Built in the early 19th century, this staggering neoclassical palace served as the royal residence from the 1860s until the end of the monarchy in 1910. You can tour through private apartments and state rooms, getting an eyeful of the crystal chandeliers, Flemish tapestries, fresco-covered ceilings, gilded furnishings and exquisite artworks dating back five centuries.
It's a long uphill walk from Belém, or you can take tram 18 or several buses from downtown, including 760 from Praça do Comércio.
