The National Coach Museum (Museu Nacional dos Coches in Portuguese) is the most unforgettable and evocative of all museums in Lisbon. It is also the only royal carriage museum in the world. The highlight of the museum is the high-end luxury carriages used by the Portuguese royal court from the 10th to the 17th century, which fully reflects Portugal's exquisite art and creativity. Regardless of its glory or misdeeds, its unique methods are also worthy of reference by other countries.
