Established in 1905, the National Coach Museum in Lisbon showcases a rich collection that epitomises the opulence of Portuguese royal dynasties. Featuring exhibits dating back to the 17th century, including coaches once owned by King Philip II, as well as open carriages, chaises, cabriolets, and sedan chairs from the 19th century, the museum offers a fascinating journey through centuries of carriage technology and artistic styles.

In addition to the impressive vehicles, the collection includes accessories like dress uniforms, harnesses, and cavalry uniforms, providing insight into the era's grandeur. Formerly housed in the Royal Riding School wing of Belém Palace, the museum relocated to a purpose-built facility designed by acclaimed architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha in the early 2000s. Today, it stands as one of Lisbon's top attractions, offering visitors a captivating glimpse into Portugal's royal heritage and a memorable experience during their time in Belém.
