A Train Enthusiast's Delight: Exploring the National Railway Museum in Entroncamento I recently had the pleasure of visiting the National Railway Museum in Entroncamento, and it was an absolute treat for train enthusiasts and history buffs alike. If you have a passion for trains and are eager to delve into the rich history of Portuguese railways, this museum is an absolute must visit. One of the highlights of the museum is the opportunity to step inside old carriages and gain a fascinating insight into how trains appeared in the past. The museum is thoughtfully organized, providing a comprehensive narrative of Portugal's railway heritage. During my visit, I had the pleasure of bringing along my 7-year-old nephew, and he had an absolute blast. The museum offers an engaging experience for young visitors as well. My nephew was thrilled to explore the various exhibits, interact with the displays, and get a sense of what it was like to be aboard these historic trains. However, the highlight for him was undoubtedly the train ride at the end of our visit. It was a delightful way to conclude the museum experience and left a lasting impression on both of us. The National Railway Museum in Entroncamento offers a well-rounded and captivating journey into the world of Portuguese trains. The exhibits are carefully curated, providing a wealth of information and an authentic glimpse into the country's railway history. Whether you're a seasoned train enthusiast or simply curious about the topic, this museum offers something for everyone.

For those people who like trains and everything that has to do with this topic, it will be an interesting place to visit. Kids that came in groups truly had fun. There are different trains and you can go inside some of them, walk around, sit there, etc. there is a Royal train, too. And also one train that can be used as a cafe, you are allowed to bring your own food and eat there, which is quite unusual, but surely will be fun for adults and kids alike. Please, note that there are some exhibits inside and some outside, but mostly under the roof which is handy during the rain.

Large walkable museum that allows you to go from one building to another. Dozens of large locomotives, engines, and cabins to explore. Detailed multimedia and signage in English, Portuguese and other languages. This museum tells a beautiful story about the history of trains in Portugal. I was very impressed by the size and high quality of the displays. Caution: be very careful crossing the railroad tracks as it's a live track. Real trains run through the middle of the museum. Hold your kids close and don't let them wander by themselves!

Railway museum with a very decent collection, located right next to the train station(you have to cross the second, more distant bridge all the way to the left). Unfortunately the more general text boards in the permanent collection are without English translations (the explanations of the specific items are translated, though). Some additional viewing stands would be nice as well in order to look into more waggons and the locomotives...

É um museu fantástico de nível mundial. Vá com bastante tempo e leve a familia toda para uma visita demorada e detalhada. . Estacionar não é difícil, mas não existe parque dedicado. Todos os funcionários são muito simpáticos - alguns são voluntários e antigos ferroviários. O bilhete permite sair e voltar a entrar no mesmo dia; podem também levar comida e comer nos vagões restaurantes especialmente preparados (tem micro-ondas) Além de todas as locomotivas a vapor, automotoras e elétricos e não só, existem várias áreas dedicadas ao restante espólio da CP, desde as escolas de formação, sistema ferroviários e de sinalização, às ferramentas e instrumentos de trabalhos das várias profissões ligadas à ferrovia. Tem passeios de mini comboio, mas apenas nalguns dias do mês (domingos salvo erro), o qual digo que tem de ser obrigatório para todas as crianças e adultos. Se estiverem em forma podem fazer um passeio nos quadriciclos (até 4 pessoas) num pequeno troço de linha férrea. Todos os anos existe o Festival do Vapor ! Se gostam de comboios e de toda a estática SteamPunk não podem faltar - tragam a vossa roupa retro futurista – Procurem a data e reservem na agenda. A edição de 2022 foi muito, muito boa, com espetáculos de música, artes e circo.
