro (3) Largo Terreirnho => Just nothing that special happen. (4) Rua Lagares If you are into Alfama, the tram now passes through it. (5) São Tomé Love Fado? Then you know the legendary Queen of Fado Amalia Rodirigues . This stop has her portrait  by Vhills . It's a must-see. (6) Largo Portas Sol So famous that I am sure you know what to do here. Get off the tram to see the best viewpoint in Lisbon. You can access  ​São Jorge Castle (the castle of St. George) here but it's quite an uphill walk. (7)  Miradouro Santa Luzia   The view is much bet...

Timeout market, Ribeira market

On the way to Cascais, you usually take a train from Cais do Sodre. Right across the road, there is a beautiful building. Inside you see Time out. It is a part of Mercado da Ribeira, one of the best markets in Lisbon. Ribeira market has a long history starting around 1100. At that time, the location was the-now-city hall square near comercio square. In the 1600s, it became widely known all over Europe and its location was in front of Casa dos Bicos . During 1755 earthquake, it was destroyed and in 1771 its location finally found its way here.
